The "Overlook Animal
Research Laboratory" has long been working on genetic engineering
without any trouble. That all changes one night when two would
be animal liberators set free a test rabbit, not knowing that
the bunny's genes have gone haywire. On the loose, the vicious
little beast soon attacks a farmer - Hans Kottentail. Hans quickly
begins to change. He grows fur, eats veggies and... hops. It
isn't long before murderous a rage overtakes poor Hans and he
begins picking off townsfolks at a rapid pace. It's up to 5
local women, each with ties to the case, to bring him down before
he kills them all.
"Kottentail" was
the movie which resulted from the "I Want to be a Scream
Queen" reality tv/internet actress search in which aspiring
actresses across the country (and Canada!) tried to land a starring
role in the movie. Five hopefuls were eventually cast and lent
their talents to this Easter gone bad fable. With terrific acting
and great monster design by Danielle Federico and assistant
Make-up FX by Tom Savini students including Brian Hillard and
Chris Mills, the film has been getting rave reviews and will
be released across the US (and Canada!) on October 3, 2006 and
will be released worldwide in 2006.
One reviewer commented:
"Urban has a Troma
approach to his story-telling. He knows what makes a good B-Movie
and what people want to see. He literally had the girls dress
up in bunny outfits to prepare for their final confrontation
with "Kottentail". It had sorority girls having a
pillow fight, he had them running around in outfits like a Catholic
girl. I mean come on, that's genious!"
