To all of you who like nothing better than to nuke some corn dim the lights and settle in with cinematic mutations like gargantuan 'gators fearsome frogs awesome ants and monstrous moths we quote this film: "Ladies and gentlemen attention! There is a herd of killer rabbits headed this way!" A hormone intended to alter the breeding cycle of rabbits overrunning ranchlands instead turns them into flesh-eating 150-pound monsters in Night of the Lepus. Stuart Whitman Janet Leigh Rory Calhoun and DeForest Kelley are among the intrepid humans facing the behemoth bunnies. They use guns flames and dynamite to subtract them. But the rampaging rabbits know how to multiply. Can anything stop these hare-y scary monsters?Running Time: 88 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR UPC: 012569675971 Amazon.com: Whoever persuaded MGM to make a movie about giant, bloodthirsty bunnies must have been some kind of mad genius. Night of the Lepus features Stuart Whitman (star of such classics as Omega Cop and Demonoid, Messenger of Death) and Janet Leigh (whose career had taken a downturn from Psycho) as a pair of scientists who say things like "I wish I knew what the effects of this serum would be--let's hope it works" as they inject test rabbits with hormones that turn them into slavering, carnivorous giant bunnies. That's the plot; the rest of the movie is scenes of giant bunnies attacking horses, giant bunnies jumping through windows to attack people, giant bunnies running in herds down the freeway...lots and lots of giant bunnies, sometimes with blood smeared across their ferocious jaws as they rear up to attack. The special effects are breathtakingly cheap; the bloody corpses are actors with red syrup splashed over them. But what makes Night of the Lepus even more astonishing is that the dvd features dubbing in French, presumably for European viewers bored with their usual diet of Truffaut and Rohmer. In fact, the movie makes more sense in French (assuming you don't actually speak the language); you can pretend it was created by an inspired Surrealist, and that Janet Leigh says things like "My bicycle has wheels of cheese" or "Beauty kisses my savage earlobe," instead of "Rabbits aren't exactly Roy's bag." Also starring Rory Calhoun (Roller Blade Warriors: Taken by Force) and DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy on the original Star Trek), who wears several colorful turtlenecks. A camp classic. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating: - These Rabbits Are Hopping MadFigured I'd might as well put in my two cents on the terrifying Night of the Lepus. The "Nature Strikes Back" subgenre of the 70s is one of the most entertaining in all of horror. It's almost never scary(Jaws being the exception to this), but it's so much damn fun. Night of the Lepus is one of those that almost every horror fan is aware of and is usually the punchline of a lot of jokes. Though it's always joked about, I think for the most part the movie is well liked. As you already know, it ... Read More Rating: - Bugs Bunny has gone insane. More like Bugs Bunny on crackJust when I've thought that I have seen it all I come across Night of the Lepus, which features hordes of killer rabbits. Yes you read that correctly killer rabbits. Movies like Night of the Lepus just wouldn't work with today's audience this is something that could only work in the pre-90s. I've seen movies with all types of killer animals, but I can't say I have ever seen anything to feature killer rabbits. The concept of the movie is just flat out silly, but it's actually played straight, ... Read More Rating: - Great Low Budget FilmOK maybe not so great. It is a funny movie if you like rabbits. Really sad at the end though. It is amusing how they did the camera work. Rating: - When Bunnies AttackI watched this on a whim and honestly was laughing out loud for much of it. Its campy and corny and the dialog is REALLY bad. All these together make this a really great movie. Watch it if you enjoy classic camp. One note, Lepus is the Latin genus for Hares NOT common domestic (European) rabbits like shown in the move. I guess Night of the Leporidae would have been an equally ridiculous title, but would have been more fitting. Rating:  - night of the lepusnight of the lepus is as good asi remembered as a child. i like the old scary movies because it is not all blood and guts. the rabbits are big and realestic. im really glad they put it on a dvd |
