April 24th, 2011: Night of the Lepus

Cast and Crew:  Janet Leigh, DeForest Kelley, Paul Fix, William Elliot

What It’s About: When biologist Roy Bennett’s (Stuart Whitman) daughter Amanda (Melanie Fullerton) accidentally releases an experimental rabbit on  rancher Cole Hillman’s (Rory Calhoun) rabbit-plagued land, the result is an army of enormous, carnivorous rabbits.  Can Roy find a way to stop them before it’s too late?

Why Watch it Today?: Today is Easter, so why not indulge in the pagan side of the holiday with a giant killer bunny rabbit film?  It staggers the mind that anyone ever thought that such a thing was a good idea, or remotely scary.

Where to Get It: Netflix (rental only) or Amazon
