Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
bandito B grade fun .some good one liners Worth 8+ Bunny is Hilarious and hyper violent.Big time nudity and exaggerated long scenes.This should be played and compete in festivals and win audience award.Do not read too much spoilers before you see it.
GL84 Upset over the treatment of the holiday, the Easter Bunny escapes into our world to wreak havoc on the church groups intending to officially ban the holiday and forces a devout priest to protect his next targeted victim before he kills her to complete his deadly mission.For a micro-budget effort, this one was quite enjoyable. What really makes this one so much fun is the fact that there's no end to the wild antics on display throughout here which makes for quite a thrilling time. The different changes to the storyline throughout here, from the universe established here that depicts the church as a corporation of demon hunters possessing all sorts of high-tech weaponry in the fight against demons and other supernatural creatures to the concept of the Easter Bunny as a creature of folklore who wants to keep the celebration going against those who want to abolish it, make for quite an appealing and disparate element that makes for quite a different tone throughout here. This universe allows for plenty of enjoyable exploitative elements as the two sides engage in their pitched battle here with tons of appropriate holiday-themed content, from explosive easter candies to bombs shaped like eggs to deadly flying puffs and much more throughout here that give this one a rather fun feel throughout here while adding alongside the rather fun action within here, from the opening slaughter of the demons in their special cult to the rampage in the hotel that features him going through the different groups of priests and associates there with them which features tons of gruesome, unique kills here using the holiday paraphernalia and the big series of brawls he engages in against the different hench- creatures sent against him which all gives this some solid action scenes throughout here. The big finale against the gigantic creature makes for a goofy and somewhat silly conclusion here which manages to fit in alongside the rest of the action here and makes for quite a cheesy film overall when added alongside the continuous nudity and goofy special effects. There are a few minor flaws here which are quite obvious to see throughout here in that there's just no way the budget here could've told the story accurately, leaving this one with some jarring special effects no matter how goofy or silly it is. The fact that the main creature is obviously a hand-held puppet, the minions are simple sugar-filled candy and most of the film is washed over cheap and obvious CGI manages to really make the film's shortcomings all the more open to the viewer. There's also the fact that there's little sense to the story here about what's going on as there are so many different plot points being featured here, and it really could've attempted a more linear form throughout here that makes sense which this one doesn't. These here are what hold this one down.Rated: Continuous Full Nudity, Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, several sex scenes and drug use.
DVD_Connoisseur Sometimes, during those quiet times before sleep, I wonder why it took me so long to discover the independent creative hurricane that is Dustin Mills. Imagine if Full Moon Pictures and Troma married and gave birth to a brilliant young studio, this would be Dustin Mills Productions. Dustin Mills' Easter Casket is a fantastic horror offering from the underground with a fun and light edge. As with his other films, it looks gorgeous, has a great score, solid performances, a witty script and perfect pace. Mills balances drama with genuine laugh-out-loud puppet antics in a manner that very few directors could pull off. Moving from an intimate human love scene to puppet decadence that puts The Wolf of Wall Street to shame (with the fabric-skinned ones sniffing lines of cocaine whilst experiencing the rampant appetite of the principal character, a certain Easter Bunny), this is jaw-dropping stuff. Some of the effects work in this minuscule-budget movie are beautiful to behold. I'm always left a bit shell shocked by a Dustin Mills movie. There's so much imaginative goodness crammed in, it's like watching a film that's popped straight out of the director's mind. There's no compromise in these productions. Who needs a budget when you've talent oozing out of every pore?The cast are excellent as always and there are some familiar faces along for the ride. I'd not seen Jason Crowe before but he's a very likable lead with real charisma. Mills always picks great femme fatales in his productions. Erin (Skinless, Kill That Bitch) Ryan is cute as a button and a great actress. She manages to maintain a straight face and delivers a strong performance whilst all sorts of brilliant lunacy explodes colourfully around her. Allison Fitzgerald makes an appearance as a naughty nun whilst (in the extended version of the film) the delightful Hayley Jay Madison has a naughty and memorable appearance with Peter Cottontail. I love this picture. Another 10 out of 10. It's surely only a matter of time before the big studios discover Dustin Mills. Whilst this can be the end of true creativity for some artists, I do see this gentleman becoming something like the next Peter Jackson. You read it here, first.
andyunderhill72 I've been meaning to write a review for this film for a while now. I picked this up some months ago at a horror convention and I don't regret it at all. The short version is that this film is worth your time and excels at doing as much as it can with such a small budget. It's funny and impressive.There's some negatives I'll get out of the way first. A couple points have pacing issues. One of them is an extended dialog scene between the two lead characters, a priest and a school girl. While I understand it's to get to know these characters, and I appreciate what is a VERY calm moment in what has otherwise been an extreme roller coaster, it lasts too long. The other is an OVERLY extended nude strip sequence that has to do with a ritual. I love nudity in my horror films. So if I think a nude scene is too long, there's a problem. And the only other negative I can point out is that during the final sequence of the film, Peter Cottontail is impossible to understand.That's it. In the whole movie that is ALL that is wrong with it. It's otherwise a GREAT story, as well as is completely unique. The ACTUAL Easter Bunny, Peter Cottontail, is an Old God/demon hell bent on returning to his rightful place as a ruler. Standing in his way is what I can best describe as a Templar Power Ranger, who has special battle armor to fight the demon and his evil baby chicks.It's fun, it's funny, and I want every movie to have Super Pope in it. Trust me, you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.The acting is also very balanced throughout. While not every SINGLE actor is perfect, NOBODY is bad. Everyone plays their part fine at worst, but most of everyone in the film nails what they're meant to do.I completely suggest Easter Casket to anyone that wants to give a Microbudget film a try.
