The Bunny Game

The Bunny Game (warning - trailer contains nudity)

As always, it's the messed up ones that peak my interest, so when the BBFC decided to refuse a certificate for (essentially banning) The Bunny Game, I was on it quicker than you can say 'That Wasckly Wabbit'. What I expected was a 'Human Centipede-esque' abortion of a movie and I wasn't disappointed! After a rather 'in your face' beginning, TBG then centers on a young drug-addled prostitute who slowly makes her way from one John to the next and one hit to the next for the first 30 or so minutes of this movie. She then jumps into the cab of a big rig and before you know it, she finds herself chained, stripped, shaved and continuously humiliated by the grizzled truck driver for the next 50 mins solid! I honestly felt at one point as if I'd had my drink spiked before I started watching it when the acid-trip-like elements went into full effect.

I was actually surprised by a few things in this film - firstly, it's actually rather well filmed, and the B&W works well. The acting is also rather good. Obviously, it goes without saying that this is a fairly grubby, sleazy bastard of a movie, but somehow, it just seems to work. If you live in the UK you'll have a slightly harder time tracking a copy down but it's worth a watch if you like them dark, dank and hard to watch.
