Aside from Critters 2 and *that* nightmarish segment from the recent horror anthology Holidays, there isn’t exactly a whole lot of Easter Horror to choose from. It’s a relatively untapped sub-sub-genre in the sub-genre of holiday horror, and just in time for Easter this year, the brand spankin’ new horror flick Rottentail arrives to do its own part in filling the gap.
Adapted from the graphic novel, Rottentail is the story of geeky fertility researcher Peter Cotton who, when bitten by a mutant rabbit, transforms into a vengeance-seeking half-man/half-bunny. What’s a boy to do? Why, take a hippity, hoppity trip home of course! Peter begins a bloody killing spree that culminates in his childhood hometown of Easter Falls.
Brian Skiba directed the film, which stars Corin Nemec as Dr. Peter Cotton. William McNamara and Dominique Swain also star. Check out the trailer below, via Rue Morgue.
Rottentail hits DVD & Blu-ray on April 26th.
