Day of the Animals

(1976)

Animals go crazy and kill people because of a hole in the ozone layer, but it only happens at high altitudes because they're closer to the sun (that's fucking stupid, but whatever). Most of the movie is about a typical group of fucks on a nature hike. There's a bitchy woman, a kid, a lady reporter, a really crappy scientist (he says; "One hundred fifty-five million years ago there were no animals, just insects and reptiles..."), Leslie Neilson, and of course an Indian. Leslie Neilson is the best- he keeps calling the hero "hot shot" (for some reason this really pisses the hero off), then he goes nuts, impales a guy, tries to rape the guy's girlfriend, and finally buys it when tries to fight a bear with his bare hands. After a wolf mauls one chick, another chick goes; "She's so pretty. I hope she isn't scarred for life." Way to show sympathy, bitch. Other people get knocked off a cliff by birds, bitten by snakes, jumped on by rats, and attacked by dogs (this part reminded me of The Killer Shrews). Everyone always says this movie sucks, but frankly I thought it was pretty good.
