night of the lepus (1972)


"...attention! There is a herd of killer rabbits headed this way..."
An American ranch owner Cole Hillman (Rory Calhoun) owns land overrun by rabbits. He calls in zoologist Roy Bennett (Stuart Whitman) to help exterminate them humanly. But as Bennett's form of culling consists of pumping them full of hormones and genetically mutated blood, can it be a surprise when, instead of killing them off the rabbits become bloodthirsty, giant, man munching, killer bunnies.
This takes a while to get going, and actually never quite does, but its transplanting of the 50's giant mutant creature sci-fi genre into the 70's makes for a slightly comical B-movie classic anyway.
