Night of the Lepus

Bare (although, in this case, hairy,) suffering. This is an attempt at a serious horror movie about "overgrown killer rabbits" with an A-list cast that completely crashes and burns at the fundamental level of the concept being too unwieldy, and the fact that even if they are two meters long, cute fluffy bunny rabbits are simply not able to scare anyone. If it was supposed to be a comedy, then it would be okay, but this is meant in all seriousness and the actors and crew behave accordingly - I have not seen such obviously disinterested and uncommitted performances for a long time. It seems that everyone knew how completely stupid the whole project would be, and did not have the slightest desire to be creative. Another thing is that Night of the Lepus lacks any kind of plot, if you can talk about the story here at all - watching a horde of rabbits stomping on a miniature model of a town makes you laugh at first, but then it just starts to get on your nerves. In the end, the final plan to solve the rabbit problem is just the icing on the cake for people who love bad ideas in movies. (08/05/2019)

The American film Night of the Lepus is already so much of a B-movie in its subject matter that it simply couldn't turn into something that would constitute truly great filmmaking. The filmmakers nevertheless managed to make a film that is simply good and watchable in its B-movie way. The scenes with the rabbits growing a little bigger are pretty well done, even if you can see the special effects side of what they were doing the whole time. (02/05/2019)
