About Night of the Lepus
Rancher Cole Hillman is fed up of rabbits plaguing his fields. Zoologist Roy Bennett conducts an experiment to curb their population, but it gives rise to giant rabbits that terrorise the town.
Directed by William F. Claxton, Night of the Lepus leans on a strong ensemble — Stuart Whitman, Janet Leigh, Rory Calhoun — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1972.
