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.
Leave your thoughts about Night of the Lepus.
| Entertainment WeeklyDalton RossSome may call Night of the Lepus plain ridiculous, but I say any movie that features mutant bunnies being shot, blowtorched, and electrocuted makes for a hopping good time. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzWell worth watching for those enamored by bad films that are unintentionally funny. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonIt's hard to take anything seriously after a rancher (50-year-old Rory Calhoun) describes the pair (44-year-old Stuart Whitman and 45-year-old Janet Leigh) as "that young couple." |
| Battleship PretensionDavid BaxIt's not bad enough to be funny but it's ridiculous enough in its very existence that maybe it would have been better if it had actually tried to be comedic. Which serves as a reminder, should you need it, that Tremors is pretty much a perfect movie. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonWilliam F. Claxton’s film is a radically dull riff on the nature-run-amok genre, utilizing what must’ve felt at the time like the only animal not yet exploited to scare audiences. But scares are exactly what the filmmakers didn’t get. |
| New York TimesRoger GreenspunThe film relies almost entirely on slow-motion shots of ordinary rabbits running through miniaturized settings or in front of scaled-down back projections. It is this technical laziness as much as the stupid story or the dumb direction that leaves the film in limbo and places it in neither one camp nor the other. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioThe only thing more lifeless than the corpses in Night of the Lepus is the movie itself. |
| Time OutBob BakerImpossible not to admire the total withholding of irony in Claxton's approach to this kamikaze project. |
| User ReviewYay-yay NThis is definetly the best giant killer bunny movie ever made! |
| User ReviewKurt MOne of the best B movies of all time. Ever. |
