Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Cole Hillman's Arizona ranch is plagued with 'mongrel' rabbits, and he wants to employ an ecologically sound control method. As a favor to college benefactor Hillman, college president Elgin Clark calls in zoologist Roy Bennett to help. Bennett immediately begins injecting rabbits with hormones and genetically mutated blood in an effort to develop a method of disrupting rabbit reproduction. One of the test subjects escapes, resulting in a race of bloodthirsty, wolf-sized, man-, horse-, and cow-eating bunnies. Eventually the National Guard is called in for a final showdown with the terrorizing rabbits. Written by Jeff Hole <jeffhole@aol.com>

The Ajo Drive-In is used as the Miracle Drive-In in the movie, but the Miracle Drive-In sign in Tucson is shown in the film. See more »Goofs
At about 42 minutes in when the pack of rabbits is chasing the pickup truck back to the ranch, you can see an animal wrangler in the background in a white t-shirt herding the rabbits. Maybe he was actually a giant and they were preparing for a sequel, "Hominum". See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone who has ever worked with animals knows how difficult it can be "Rabbits" was a very difficult film to do> WE worked in tremendous heat conditions and had hundreds of rabbits to deal with It was a fun film for the trainers I think because no one has done a horror film before with rabbits> Take the silly stuff away and its a fun film.
