It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen!It did not stay on the same scene more than 10 seconds at a time. It kept showing the same things over and over. The constant blinking lights were annoying. All you hear is annoying screaming through the whole movie with very very little talking. There was absolutely nothing about this movie to like. There are absolutely no words that could do justice to how ridiculous this movie was.I would rather go back to when my boys were little and watch the same Barney video over and over again! Please don't waste your time on this piece of crap! I rated it a 1 because that is the lowest you could rate it!

(Contains spoilers) There is a self-destructive female prostitute.There is a male sadist.The male sadist kidnaps the female and tortures her.That is all.Really, that's it.A film which contains only these 3 things could inspire the viewer to ponder the horror experienced by the victim, or the motivations and nature of the abuser. This film, however, does not. It is actually difficult to make torture boring. Humans are hard-wired for empathy (research mirror neurons if you are curious) and even fictional imagery of other humans in tortuous situations will normally cause some sort of reaction in the viewer. This film does not. The abuser and victim both are hollow. They fill their roles as if punching a clock. They are as bored as the audience. The abuser has no desire to abuse or to stop abusing. The victim has no desire to stop suffering or to continue to suffer. They are void. Though human in shape, there is no humanity in either. The film might as well be two machines screeching and banging against each other.

The Bunny game, is a black and white film focused around the life of a cocaine addicted prostitute, who is abducted by a truck driver, degraded and tortured for a period of time in the desert.Usually with shock films you're presented with extreme blood and gore, however, The Bunny Game steers away from gore and leaves you with a masterpiece based solely on violence and sexual acts which will truly disturb the average human being.From the start, you're dropped into Bunny's world, the cruel life of a woman who turned to prostitution to feed her drug addiction. After viewing her life around dominant males, she meets Hog, an unknown truck driver who quickly takes advantage and kidnaps her, strips her and chains her to the inside of his truck. For the rest of the film you see Hog, torturing and humiliating her in extreme ways, from sexual acts, dragging her with a leash around a desert to branding. As far as story line goes, The Bunny Game is hugely lacking, it seems we are just dropped half way through the story. The first 15 minutes is about Bunny's sex infested drug life but it would of been better to see more of her past. Then you meet Hog, who is a complete stranger to us. We have no idea why he is doing this or whether he has done this in the past. However the lack of storyline between the characters makes it seem more believable as a story. You don't tend to know the other person's back-story so this gives it an element of realism.The movie aside, the special features is the most shocking thing, interviews with Jeff F. Renfro (Hog) and Rodleen Getsic (Bunny) we come to the truth about how they can pull off this element of torture with such a low budget. Well it turns out all the torture was real (minus the drug and alcohol abuse). It was a huge shock to me to find out the there are actors out there willing to get their head shaved, be branded and suffocated for a film. Even Gregg Gilmore, who was originally going to play Hog, pulled out at the last minute as it was too dark and real for him to do.

The Bunny game is a black and white film focused around the life of a cocaine addicted prostitute who is abducted by a truck driver and degraded and tortured for a period of time in the desert. One review caught my attention- There is an issue that the lengths of certain shots are "boring" and/or "pointless" and i have to say that i disagree. Nor do i think the lengths of shots are there to merely build up tension. I think the way this film is shot makes it so that the viewer does not passively engage in viewing the film as a mere sadistic turn on or curiosity. I'm sure some just seek out this genre in order to tick a box... I think this is a film that successfully uses a certain level of art house, somewhat experimental style to allow the viewer some distance from its content. On the one hand it ventures to be as realistic as possible , yet on the other uses techniques that are distancing, highlighting the creative process of making the film. Personally, i didn't feel a great deal of sympathy for the central character. Next to no dialogue and a rebellious looking cocaine addicted female prostitute coupled with intermittent strong, hard, fast music... I guess you assume she can handle herself and this is her choice. I enjoyed the concept of time in the film too. She has no idea how long she has been there and i found that i lost a sense of time while watching the film as it becomes dizzying and almost seemed circular at times. On another note, does the truck driver actually rape her? I can't remember that he does... I particularly loved the film for its ending. I don't think it could have ended any other way! She was a nobody at the start of the film , you didn't get to know her through out the film and in the end she just disappears from the screen to an unknown future, an unknown person. I'm sure this is the most realistic aspect of using the role of a prostitute. They move around a lot and no one raises much concern if they just vanish. They are an easy target. I found the conclusion of the film rather poignant considering the rest of it. I look forward to a second viewing to analyse it further. I haven't read anything of the film, its making or the director so shall maybe research it a bit.
