There's little to recommend this drab novelty horror.
In the desert, scientists Whitman and Leigh try to curb an out-of-control rabbit population by injecting a lab specimen with a hormone-altering serum.
But the bugger escapes into the wild and experiences an unexpected side effect: he grows to ginormous size and becomes a ferocious killer!
It's not long before there's an entire battalion of murderous, oversized rabbits prowling the mesas.
What shoulda be an enjoyable hoot to watch - full of laughs and oddball touches - is instead a spiritless exercise in fatigue.
The players seem uninspired (especially Kelley, Leigh) and there's no tension to be found anywhere.
There's plenty of fake blood on display, and the rabbit paw-swipes warrant a giggle here & there. But this colorless project just drags on and on...
Leigh tries to add some fire with her 'standoff scene' against the furry bunnies, but it just doesn't cut it.
