Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: It is this technical laziness as much as the stupid story or the dumb direction that leaves the film in limbo and places it in neither one camp nor the other - neither with Attack of the 50-Foot Woman nor with Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail.
Rotten: Impossible not to admire the total withholding of irony in Claxton's approach to this kamikaze project.
Rotten: Rabbits produce two things in obscene quanities: other rabbits and rabbit pellets.
Customer Reviews
Fudd's worst nightmare
A campy cult classic from the 70's. Psycho's Janet Leigh and a couple of Star Trek TOS alum show up for this chomp-feat. Featured in an episode of "Everybody Hates Chris", where Chris's dad tries to hide his fear of rabbits.
What’s a Lepus?
I saw this movie in the theater when it was first released and I loved it. OK, I was twelve. And I had no idea what a Lepus was. If you’re twelve and like campy retro horror you’re gonna love it. The Easter bunny will haunt your nightmares for the rest of your life.
