This is a true classic. It has such an absurd plot that you couldn't ever think of taking it remotely seriously.
Basically killer mutant rabbits go on the rampage. Or rather, harmless rabbits are photographed with miniatures or have their images enlarged and superimposed to look menacing.
And do they look menacing? Well.....no, not at all. They just look like a bunch of Watership Down wannabees out on a stroll.
What was DeForest Kelley thinking when he signed up to this. Or Janet Leigh for that matter. Just how did they get persuaded to star in this?
It's a classic. Watch it if you like really BAD films.
