Bunny the Killer Thing is out on DVD and Blu-Ray!

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 25, 2016 – If American did not self-implode when Donald Trump proclaimed his appendage was nothing short of monumental, than sure, America and all its genre film-loving fans will welcome star of BUNNY THE KILLER THING- a six foot tall fucking and killing rabbit with an 18-inch long schlong.

Artsploitation Films, in conjunction with FilmRise, has released the Finnish horror comedy on DVD and Blu-ray March 22nd and the film will enjoy its VOD premiere on most of the prime VOD outlets beginning May 16, 2016.

Filmed mostly in English by promising young director Joonas Makkonen, the bloody hilarious spoof follows a group of young adults who head to a remote cabin for a winter weekend. But soon they are confronted a half man, half creature who is compelled to stick his dangerously large penis into anything that resembles female genitals. Naked women (and men) are forced to flee into the snowy wilderness, Blood is soon shed and all kinds of human orifices are violated as the vocabulary-challenged Mr. Bunny ("Pussy!" is the limit of his words) wreaks havoc on the unsuspecting vacationers. Equal parts camp, gore, and comedy, Bunny has been described as, “Goofy, irreverent, and delightfully perverted” by cinemaslasher.com

Artsploitation’s Ray Murray warns concerned parents, cinematic conservatives and sense-of-humor-deprived feminists that Bunny can be seen as a horribly offensive film that wallows in scenes of rape, gratuitous nudity, bloody murders and all forms of sexual depravity. But for amoral genre film fans it is simply a hilarious, inventive and blood-drenched spoof of monster movies...with gratuitous nudity.

Hudson Horror 8

The Hudson Horror Show is a bi-annual horror film festival held in a small theater located in the back lot of a shopping center in Poughkeepsie New York. Right next door is a large indoor mall with what appears to be a large modern cineplex. This theater, however, is older. The floors are sticky. The seats are broken in. There aren't cup holders built into your armrest and the seating isn't stadium style. It's the perfect venue for an event like this. Something about this theater just feels right. It's like a time capsule from the heyday of theaters when 35mm was the only format and you didn't have to go broke going to the movies. I have been to every Hudson Horror show since it's inception, giving me the opportunity to see the likes of Rolling Thunder, The Return of the Living Dead, Phantasm 1 & 2, Cannibal Holocaust & Ferox, Silent Night Deadly Night, Evil Dead 1 & 2 & Army of Darkness, Demons, TCM 1 & 2, a shitload of Fulci films and many more, all in 35mm.

The show always begins the same. Show creator Chris Alo stands in front of the packed theater to thank sponsors and supporters and to spout out the rules. While some rules have been added as shows have gone along, to my knowledge none have been removed. These rules are key to the enjoyment of the festival. Without them there would surely be some asshole who would ruin the experience for everyone else. A few key rules are:

No talking at the screen. It is made crystal clear that we are not watching MST3K. We are there to watch the movies and not hear some asshole spout out jokes at the screen that aren't funny. Repeating dialogue from the film back at the screen with an inflection in your voice is not a joke. It's annoying and everyone will hate you. Example: In Silent Night Deadly Night someone was making "jokes" prompting one moviegoer to simply shout "shut the fuck up". He did.

No infants or toddlers. It may be hard to believe but some model parent actually brought their toddler to the Cannibal Holocaust screening. I have pretty liberal views when it comes to kids and horror films but this is Cannibal Holocaust we're talking about and it's a 12 hour festival. Most adults can barely handle it. Luckily they were booted before that particular movie started. I don't believe this rule was on the original list but had to be added because common sense doesn't always prevail.

I Spit on Your Grave 2 - Review

From its initial announcement I was vocally unenthusiastic of I Spit on Your Grave 2. I Spit on Your Grave was a film that I felt didn't require a remake let alone a sequel to the remake. After watching the movie I can say with confidence that I was correct in my initial reaction. This movie is trash. Not trashy like John Waters because that would be a good thing. It's just trash. Garbage.

The plot follows a young woman named Katie who moves to New York City from the mid-west with big dreams of becoming a model. Of course she struggles right out of the gate and is told that she has a lot of potential but her portfolio needs work. Out of desperation she contacts a photographer who offers free professional photos to models. The trade-off being that they are able to use the photos in their personal portfolio and make money off of them. She heads on over to this guys studio and there are three thick accented Bulgarian brothers who are all kinds of shady. She opts out of the photo shoot once things get weird but unfortunately she has garnered the attention of Georgy who apparently has a penchant for serial rape. Predictably he stalks her, eventually breaks into her home, murders her friend and brutally assaults her. Georgy calls his brother who decides they have to clean up the mess. This entails drugging Katie, shipping her to Bulgaria, finding a John who will pay a wad of cash to do what he wants to her, murdering her and disposing of her body. That's in a nutshell but there is a ton of sexual violence that happens in that span of time from an additional rape to cow prodding. It's brutal, graphic and difficult to watch. As we expect she survives and exacts revenge upon her abusers.
