Peter Rottentail played by one of the movie's directors John Polonia is no ordinary pet.A part-human,part-rabbit monstrosity produced by a magician at one horrific birthday party,Peter is out for blood.When a couple decides to rent the house in which the party took place,they're in for a murderous fight for their lives.I haven't seen "Razorteeth",but if it is as bad as "Peter Rottentail" then I give up.The acting,the special effects,the dialogue,the gore-everything is straight from grade school play.Admittedly I laughed few times during this childish and unfunny horror comedy.The bunny rabbit who uses carrots to kill is a great idea,but not well-developed here.I kind of enjoyed "Splatter Farm" due to its morbid mood,but this one goes to the trash can.

This movie is terrible with some lines that will have you rolling

Peter Rottentail (2004) is a movie I recently watched off Tubi for free for the holiday season 🐣. The storyline focuses on two long time friends that are going to remodel a house one of the friends recently inherited. During the same time a murderous rabbit emerges taking out everyone in the neighborhood until he encounters the two friends. This movie is directed by John and Mark Polonia (Feeders and Forest Primeval) and stars Brice Kennedy (Gorilla Warfare) and David Fife (Zombies vs Big Foot). The storyline for this is awful and so is the execution of Peter Rottentail; however, the buddy storyline reminded me of a poor man's Clerks. Their zingers and constant banter had me cracking up. There's some great lines like "no seeds and stems this time" and a hilarious murder at the pay phone while a guy conversates with his wife in front of a strip club. Unfortunately the kill scenes like the magic potion and guy who spits our blood from a packet that's way too obvious make you cringe while watching it. Overall this movie is terrible with some lines that will have you rolling. I'd score this a 4/10.
a rotton tale

visually stunning, ground breaking, a piece of work that far outreaches its original goals,the best climactic twist in thriller history. The parting shots are chilling and leave a lingering horror in the viewer's mind.. sorry these words do not describe this film.
Humour you say? i could hear myself laughing while watching this but it was a sad desperate sound rather like that of someone who has just overdosed on anti-depressants and realized their numbing fate.If this movie ever shows anywhere near you..get out of there, run..run like the wind because peter rottentail is there behind you bouncing like a tragic costumed vegan twit and will bore you to death. All in all i give this film a 7/10 :) thank you

1st off I'd like to say I'm all for low budget films and wouldn't judge a film as being bad if it wasn't,but this is really in my top 10 worst films I've ever seen.
Sub Rosa's a company who you can split into two parts the fine Eric Stanze productions (he's groundbreaking now,just wait till he gets the budget he deserves) and this which wouldn't even work as a troma release.
I know your not meant to take these cult comic,grade-z films serious but this isn't good by a long shot bad video fx,bad unfunny dialog,bad plot & and most of all a bad idea to stretch what woulda made a lame skit on a comedy show,just hope they had fun making it cause I very much doubt anyone who wasn't involved in it would.
theNomad says go eleswere for this style of film done well,if you haven't you could check out street trash or brain damage..(1 out of 10 for the "nice carrot patch" line)

Great Movie for cheese fans, and it's Palonia!
azirphaeli8 July 2004
Horror movie and B-Movie fans everywhere know that good films often are the cheesiest ones in which the directors take light of the movie and make it an enjoyable experience for it's viewers. This movie fits right in with great classics we all know and love. We watch them for kicks with our friends or suffer through them on MST3k. There's no need for Mike and The Bots here though, as you'll be having enough fun with the movie by yourself, or bonuses if you bring your friends. Just beware, it takes a B-Movie fan to truly enjoy this, bring your Hollywood blockbuster CGI loving friends along, and they'll lynch you. If you've seen any other Palonia films you'll know why. He cares more about actual film making then about cramming Special Effects down your throat. The end result is a fun filled, Cheese ridden B-Movie that will stick with you for a long long time.
OMG... this is worse than Splatter Farm!!!

For crying out loud... aren't an artist's films supposed to get better as they make more of them? This video is worse than their film Splatter Farm!!! I had to shut this garbage off after 20 minutes... I just couldn't take it! Slow pacing, horrible soundtrack, crappy effects.. what else could possibly go wrong? I wasn't going to stick around to find out... I shut it off. These guys may have some thoughtful ideas... but damn... can't they do anything right? Lets have a 10 minute scene of some bum dumpster hopping... lets kill everyone and show that they are dead by having crappy fake blood dribble out of their mouths. Blech!!!! That's what you'll do if you try to watch this turkey!!! Was a little bit better than 13 Seconds though!
Funny film, good acting
btesmotel7 July 2004
One of the best independent films I've seen in some time, from the legendary Polonia Brothers. A very "tongue-in-cheek" production which doesn't skimp on the cheese, but which nonetheless contains some impressive effects. Most noteworthy are Lenny's death scene and the final battle between James and Peter Rottentail. Funny stuff! The DVD features prove to be quite informative(especially the director's commentary and the interviews with the cast), and provide an insight into the world of low-budget film making. The two lead characters compliment each other nicely and have a good chemistry. Watch this one with some friends for an experience which can only be described as "unique"!
Here comes Peter Rottentail - Hopping down the Rotten Trail
Dr. Gore11 August 2005
Warning: Spoilers
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*
The cast of "Razorteeth" reunites to torment us once more. We haven't suffered enough. This time, the result is "Peter Rottentail", a killer rabbit-man flick. A magician swallows a Rottentail potion and promptly dies. Years later, two misfits read a spell and Rottentail comes hopping out of his grave. He's a giant bunny rabbit who wears a suit and hat. Rottentail kills various people for fun and wants to finish off the two brats who made fun of him years ago. The brats have now grown up into two slackers who wonder what they've done to deserve the bunny man's wrath. I know the reason. They're in a terrible B-movie of course. Peter Rottentail doesn't need to know any more than that.
"Peter Rottentail" is lame. A very depressing "blah" feeling will wash over you as the movie ends. You'll think about all of the cool things you could have been doing instead of watching this pathetic movie. At least I laughed a couple of times at "Razorteeth". This flick just had me depressed at its nothingness. It deserves a good bashing.
Here are a couple of things. First, why does the giant white bunny rabbit have black hairy hands? Did they run out of rabbit costumes at the Dollar store and had to go with a leftover gorilla suit? One guy goes out to a strip club. Well, he says it's a strip club but it's the only one I know where there is siding on the walls and an ancient pinball machine in it. I wondered why they even bothered putting a scene in a strip club since I knew this movie couldn't possibly afford any nudity. I was right as the whole "strip club" scene consists of the camera looking at the guy! No strippers at the strip club. Genius! The main fatality with this one is Rottentail. He makes lots of lame jokes and even lamer kills. He's one lame bunny. Let Peter Rottentail hop, hop, hop away.

Best movie ever produced. The special effects are top-tier, the acting is extremely high quality, the set and character design is just plain incredible. The plot is brilliantly written and directed. The main antagonist Peter is slowly lowered into villainy with exquisite character development, becoming evil due to the abuse he was faced with in his work field. The depiction of a distressing work environment was displayed raw in this movie, forcing watchers to witness the heart-wrenching depressive state Peter was in, leading him to an untimely death. The scene where he returned to seek revenge had me at the edge of my seat, just waiting to see the fate placed onto those miserable people. The plot is expertly driven into chaos from there... the following events are terrifying and nerve-wracking, exactly what I am pursuing when watching a horror movie. I will say no more other than my one final statement... this movie is better than the Godfather.
