Review

"This dumb B-film mad scientist and monster movie has giant carnivorous bunny rabbits terrorize the state of Arizona. William F. Claxton ("Stage to Thunder Rock") directs without realizing the bunnies are more cute than frightening... [it has] attained a legendary reputation as a genuine Golden Turkey. It's an honor it richly deserves. Though, if not taken seriously, it's well worth watching for those enamored by bad films that are unintentionally funny and try to give sincere lectures on subjects they don't really have a feel for. In order words, I found it watchable for all the wrong reasons." - Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
