Barf Bunny Review from Putrid Productions!
We’ve been invited to a picnic with Barf Bunny, but it’s no picnic we’ve been to before! Our hostess, Felicia Fisher (The Degenerates, Fluid Fields), entertains us with a plethora of sexual consumption, including ingredients with an inglorious yet altruistic vigour. Playfully, she teases the viewer/voyeur with her notions such as “you’re not going to tell anybody, are you?” and “there’s nobody else around”, her sinful glee emits a naughtiness so beguiling yet so devious it’s impossible to look away.
Vile Video Productions, helmed by the great Jonathan Doe (The Degenerates), presents us with a film that almost has a children’s TV like vibe, although it’s not for children as he brings on the sickness, literally. Introduced with the calming melody of Strauss and Tchaikovsky, you can’t help but think that this is for sardonic reasons; Kubrick has given us sex and violence with classical music and numerous other filmmakers too, so here’s a filmmaker that wants to present to you a purge like no other. The comedic, tongue-in-cheek deliverance of such content makes it remarkably enjoyable. Shot with a stable and casual mid-shot throughout, it elicits a cam girl essence with Fisher’s performance, you can tell that Fisher is enjoying her racy antics on screen and that’s what makes the presentation so genuine.
The voluptuous consumption, the sound of squelching and gulps intensify with the devouring of berries, grapes, and carrots, helped with the phallic usage of a plastic carrot to help bring the mess back up from her tummy. The Blue Danube by Strauss II plays during her devilish and succulent feast only to be churned out to be “tummy goo”. Those with emetophilia, podophilia (a scene with the usage of her feet to feed her galvanising mouth) and fans of ‘sploshing’ will be satiated with this deviantly diabolical bon appétit. Fisher presents herself with a child-like innocence, repulsively played with an authentic enjoyment. She graphically describes the tastes as she vomits the contents up into her bowls, it makes a more sensual viewing, almost allowing the viewer to take in her experience, eliciting an aroused state during her hungry danse macabre.
Fisher is jovially dressed as a bunny, hence the title, Barf Bunny, this creates an almost unnerving presentation; what we see is an emetophiliac’s wet dream whilst almost anticipating an almost Jackanory element, however, this isn’t your usual foodie programme that shows ostentatious meals, this is a sickness that pervasively fills the screen with no apologies whatsoever. This is play time but with an urge to purge… Barf Bunny is Lucifer Valentine amplified. There is no narrative, just dining with the pining to bring it all back up along with a gory conclusion including decapitation, scalping and brain removal; a neurological autopsy filled with vomit, perhaps a statement that Doe might be making is that we all have our own sickness/fetish, you may as well embrace it and indulge at all cost. Even if it does cost your life.
What makes Barf Bunny a pleasurable watch (whether vomiting is your thing or not) is Fisher’s deliverance. Such deplorable acts with a carnal twist emits from the vomit-filled mouth of Fisher, this film definitely applies to those that relish such paraphilia with pleasure. Also, for those that are hungry for gore aren’t dissatisfied either, the last 10-minutes of the film will give all gore hounds a feverish smile for hours after viewing. Marcus Koch’s FX is impressive along with Doe’s restrained direction makes this film a menu you couldn’t possibly ignore, I’m sure Doe will deliver more abhorrent, tasteless yet tantalising features to come with his Vile Video Productions platform and if this is just a starter, then I’m ready for the (re)mains.
