Bunny the Killer Thing (2015)
A group of seven young friends travel to a cabin in the dark woods of Finland for the weekend, where they have the misfortune of encountering a creature that's half-human, half-rabbit. In addition to satisfying its killer instinct, the ferocious creature also needs to satiate another pressing appetite.
What people think about Bunny the Killer Thing
Bunny the Killer Thing is the kind of midnight-movie dare that wins you over through sheer audacity: a proudly tasteless Finnish splatter-comedy that takes a ludicrous creature concept and commits to it with surprising craft. The production value is better than you’d expect for something this gleefully unhinged, and the gore effects land with the sticky, practical punch that horror fans crave, turning each escalation into a messy punchline. Its vibe is crude, chaotic, and cartoonishly violent—more punk-rock creature feature than polished satire—so if you like your horror loud, weird, and unapologetically niche, it delivers. Fair warning: the sexual violence themes are handled in an intentionally offensive, joke-forward way that will be a hard no for many viewers, but for those with a strong stomach and a taste for extreme bad-taste humor, it’s a singular, “did that really just happen?” experience.
Bunny the Killer Thing is clearly trying to be a shameless, midnight-movie mashup of cabin-in-the-woods horror, splatter comedy, and outrageous sex shock, and it commits to that low-budget chaos without blinking. The problem is the “joke” leans heavily on explicit sexual violence and juvenile genital humor, and if that premise already makes you wince, the film doesn’t get smarter or more tasteful as it goes. Story, characters, and pacing are basically an afterthought, so you’re left riding a disjointed sequence of gore bits that can feel more exhausting than entertaining. If you’re specifically hunting for nasty, tasteless, over-the-top exploitation with some practical splatter and don’t need coherence or likable people, you might find it perversely memorable; everyone else should save their time.
