Someone who wrote to me recently was complaining how bad the film NIGHT
OF THE LEPUS was.  I have a comment about that...

NIGHT OF THE LEPUS has an undeserved reputation for being really bad.
It is really only mediocre.  We have a tendency to think of rabbits as
little meek things and to find them cute so it is hard to think of them
as monsters.  YEAR OF THE ANGRY RABBIT, which I am told was quite
decent as a book, was not a good choice to be made into a film.  The
film was not THAT terrible, it just wasn't very good.  It was no worse
than, say, KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS, a similar film that got away without
all the notoriety that LEPUS got.  Some breeds of rabbit, I am told,
can be fierce fighters and large rabbits that fierce could easily be
dangerous.  It didn't help the film that some of the visualizations of
the rabbits looked like something out of Captain Kangaroo.
