EW's GRADE

B-

Details Rated: PG; DVD Release Date: Oct 04, 2005; Genre: Horror; With: DeForest Kelley and Janet Leigh

It's not exactly ''Here's looking at you, kid,'' but when it comes to unforgettable movie quotes, a police officer announcing, in all seriousness, ''Ladies and gentlemen, reports from headquarters confirm that the horde of killer rabbits is getting closer to town'' has to be up there. That's right — killer rabbits! (Or, in many cases, just a guy in a really poorly made bunny suit.) Some may call Night of the Lepusplain ridiculous, but I say any movie that features mutant bunnies being shot, blowtorched, and electrocuted makes for a hopping good time. EXTRAS A bizarre trailer with an echo-heavy voice-over describing ''a night of total terror, more shattering than your strangest nightmare'' makes no mention that deadly rabbits are involved — perhaps for good reason.
