Wow. That was awesomely bad. It reminded me of the Don't trailer, in that it never really tells you what the fuck it's about.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well...it could be bunnies.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
it never really tells you what the fuck it's about.
Well, see, if it did, you would die laughing and thus never actually cough up the money to buy a ticket.
The actual movie is just... just... Lots of shots of people screaming, running, flailing, bleeding, intercut with shots of actual bunny rabbits lolloping around miniature sets, blinking and stamping their feet and behaving in a generally rabbity fashion. Terrifying to Anya, but probably not to a single other soul on the face of the planet.
There's another mutant-fuzzy-animal horror movie, whose name I'm too lazy to Google but it might be something like Hiss!, that's about a band of very angry feral cats and that suffers from the same inability to make its monsters credibly terrifying. The cats mostly loll about sleeping, as cats mostly do, and occasionally puff themselves up and hiss ineffectually, as cats occasionally do, and there's one shot of a cat attacking one of the hapless heroes in which I swear you can see the shadow of the animal handler throwing the cat through the air because the damn thing was too lazy to pounce on command.
And now I'm talking myself into big love for a mutant killer passenger pigeon movie. Though possibly mutant killer dodos would be even better.

Thrive to spite them
I love Night of the Lepus.
I can say quite honestly it's one of my favorite movies. I wish it had made it's way on to MST3K, because I can only imagine the fun Crow, Tom Servo, and Joel would have had with it. You should watch it on Easter. It also has DeForrest Kelly.
On the other hand THEM! is a great giant radioactive mutant animal movie and does a much better job with the suspense. Leonard Nimoy has a small uncredited role.

I agree, askye! It was pretty good.

Hey. New board.
In terms of non-scary-mutant movies, I'm a big fan of "Attack of the Killer Shrews." The giant shrews are adorable puppies with cardboard noses!

Have you seen Night of the Lepus?
Dude, do not mock Night of the Lepus. It is a classic. Classic what, I'm not sure, but I'm very fond of it. I suspect it is part of the Evil Bunny Alliance's plan to lull everyone into complacency regarding bunnies, so that no one will be able to resist when Clovis finally takes over the world.

It also has DeForrest Kelly.
And Janet Leigh! She eventually did learn to avoid cheap motels.

I kind of want to know what cause the night of the lepus. But I just want them to tell me, I don't want to watch the movie.
