Film director, John Bacchus, is known for making horror comedies inspired by classic films. His work includes Frankenthug, Play-Mate of the Apes, Mad Maxine: Frisky Road, and Kinky Kong. And in 2014, Bacchus directed Beaster Day, which spoofs the stop-motion special, Here Comes Peter Cottontail.

The film centres around a giant, man-eating rabbit who rampages through a town on Easter. Because the mayor refuses to act, (as a nod to Jaws), it's up to an idiotic dogcatcher and a failed actress to save the day.

Although the budget was only $150,000, the special effects are so unpolished, it looks like the film cost ten times less. Almost every scene revolving around decapitation or dismemberment has distracting green-screen. Also, the Beaster Bunny looks more like a a rat than a rabbit. I mean, we weren't expecting Citizen Kane or anything from a movie called Beaster Day but the least it could do is make the titular rabbit look like... y'know... a rabbit.

All in all, Beaster Day is only worth checking out if you're looking for a movie that's so bad, it's... almost watchable.
