If you consider yourself a horror film enthusiast, chances are you’ve already seen ‘Cocaine Bear’ earlier this year. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, this film made national headlines in February due to its unbelievable true story. While ‘Cocaine Bear’ weaves several side stories that could each be standalone films, it eventually focuses on a bear consuming a significant amount of cocaine – as the title implies. Critics generally praised the film, unsurprisingly labeling it as the most bizarre film of 2023 thus far. However, it seems that another film on the horizon, ‘Crackcoon,’ may be poised to take the ‘bizarre’ title away from ‘Cocaine Bear.’
The Bizarre World of ‘Crackcoon’
Teased on social media, ‘Crackcoon’ has already grabbed attention with its unconventional concept. Directed by Brad Twigg, this film revolves around a small town gripped by constant fear after the discovery of a flesh-eating raccoon. The official synopsis of the film provides a glimpse into the horror that unfolds:
“When a synthetically-altered street drug is discarded in the woods by a drug dealer during a car chase with the police, the fallout proves nothing less than horrific when an innocent raccoon eats it, transforming it into a nightmarish killing machine straight from the bowels of hell. With unsuspecting campers, tourists, and residents of a mountain community all in close proximity to the epicenter, no one is safe from the monster’s unrelenting rampage.”
The intensity of this storyline is undeniable.
