Night Of The Lepus

[AWP82]

Last time I checked, Arrow hadn't reviewed it. Has anyone seen it, and if so, was it any good?

The blockbusters around me don't have it, but I saw it for sale last night at circuit city and was afraid to pick it up in case it sucks, so I thought I'd ask here first.

Here's an amazon link to some info about it. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000A0GOGE/qid%3D1133147619/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/102-5169813-8436128)

Yeah, its really bad. I put it on my X-mas list though because its a good addition to any collection. One of those its so bad its funny kind of films. The avg. price of $15 is kind of high. I dont think it cost $15 to make it. It is the only killer bunny movie I know of though.

If you enjoyed the following films you might like it:
Prophecy (the insideout bear movie)
Slaughter
Frogs
Food of the Gods

So bad it's good, huh? I guess that's a start...

Well...I gave in. I just blind bought it for $15 tonight, and finished watching it about an hour ago.

It was pretty good for your average early 70's schlock. It did what it set out to do and I appreciated that. The effects, although dated, were surprisingly good (and convincing) for their time. I take it they used miniatures for all the rabbit scenes, and the "attacks" were well done (via the editing) even though I could tell some of them were men in suits. The movie wasn't really scary per se, but it had its moments.

A good way to kill 90 minutes after a bong hit or two. :)

I'll give it a 6.5/10

I got it the other day for my B-day. Haven't watched it yet though.

This is the film about giant rabbits that eat people, right? I actually think the movie is quite good, especially the ridiculous plan they come up with to kill the bunnies at the end.

One of my guilty pleasures. It's fun to watch these 70s' flicks because everyone is so serious. If they remade this, no doubt it would be a comedy.

And AWP, they did use miniatures for the scenes of the giant bunnies running through the town.

Holy Shit! I saw this movies years ago when I was younger! I always wondered what the name of the giant killer bunny movie was. Imight just check this out again to rekindle my earliar years.

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't even think CGI existed back then.

Another thing that stands out about those scenes (at least for me) is the weird music. Well, maybe not music, but more like a "bassline" or something. It's hard to describe but I'm sure anyone who's seen the movie knows what I'm talking about. Something about it is so addictive. :D Maybe I'm just weird.
