Night of the Lepus

1972 · 88 min

A silly, slow creature feature where ordinary bunnies are meant to be terrifying, so it plays as unintentional comedy.

Tagline: How many eyes does horror have?
Overview: Rancher Cole Hillman is fed up with rabbits plaguing his fields. Zoologist Roy Bennett conducts an experiment to curb their population, but it gives rise to giant rabbits that terrorize the town.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, tense and dark. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Survival, science, nature, violence
Content: Mild violence and gore. No sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
