10 Worst Practical Effects In Movie History

Night of the Lepus - a very, VERY loose adaptation of the novel Year of the Angry Rabbit - focused on the set piece of the book where giant rabbits attack and expanded it to a feature-length monster movie.

It does not take long to spot the main problem with this endeavor: bunnies are not scary. So how do you get around this little conundrum? Simple, you don't.

Oh, the film tries, with director William F. Claxton employing everything from camera tricks and use of props to make them appear larger, to slow-mo to make them look more menacing, and even splattering ketchup on their noses whenever they "kill" a character, to make audiences fear bunny rabbits.

What the film maybe didn't realise was that giant bunnies with little globs of ketchup on their noses are not a concept that inspires fear. If anything, it inspires "awwwwww", because - and this cannot be overstated enough - bunnies. Are. Not. Scary.

The film was a staple of late-night schlock movies, both in the drive-in, and on TV, and really, that's always been where a movie that thinks giant bunnies are scary belongs.
