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.
Still patiently waiting for
Black Sheep.
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.
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.
After reading about how Harrison Ford's multi-billion dollar box office career developed in the wake of Nick Nolte's refusals, I can see how the scary drunken mug shots came about.
How is it possible to consider Cate Blanchett and Jenna Elfman for the same role?!?
I kind of want to know what cause the night of the lepus-
It all starts with one radioactive bunny. There's a lab doing experiments out in the desert and someone brings their little girl in who sees the bunnies and feels bad about them and steals one and let's it go out in the desert.
This bunny then does what bunnies do best. Or at least most often. Thus this one bunny begats a adorable terrifying giant swarm of bunnies with a taste for blood. Human blood.
