One thing we didn't get in 1950's sci-fi movies was giant rabbits. This movie from 1972 certainly makes up for that. I quite liked watching this.
A Rabbit that has been injected with hormones and mutated blood escapes from a laboratory and grows into a giant and others soon follow. They start to go on the rampage and eat people, horses and cattle. The military are called in and a stretch of railway line is electrified to toast them to death when they cross it. This succeeds and everything can return to normal.
Despite this being his type of movie, Bert I Gordon had nothing to do with this.
The movie has a good cast: Janet Leigh (Psycho, The Fog), Stuart Whitman (Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines), DeForest Kelley (Star Trek), Western star Rory Calhoun and Paul Fix.
Night Of the Lepus is a must see for sci-fi/horror fans. Great fun.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
