Night of the Lepus

When an experiment goes horribly awry, a herd of giant killer rabbits are sentgalloping across the globe in this gross-out horror movie from 1972. The technicaldetails of the plot, which involve a hor...( read more  read more... )mone designed to quash the rampant sexualproclivities of rabbits, are wisely dispensed with early on in order to allow therampant bunnies enough screen time to rip into their human persecutors. As the giantbeasts throw off the cute, loveable mantle they've worn for so long, a castincluding Janet Leigh (PSYCHO) and DeForest Kelley (Leonard "Bones" McCoy from STARTREK) attempts to fend them off.

    Help me! I'm being attacked by a giant killer...rabbit?!?! That's right. This is without a doubt one of the funniest of the giant mutant animal films to come out of the 70's. If you liked Empire of the Ants and Food of the Gods, this is a must-see.

    The only reason this gets any kind of decent rating is because I laughed my ass off through the whole movie. It's the Monty Python rabbit on steroids. Hilarious.

    Don't expect great production values. But do expect a good time watching this B-Movie.

    Giant mutant rabbits are terrorizing a town. They're just adorable. Especially the scenes where they use scale models and someone's pet rabbits.

    Once again, this is a good time.
