Horror Sci-Fi Thriller

4.0 / 10

Cole Hillman's Arizona ranch is plagued with 'mongrel' rabbits, and he wants to employ an ecologically sound control method. As a favor to college benefactor Hillman, college president Elgin Clark calls in zoologist Roy Bennett to help. Bennett immediately begins injecting rabbits with hormones and genetically mutated blood in an effort to develop a method of disrupting rabbit reproduction. One of the test subjects escapes, resulting in a race of bloodthirsty, wolf-sized, man-, horse-, and cow-eating bunnies. Eventually the National Guard is called in for a final showdown with the terrorizing rabbits.

I would love to see a ramrod straight, serious as hell remake of this movie. With the same effects used to portray the mutated rabbits in the old version- regular bunny rabbits filmed among miniatures. (No CG trickery, no making the bunnies look like scary monsters.) The gimmick to this remake would be to have the bunnies pose a real threat to humanity, but no one being able to realize it because they're sooooo CUTE. - @Wednesday, October 25, 2017 2:01 AM

Very clever marketing here, not letting the audience know that they would be going to see a killer bunny movie. I wonder how they felt when they realised what the had brought tickets to watch this film and realised it was just bunnies? - @Monday, October 16, 2017 12:32 PM
