AFFF: Chad Ferrin's EASTER BUNNY, KILL! KILL!

Chad Ferrin's Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! is scheduled to be screened at the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival (AFFF) on April 22nd (technically, April 23rd) at 12:00 a.m.. The movie had its world première at the Twisted Nightmare Weekend (TNW) convention in Middleburg Heights, Ohio on August 4th of last year.

The screenplay for Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! was written by Ferrin. The movie stars Timothy Muskatell as Remington, Ricardo Gray as Nicholas, Charlotte Marie as Mindy, Trent Haaga as the bum/Donald, David Z. Stamp as Ray Mann, Marina Blumenthal as Lupe, Max Haaga as young Nicholas, Jose I. Lopez as Jorge, Ernesto Redarta as B.F., Kirk Sever as the newscaster, Jeff Sisson as the clerk, Amy Szychowski as Brooke, and Kele Ward as Candy.

Here's a description of Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! from the AFFF website: "A good title goes a long way, and with Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!, Chad Ferrin is halfway there. The reference to Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! shouldn't be taken too seriously though, because Ferrin has quite a different approach. The director, who had the AFFF audience cringing in their seats in 2004 with the nasty The Ghouls, is not exactly known for his gentle outlook on life. ¶ Where The Ghouls had an actor with Down's Syndrome playing a very unsympathetic role, Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! features a mentally-challenged character as a (not-so-helpless) victim. This is Nicholas, who lives with his mother Mindy and is obsessed with Easter. The tough life of mother and son seems to be taking a turn for the better when Mindy falls in love with Rem, but he turns out to be a total brute who abuses Nicholas in every (un)imaginable way. Nicholas has a surprise trick up his sleeve though: a mysterious killer who hides his face behind an Easter bunny mask. ¶ The strength of this film lies in the fact that a premise which sounds ridiculous on paper, is executed without too many attempts to lighten things up. Although Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! has its share of outrageous black humour, Ferrin takes his horror very seriously, if not the pointy-eared killer's grisly slaughter sessions, then definitely the everyday horror of child abuse, drug addiction, and paedophilia. And Timothy Muskatell, who plays the ultra-sadistic Rem, reveals himself to be a modern David Hess."
