Cocaine Bear is easily one of the biggest trend setters in recent memory. The film was a surprise hit and one that I enjoyed on several occasions. Once news broke on the film it spawned several films following similar stories. I’ll be completely honest with you, I’m here for it. So far we’ve seen Cocaine Shark, Cocaine Werewolf, Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space, Methgator, Cocaine Roach, Cocaine Cougar, and I just received word last week that a comic/graphic novel called Cokeadile will be hitting Kickstarter next month.
One of these drug-fueled killer animal films that I’ve been extremely excited to see is Brad Twigg’s Crackcoon. Twigg has directed some of my favorite indie productions and I knew this one would be no exception. A few days back Brad reached out to me to review Crackcoon and I quickly said yes. Once again, I want to thank Brad for sending this one my way.
**Spoiler Alert** The film follows a group of twenty-somethings who venture out into the woods for a little drinking, drugging, and fornicating. However, things take a bleak turn when their plug is forced to toss a bag of orange crack into the woods when the local authorities pull them over. Before they can retrieve their stash a raccoon gets into it turning him into an evil crackcoon with an appetite for human flesh. **Spoiler Alert**
I know it seems like a lot but each of these films bring their own brand of humor and absurdity. Crackcoon has all the trademarks of a Fuzzy Monkey film. We have beautiful women baring it all, lots of blood and gore, and plenty of humor. I’d have to seriously reflect after binging the previous releases but I think this may be my favorite Fuzzy Monkey film to date.
The acting in this one is a bit uneven but very enjoyable for the most part. There was a few scenes that was dialogue heavy and it felt a bit forced but it didn’t take away from the overall film. This one features three of my favorite indie horror starlets in the game right now. We see Jessa Flux, Angel Nichole Bradford, and Morrigan Thompson do what they do best. They are amazing scream queens who are not afraid to bare it all. You have my full attention if you cast just one of these lovely ladies so seeing all three in one film was a dream come true.
The story for this one is exactly as you would expect and that is why it’s so much fun. The movie doesn’t try to do anything but entertain which it does very well. We follow a cracked out raccoon as he makes his way through the woods murdering gay drug dealers, adulterous women, hunters, and campers. It’s predictable but that is what makes it’s so much fun. It’s violent, sleazy, and extremely funny.
Finally, the film has a hilarious looking raccoon puppet that is a highlight of the film. We also get a lot of make-up effects and some solid looking gore. While I would have loved more gore, I’m very happy with the effects that we do get. Overall, Crackcoon is everything I wanted in a film about a cracked out raccoon. It’s so much fun and easily one of my favorite indie releases of the year. I highly recommend this absurd slice of sleazy pie. Check it out.
