Reception

Bloody Disgusting awarded the film a score of 2 / 4 stating, "The Bunny Game is a well shot and expertly edited work, but it’s not a film in the conventional sense. It’s more of a vicious visceral experience. Because of the style and the wholesale devotion of Getsic and Refro, The Bunny Game is captivating, but ultimately not an experience worth having".
