Bristol Bad Film Club: Night of the Lepus

Director
William F. Claxton
Certificate
18
Running Time
88 mins

We all know what happens when foolish, arrogant Homo sapiens starts meddling with Mother Nature, right? So when a bunch of boffins in Arizona  pump cute little bunny rabbits full of hormones, it’s only a matter of time before they mutate into enormous carnivorous killers. Thrill as ordinary buns rampage cutely through model villages! Larf as you spot Psycho‘s Janet Leigh and Bones from Star Trek (DeForest Kelly, for it is he) pretending to be terrorised!

This cult 1972 horror flick set itself an enormous challenge in attempting to make these lovable herbivores scary. That it fails so miserably makes it even more fun. Profits from Bristol Bad Film Club‘s annual outdoor screening will be shared between Windmill Hill City Farm and Holly Hedge animal sanctuary. Advance tickets, price £5, are available here.
