Peter Rottentail

Peter Rottentail (2004): Yes he does come hopping down the bunny trail but those expecting a parody of horror films would do better to look elsewhere. This one almost caused me to leave the horror field to other more determined reviewers. I just can’t take stuff this bad anymore. No budget, no plot, no logic, no nothing. It seems a really incompetent magician bumps into a voodoo doctor outside a home where he just bombed at a private party and receives a magic elixir. After taking this stuff he comes under the control of the voodoo guy and kills himself. Many years later some slackers say the magic words and back he comes, a dead magician with a rabbit head and a bad attitude. Everyone in this movie is either a slacker; a sorcerer, a demon, or an idiot. Along the way Rottentail gets a little tail from the floozy living across the street from the home he is sort of haunting. He kills some slackers, more slackers are introduced and one of the latter slackers eventually steps on Rottentail’s hat which causes him to disappear. The floozy eventually gives birth to a baby Rottentail and the movie mercifully ends. The best thing about the movie was that it lasted only about 75 minutes, and the flick is just a cut above an amateur movie. It does have a couple of clever slacker lines but that is about it. The movie is not rated, probably because all other critics refused to sit though this travesty. There is even a short bit after the closing credits admonishing the viewer for still watching and to ‘get a life’. You could do almost anything better with the 75 minutes of your life this is going to suck from you. Rotten certainly is the operative word for this flick.
