Reception

Critical reception for the film was mixed. 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 Renfro, The Bunny Game is captivating, but ultimately not an experience worth having".
Horror News.net gave the film a positive review, praising Rodleen Getsic's performance, and the film's editing.
The Bunny Game is listed at #37 in Complex magazine's 50 Most Disturbing Films of All Time and was banned in the United Kingdom by the British Board of Film Classification due to its graphic scenes of sexual and physical abuse. Lead actress Rodleen Getsic has explained that The Muppet Movie influenced the film.
