Easter Bloody Easter (2024)

Jeanie swings a sword and decapitates the Jackalope, ending its terror, as the survivors rescue Lance and flee while rabbits swarm and kill others; days later at a funeral, a hint emerges of a new Jackalope among the townsfolk.

The chaos erupts at the Easter festival club where rabbits swarm inside, tearing into the mayor and his assistant, ripping them apart in a frenzy of teeth and blood as screams fill the air. Jackalope bursts in, slaughtering people one by one with slashing claws and horns, its massive furry body lunging through the crowd. Lance bolts outside to save the children, dashing into the night amid the pandemonium.

Jackalope captures Lance, dragging him deep into the dark forest to a rabbit nest hidden among twisted trees and burrows. Lance lies trapped in a pit, calling out desperately for help, his body battered and clothes torn.

Carol and Jeanie confront Mary Lou nearby, pointing fingers at her role in the escalating horror; Mary Lou collapses in devastated tears, insisting she never meant for events to spiral this way, her face streaked with mascara and regret.

Sam returns at that moment, reporting he has spotted Lance's location in the nest. Mary Lou pops open her car's trunk, revealing an arsenal of guns and weapons stacked inside, her hands steady as she arms the group.

They charge into the forest toward the nest, fighting through a horde of attacking rabbits that leap and bite ferociously. The rabbits overwhelm Sam, tearing into his flesh with relentless gnashing until he falls dead, blood pooling on the forest floor.

Carol battles a rabbit that clamps onto her wrist, biting deep into her skin; she fights back fiercely, smashing and killing the creature, clutching her bleeding wound as pain shoots through her arm.

Jeanie grabs Sam's sword from the ground, its blade gleaming in the moonlight, and charges at Jackalope, who towers over the group with antlers raised. She swings with full force, slicing clean through its neck in a massive spray of blood that squirts across her face and clothes; the Jackalope's head tumbles to the dirt, its reign of terror ended by decapitation.

The group rescues Lance from the pit, pulling his exhausted, injured form to safety and rushing him straight to the hospital where he receives urgent care.

Days pass, and the town stands nearly deserted, streets empty and buildings boarded up in the aftermath.

At church for Megan's funeral, Mary Lou stands before the sparse congregation and introduces Jeanie, who steps forward to read a solemn eulogy, her voice steady despite the bloodstains of battle still fresh in memory. The group sings a hymn about the town, voices echoing softly.

In a final quiet moment, one of Carol's kids crouches unnoticed, eating something gooey and sinister off the bottom of someone's foot, a slimy trail revealing the emergence of a new Jackalope in town.

Jeanie survives the final battle, decapitating Jackalope and later reading the eulogy at the funeral. Lance survives capture, rescued and hospitalized. Carol survives her rabbit bite on the wrist and attends the funeral with her family. Mary Lou survives, arming the group and introducing Jeanie at the funeral. Sam dies killed by the rabbit swarm in the forest. The mayor and his assistant die torn apart by rabbits at the club. Megan dies earlier, her mutilated body found before the finale. Eugene, revealed as the Jackalope when he dons an Easter Bunny costume and transforms, dies decapitated by Jeanie.
