Have an appreciation for horror with shades of thriller, slasher can be done well as well. So despite hearing a lot of negativity, 'Bunnyman Vengeance's' premise did really intrigue. Plus the cover was an attention-grabbing one. Really wanted to like it and for it to not be another waste of decent potential.
Watching it, unfortunately 'Bunnyman Vengeance' turned out to be exactly that...a waste of decent potential for precisely the same reasons as the previous 'Bunnyman' films. Not how to execute an intriguing idea. It's not irredeemably awful by any stretch, there is one good thing. Sadly eclipsed by the numerous things 'Bunnyman Vengeance' gets catastrophically wrong. Some unintentional humour that was just cheesy and irritating, the attempts at seriousness felt misplaced and the incoherence of the editing and the dialogue make it very difficult to take it seriously and the horror elements were predictable, not scary and too tame, no matter how much gratuitous blood effects it threw in.
Lets get the good things out of the way first. The best thing about 'Bunnyman Vengeance' is the villain's look, it is great. So cool and menacing, not goofy at all.
Uniformly the acting ranges from very bad to truly terrible, lots of histrionics and an equal amount of phoning in. Their cringe-worthy, unintentionally silly dialogue (one deserves a prize if they succeed in not bursting out laughing when they're not meant to, that is a challenge), annoying characters with stupid and illogical decision-making and behaviours (so there is nothing to make us root for them) and indifferent direction gave them no favours.
Neither did the story, which is paper thin and much of it doesn't make any sense, with scenes that bear no relevance. It is also contradictory in continuity and personally didn't notice many answers, one that satisfied or interested anyhow There is no tension or suspense here, no surprises, no creativity, no wit and the only thing that is scary is the look of the villain and the scare factor ends there. The kills are un-creative, instead of biting the nails one is shrugging their shoulders, and the whole horror atmosphere feels tame and leans towards being dumb. Other than the villain's look, the rest of the effects are ropy.
'Bunnyman' is an eyesore visually. With the lighting and camera work, it seemed to striving for the showing off or experimenting with supposedly arty to them feel but instead it comes off amateurish and nauseating. The editing is incoherent. Cannot remember the music, other than its over-bearing intrusiveness.
Overall, not irredeemable but very bad. 2/10 Bethany Cox

First of all, calling these movies a trilogy is a stretch. The only thing the three have in common is that Bunnyman is in the movies and the titles. Nothing else connects the "stories". Since they wasted three hours without any back story, this time it's all back story and none of it makes any sense. I think they imply that the black guy who set Bunnyman on fire when he was a kid is now his keeper and weirdly about the same age as "Mike". Just ignore the fact that this back story totally contradicts everything that has happened in the other movies. This movie has zero entertainment value and should never be seen by anyone.
This has to be one of the only film trilogies I've seen where each film in it winds up becoming worse than the last. The acting is just terrible. The characters are one dimensional cliches. And don't get me started on that AWFUL CGI! It's like 90% of this movie's (small) budget went towards that and it didn't even look believable. It's like they got some amateur film student to do it for them. Maybe I'm going a little too hard on it considering the low budget, but the way it was written, this film was doomed from the start.

I'm a hardcore horror fan and I've sat through Human Centipede and Martyrs without an eye blink. At least those two movies had a point.
This is 100% pure garbage and seems to imply that Black people are savages who murder white people for jollies and it's racism offends me.
I should have turned away from any movie that opens with a little kid being set on fire- again for jollies- after the first second. Anyone associated with that movie should be ashamed.
AVOID.

Bunnyman Vengeance is a great end to the franchise. Bunnyman Vengeance is a throwback to the old school film making when filmmakers had to rely on imagination to make these kinds of movies, not millions of dollars. Bunnyman Vengeance is an example of what can accomplished on a very limited budget, with limited actors on basically one location. The people who made are real artist who knows how to tell a compelling story with visually arresting imagery. Yes, the acting is questionable for the most part, but we have to realize this is a low non union film. Your not gonna get great actors in these low budget horror films. I prefer to focus on the positive, what was made out of very little, and appreciate the accomplishment that was pulled off. It's a better way to appreciate life in general. Bunnyman Vengeance is good, check the film out.

If you enjoy Wrong turn, The hills have eyes and Texas chainsaw massacre this is the same type of movie. Is it as disgusting and evil as those other horror movies? - I'm not sure, but a lot of people die in horrible ways. Sometimes the deaths are portrayed a bit humorous and it works, adding a tone to the raw violence. The movie has been influenced by other horror films and is in no way unique. But I like it.

First a disclaimer, I'm a fan of the franchise so I'm a bit biased here. What we have in part 3 is both the expected and unexpected. Expected cause the filmmakers finally answered the questions us fans wanted from day 1, Who is Bunnyman? where did Bunnyman come from? When your at part 3, you gotta answer some questions for the fans. The unexpected is we have basically a hole new cast of characters to surround the main protagonist. This is good since it keeps the franchise fresh. This was a good installment in the franchise.

Rebuking it's low budget origins, and brimming with creativity. Bunnyman Vengeance is a fitting end to the trilogy. Each chapter in this series has the "antagonist" ? Bunnyman running into a new group of people in a new adventure. This installment is the most unique of the series. I honestly expected the franchise to conclude in one way, and the film went in a completely different direction (which was a nice surprise). Generally film franchises start to get a little long in the tooth by part 3, however Bunnyman Vengeance (again with a pleasant surprise) ends the series on a high note, with the best one yet.

This is like if third graders who've seen nothing but saw and played only call of duty tried to make a movie.
It's amazing.
There's a sequence in the movie that features someone who sounds a lot like Kraftwerk where the imagery is just one of the strangest, acid trip/fever dream inducing things I've ever seen.
The movie has a lot of genuinely creepy parts that would be awesome if the rest of the movie wasn't so awful.

Bunnyman Vengeance doesn't pull off its stylistic intention in a way that communicates a well-rounded story. The story feels skimmed for its gruesome premise, while the atmosphere tugs between stark surrealism and vintage 80's notes, made more confusing by the sampling of previous Bunnyman films. When considering the evocative, deliberate crafting of Bunnyman Vengeance, it seems a shame that the director didn't take the same detailed approach.
However, and the combination of design and casting is hard to dismiss altogether. Its combination of awkward dark humor, surrealism, and horror has all the ingredients of a midnight masterpiece. One just wishes Lindbergh would have taken everything a step further - deeper, crazier, nastier. Considering the setup, he should have done so much more.
Even if Bunnyman Vengeance doesn't live up to its potential, its visceral imagery is very effective, and the film momentarily captivates through uncanny design and great cinematography. Lindbergh remains a director to watch, particularly if he finds stronger source material next time. Howeve Bunnyman Vengeance does provide enough macabre entertainment to hold us over until that happens.

As a huge horror fan and fan of independent films, I know and appreciate a good horror flick when I see one. There was a lot of heart and soul put into this film, and it shows. The music through out the film gives an unnerving tone and just gets you uneasy. The way it is filmed does make it more realistic and scary. Aside from other reviews on this page, id have to politely disagree, I think all of the actors did superb on acting and everything about the film you can tell a lot of hard work was put in. For an independent film, from a true horror fan such as myself, I give this five stars. Thats what a film is all about, having fun watching it. Not a lot of people know what it is like to make a film.... i.e. the money that gets put into it, the time, the writing, the scripts, location scouting, planning, rehearsal, makeup, etc.... therefore those people cannot appreciate all the effort one put into the film. The film is just a fun watch.
