Night of the Lepus (1972)
Member Rating:  
Giant Flesh-Eating Rabbits Ravage American Southwest After Scientist Slips Up! Such is the plot of this unintentionally campy horror outing. The trouble begins when a researcher's experiment to use hormone injections to control Arizona's burgeoning rabbit population goes terribly awry, causing the cuddly rodents to grow to enormous proportions. In order to facilitate their growth, the rabbits need extra protein, and what better source than the relatively slow-moving human population that surrounds their huge subterranean lairs? ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

This movie was a pile of garbage, but at the same time it was amazing. Think of it as a zombie movie sans zombies. Just replace the zombies with rabbits, add in Bones from Star Trek, maybe throw in a bottle of wine, and you have yourself a fun night of movie watching. If you are a fan of MST3K style cheese this movie is perfect for you. Don't pass it up.

This movie is a classic. It is a MUST SEE. But not because its a great horror movie. Its a horrible horror movie! Its kind of like the Napolian Dynamite of horror movies. When it is over, you ask yourself, "What was that?" It is not meant to be funny, but it is. Instead of horror music when the rabbits attack, the soundtrack is like trumpet celebration music. My favorite line of the movie is when the deputy announces on a bull horn: ATTENTION! A herd of giant killer rabbits is heading our way! I thought I was going to roll off the sofa onto the floor laughing. This is entertaining, well, sort of reverse entertaining!

Saw this movie when it first appeared on the theater screen, and I loved it! Wish blockbuster had it available to rent, worth watching with the kids. I did not think there was nothing on this movie that was questionable for children but then its been awhile since I saw it. Now at days, these older movies is nothing compared to the movies they show today!

Yeah man, This is an amazing movie! Classic of the time and for the genre. Attack of the Giant Gila Monster etc. Actually scared me when I was 9 in 1973. Just shared it w/ my 12 yr. old son and wife. Laughed the whole time, great entertainment! Keepin' it !!

Totally cheesy but still worth watching. Takes the "giant monster" movie into a ridiculous direction. it's one of those movies that's so bad it's good.

This movie was AMAZING. I loved every second of it. YES, it is bad. Yes, it is cheesy. But it is about the BEST bad, cheesy, horrible, B, MST3K style movie that I have seen. Definitely worth the watch if you like, good/bad movies. It is the best of the worst. Lives up to every ounce of the hype. It was hilarious.
