Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear, where do I start? A quick glance at IMDB and cursory internet searches told me that this was gonna be a fun movie. Never trust the internet. I am beyond baffled.
The "movie" all pretty much takes place in a hallway. Early in the movie the mother mentions that she's redecorating, which I guess explains all the tarp hanging all over the place. In other words, some cheap ass folks done made a movie.
The premise is not unpromising. Mother and her retarded son are joined by moms white trash hillbillyesque boyfriend, who hates the retard but likes moms pussy. A stranger gives the little retard a pet rabbit since it's Easter eve. The boyfriend tells the kid he can keep the rabbit as long as he doesn't tell his mom all the mean things he says to him. Mom has to work a double shift, leaving kid and loser alone together, and all hell breaks loose.
The boyfriend offers the kid up to a pedophile in exchange for drugs and then goes and gets some hookers for fucking.
The rest I will not spoil except to say that it's dark, claustrophobic and not frightening in the slightest. Almost everything in the second half of the movie feels like it's being filmed in a tiny little space. The kills are nothing special at all. When all the tension comes from repeated shots of people moving their heads left and right because the set is as big as a crawlspace, well you better be a genius with the camera, and these guys aint.
The conclusion has a double twist that is laughable but on the bright side, any conclusion was OK with me as long as the drawn out thing was fucking over with.
The retard made me laugh, but they all do. The boyfriend was over the top and funny at first, but really started to wear as the movie went deeper. All the secondary characters and actors were fairly shit.
Have no fear film makers, the quintessential Easter horror movie is still waiting to be made.
