Day of the Animals

1977 · 97 min

A scrappy, grimly entertaining creature-feature that pits squabbling hikers against a wilderness gone berserk, with a nasty human turn adding bite.

Tagline
A shocking vision of things to come...
Overview
The depletion of the earth's ozone layer causes animals above the altitude of 5000 feet to run amok, which is very unfortunate for a group of hikers who get dropped off up there by helicopter just before the quarantine is announced.
