Bad Horror Movie of the day: Night of the Lepus (1972)

In a town on the West of the United States, a giant terror arises. A result of scientific experimentation gone awry, these creatures have eaten the natural predators of the area and are now out of for human blood. They’re ferocious, they’re unstoppable! They’re… giant rabbits? Look! They’re hopping over fences! How cute!

No, wait, I meant…

No, I actually meant THAT. Uh...

Where to even start with the problems? The threat of this film is “giant” bunnies running through admittedly well-done miniatures towards the camera in slow motion. They’re not really given a makeover to look grotesque or fierce, other than poorly dubbing them over with feline growls and the occasional ketchup "bloodstain" in their mouths... but that’s it. The actors might do their damndest to pretend scared by the cuddly menace, but the actual attacks are poorly simulated through a mixture of puppets and the occasional fast cut to stuntmen in fur suits tackling the cast to their demise. It gets surprisingly gory, sure, but I don’t think going on about how THAT fails too will make you take this any less seriously than you already do, nor addressing the other forms of script stupidity.

In a nutshell, you know it's bad when a Monty Python skit does a better job making a rabbit look menacing.

Director William F. Claxton might have worked on The Twilight Zone, but his true calling was Western films and it SHOWS. With a mise en scène that feels less like a monster flick and more like Bonanza, while working with a premise out of a B movie from the 1950's that they somehow tried to play completely straight, it comes as a surprise to not a single soul on the planet this ill-conceived experiment of a horror movie was a disaster that even the original scream queen Janet Leigh was never gonna salvage.

Unless you have severe Leporiphobia, the only scary thing here is the overall quality of the end result. But boy, is it fun to riff on.
