**_A killer bunny-man is loose at a cabin-in-the-woods in England_** A year after graduating high school, several youths in England are invited to a vacation home by a mutual friend thought to be dead. They all show up due to guilt, along with a couple guests, but a mysterious person in a huge bunny mask starts picking ’em off one-by-one. Will anyone survive? "Easter Bunny Massacre" (2021) is a low-budget Brit slasher with no-name actors influenced by “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and "I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer" just with a cabin-in-the-woods setting. I saw the director’s previous film and was impressed by the relative proficient filmmaking so decided to give this a shot. The technical quality is actually a slight step down, probably due to much of the flick being shot indoors (as opposed to his other one). But the cast and writing are good for the most part, except for a couple of eye-rolling cliches. The moody score creates a reverent tone, reminiscent of the song “A Deeper Kind of Slumber” from 1997. Speaking of the tone, I appreciate how the proceedings are kept serious despite the amusing nature of the killer wearing a blood-soaked bunny mask. Yet I couldn’t help wondering how the slayer was able to move around so stealthily wearing such an awkward piece. Wouldn’t you have to see and hear properly to do what he does? The female cast is quite good, highlighted by brunette Sarah T. Cohen (Janey), redhead May Kelly (Amy) and blonde Antonia Whillans (Heather). The movie runs 1 hour, 25 minutes, and was shot in Somerset, England, which is a 3-hour drive west of London. GRADE: C-/C
