If I Could Make a Movie That's All Mine...

"Monty, we need to have a talk. Is this why you were wandering around in a warehouse when Jessie found you? Oh, that's a naughty bunny... a naughty KILLER bunny!"

I found this trailer online for NIGHT OF THE LEPUS and I thought it was just a funny way of saying leopards, like "I'm gonna catch me some lepus" in a southern bayou accent. Like alligatuhs. Anyway, it's TOTALLY NOT! It's about mutant rabbits that attack people, instilling fear of rabbits in the quaint people-of-1970's-America.

Lepus = hare = rabbit = bun bun.

This is netflix's description of the movie: "Fed up with the bunnies hopping across their land, a group of ranchers (including Janet Leigh and DeForest Kelley) attempts to stunt the rabbits' growth with the aid of a cooked-up hormone. But instead of shrinking the bunny population, it only makes the animals larger -- 150 pounds larger, to be exact -- with a newfound appetite for human flesh. Are the ranchers any match for the rabid rabbits' reproductive skills?"

I don't think it's necessary to say that this movie is already in my netflix queue at the tippy top.

Ok, wait, I found more clips.

I'm actually in tears after this one, it's THAT good! I think I'm in love...

I especially like the effect of lower a rabbit down on top of the camera. After all, these are supposed to be the size of a house!
