Rodleen Getsic, the co-writer and star of Adam Rehmeier’s relentless horror film The Bunny Game, is also in need of a little bit of help this week. She owes more than 50K in medical bills from an accident that has left her with “difficulty with mobility, body, and brain function, with balance, walking, and doing normal activities. She is in severe chronic disabling pain centered from her brainstem.”

Additionally, “She is in severe chronic disabling pain centered from her brainstem. This tragic event has changed Rodleen’s life forever. She is disabled and unable to work. Her injury has been worsening over time.”

Her condition is sounds very severe and quite unfortunate. If you are so inclined, please read more about it here. There is an option to donate towards her medical expenses if you wish.

Autonomy Pictures presents the second of four teaser posters for the upcoming US release of Adam Rehmeier’s relentless horror film The Bunny Game. The unflinching indie film was recently banned in England but will see an Uncut, Uncensored North America limited theatrical (in states that will permit it) and DVD/Blu-ray release in July. Dates and additional information will be announced soon. Keep up-to-date with their official Facebook page. You can click here for the first poster and hi-res imagery.

“‘Bunny Game’ follows a female prostitute (Rodleen Getsic) who hitches a lift with a truck driver. The truck driver (Jeff Renfro) kidnaps the woman, restrains and forcibly strips her, and proceeds to physically and sexually abuse and humiliate her.”

When we last heard any news about Adam Rehmeier’s The Bunny Game, it had been rejected for home video release by the BBFC who stated, “It is the Board’s carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to this work, even if confined to adults, would be inconsistent with the Board’s Guidelines, would risk potential harm within the terms of the Video Recordings Act, and would accordingly be unacceptable to the public.”

Rehmeier responded to Bloody Disgusting at the time stating: “I think ‘The Bunny Game’ is way less disturbing than ‘Pretty Woman’. Somehow it’s more socially acceptable to glamorize prostitution under the guise of a rags-to-riches fairy tale where Richard Gere falls in love with the whore by the end of the film.” He continues, “Rodleen and I didn’t make ‘The Bunny Game’ to glamorize prostitution. It is far from an erotic film. It is a modern cautionary tale grounded in reality.” READ MORE

The Bunny Game Becomes Latest Victim Of BBFC Censorship

It was announced back in June that Trinity acquired UK rights to Adam Rehmeier’s highly controversial film The Bunny Game and will be releasing it through their new home entertainment label Trinity X in early 2012.

Unfortunately, it looks as if Rehmeier has a lot more in common with Tom Six than he knew. Much like The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence), The Bunny Game‘s DVD release has been rejected by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). I don’t understand why they feel the need to publicly humiliate these films, like they’re going to shame them into submission.

Bunny Games follows a female prostitute (Rodleen Getsic) who hitches a lift with a truck driver. The truck driver (Jeff Renfro) kidnaps the woman, restrains and forcibly strips her, and proceeds to physically and sexually abuse and humiliate her. The abuse of the kidnapped woman takes up the greater part of the film. I like to call it “hyper horror”.

Condemning yet another film, David Cooke, Director of the BBFC stated: “It is the Board’s carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to this work, even if confined to adults, would be inconsistent with the Board’s Guidelines, would risk potential harm within the terms of the Video Recordings Act, and would accordingly be unacceptable to the public.”

Rehmeier responds exclusively to Bloody Disgusting stating: “I think ‘The Bunny Game’ is way less disturbing than ‘Pretty Woman’. Somehow it’s more socially acceptable to glamorize prostitution under the guise of a rags-to-riches fairy tale where Richard Gere falls in love with the whore by the end of the film.” He continues, “Rodleen and I didn’t make ‘The Bunny Game’ to glamorize prostitution. It is far from an erotic film. It is a modern cautionary tale grounded in reality.”

CENSORSHIP.
