As a special Easter article, FilmInFocus puts together a list of the best and weirdest films involving our floppy-eared friends.
Slide 3: The Nasty Rabbit (1964)
This mid-60s sci-fi seems like a hangover from the B-movie paranoia of the previous decade, though the ridiculous plot suggests that maybe some hippie-era psychedelics were involving in the scriptwriting process. The premise is as follows: a Russian spy infiltrates the U.S. and plans to bring down the Land of the Free by releasing rabbits infected with a deadly bacteria. Considered one of the nadirs of American filmmaking, The Nasty Rabbit nevertheless has a number of rather fun aspects for the keen cinephile, who should keep his eyes peeled for Richard Kiel (aka 7-foot Bond villain Jaws) as a dwarf-wrangling ranch hand, the late great cinematographer László Kovács playing a rabbit-hungry halfwit, and the camerawork of Kovács’ great friend Vilmos Zsigmond.
