An object lesson in the difference between taking a silly premise seriously and treating a silly premise with undue gravity. Once you know the basic premise and get that disbelieving chuckle out of the way, you've had just about all the fun you're going to have. Though the wonder of DeForest Kelley's enormous '70s 'stache can't go unmentioned.

Man intervenes in the natural order of things, and as usual, pays for it, this time via a horde of killer… rabbits.

Obviously I watched this hoping it would be hilariously bad. I ended up being surprised at how competent this movie was in most ways. The acting is fine, the dialogue isn’t terrible, and even the low-tech special effects are effective half the time. The trouble is, no one wants a movie about killer bunnies to be competent. The story is told in a weirdly efficient, matter-of-fact way, but the premise dooms the movie to failure. The natural reaction when hearing the phrase “giant killer rabbits” is to smile, not tremble with fear. Therein lies this film’s fatal flaw.

So-bad-it's-good rating: two and a half stars

Some effective forced perspective photography and impressive miniature sets work very well together to give a real impression of size to the killer rabbits, but the plodding story and lifeless characters make this a chore to watch.

Worth watching only to see a man in a rabbit suit wrestle a horse to the ground.

All the grim seriousness of 70's eco-horror runs smack dab into giant monster bunny rabbit silliness. The miniatures looks nice but shot with normal sized rabbits in slow motion is less than convincing. Still there's something very endearing about how straight everyone plays it.

A movie about rabbits growing to giant size, turning carnivorous and running amock in large numbers... Np, of course it's not a good movie! But it is as funny as it sounds!

Super cheesy food of the gods knock off. Great background noise movie

το WATERSHIP DOWN σε live action.

Crazy giant killer rabbit movie that is much gorier than I remember it being. Lots of blood and real rabbits splattered with grue attack humans. Weird optical and miniatures add to the silly fun.
