Night of the Lepus (1972)

- written March 8th, 2011

Summary: Cole Hillman's Arizona ranch is plagued with pesky rabbits, and he wants to do something about it. As a favor to Hillman, local College President Clark calls in a zoologist to help. They begin injecting rabbits with hormones in an effort to disrupt rabbit reproduction. But one of the test subjects escapes, and this cause all the nearby rabbit population to attack and kill everyone in their path.           Overall: It was fun watching “Kingdom of the Spiders” with William Shatner and immediately following that film, with this film, co-starring Deforest Kelley! The film is beyond silly and just another wanna-be “Food of the Gods.” It’s all about normal rabbits, blown up on the screen to look bigger than they are. Given what do we see, I’d be shocked that “none of the animals were hurt during the production of this film.” Um….yeah right! Too silly to be watchable.           Comparison: Food of the Gods meets Honey I Blew Up the Kids
