Yes, it's that bad

Night of the Lepus is the only giant killer rabbit movie I know. As for other Easter horrors, there's the Z-grade "The Being", but The Being has some warped humor and gore, whereas Lepus has....humiliation of its cast.

Incredibly M-G-M put their name on this dismal bomb.. Employed at low points here are Stuart Whitman, Rory Calhoun, and the great Janet Leigh who is to commended for getting through this wearing the most sadistic 70s costumes her drunk costumer came up with. Seriously, Janet, a beautiful woman, is running around wearing pantsuits Judy Garland would not have donned even in Australia.

Optical effects are laughable. The giant bunnies are obviously blown up rabbits to mega-size, wearing ketchup on their furry little faces, looking confused (my guess is that they were drugged). They are never convincing or remotely scary, but do provide this turkey with much-needed camp.

Don't watch this sober.
