I've been meaning to write a review for this film for a while now. I picked this up some months ago at a horror convention and I don't regret it at all. The short version is that this film is worth your time and excels at doing as much as it can with such a small budget. It's funny and impressive.
There's some negatives I'll get out of the way first. A couple points have pacing issues. One of them is an extended dialog scene between the two lead characters, a priest and a school girl. While I understand it's to get to know these characters, and I appreciate what is a VERY calm moment in what has otherwise been an extreme roller coaster, it lasts too long. The other is an OVERLY extended nude strip sequence that has to do with a ritual. I love nudity in my horror films. So if I think a nude scene is too long, there's a problem. And the only other negative I can point out is that during the final sequence of the film, Peter Cottontail is impossible to understand.
That's it. In the whole movie that is ALL that is wrong with it. It's otherwise a GREAT story, as well as is completely unique. The ACTUAL Easter Bunny, Peter Cottontail, is an Old God/demon hell bent on returning to his rightful place as a ruler. Standing in his way is what I can best describe as a Templar Power Ranger, who has special battle armor to fight the demon and his evil baby chicks.
It's fun, it's funny, and I want every movie to have Super Pope in it. Trust me, you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.
The acting is also very balanced throughout. While not every SINGLE actor is perfect, NOBODY is bad. Everyone plays their part fine at worst, but most of everyone in the film nails what they're meant to do.
I completely suggest Easter Casket to anyone that wants to give a Microbudget film a try.
