Will G @Kingofthepixies Apr 28 So unintentionally funny it's awesome. No gun in bear country, no walkie talkies and my favourite gripe, throwing their water bottles away. How do they carry water if they find it? In their pockets? . Leslie neilson stripped to the waist wrestling a bear to the death. Awesome, absolutely awesome.

See more Chad G 07/18/2023 Okay, the plot here is ridiculous, but it somehow works. Animals above a certain elevation turn violent due to the depletion of the ozone brought on by the excessive use of aerosols. It really is a hidden gem in thd animals-gone-wild subgenre if horror. While it doesn't offer anythingground breaking, the film is an enjoyable campy experience. Set in a world where ultraviolet radiation is causing animals at higher elevations to go psychotic, a group of hikers come under attack from various species while in the mountains. Some of the suspenseful sequences and animal attacks are done very well, and the setting in the wilderness really enhances the feelings of isolation and vulnerability. There are surprisingly several notable actors in this, like Christopher George and Leslie Nielsen, and the film benefits from having them, particularly Nielsen, who gives a truly psychotic performance. However, the movie goes all in on the campiness, which may not may not be for everyone. Also, it is full of cheesy dialogue, poor effects, and some over-the-top acting. It also is lacking in character development at times. Regardless, Day of the Animals is sure to be an entertaining watch for any fan of 1970s creature features. The unique way it blames ozone depletion, brought on by excessive aerosol use, for the animals attacking feels somewhat new, making it more than a simple animal rampage flick. If you're looking for a fun, campy horror film that doesn't take itself too seriously, this film is for you. Everyone needs to see Leslie Nielsen shirtless declaring war on God at least once in their life.

The animal attack scenes aren't very convincing and with not much of a story there isn't much to go on here. See more 02/11/2022 This is definitely not a horror film for horror fans. See more 03/18/2019 Leslie Nielsen playing a bombastic racist? Surely you must be kidding! Sadly, I'm not, and don't call me hot shot, kemo sahbee. The movie is so poorly put together and so casually offensive, it would make even the most humane critic go "woof"---which I guess means that every dog doesn't have its day.
