The ultimate animals run amok horror film! My love for this movie has grown exponentially over the years. It’s basically a cheesy 70’s disaster movie but with animals instead of earthquakes or bomb laced roller coasters. A shirtless Leslie Nielsen attacks a bear with his…
Tony the TerrorApr 3, 2024In the wake of the gargantuan success of Jaws, studios and production companies decided it was only fair they try to make their millions on cash-grab film efforts aiming to reproduce the results of the box office phenomenon. Generally described as “nature runs amok” films,…

Oh my god, this movie has a bare-chested Leslie Nielsen wrestling an actual bear. I think I died and went to cheesy movie heaven.
Cinema_StrikesApr 7, 2025What hell hath Aqua Net spawned!? Ripped from the headlines, speculative disaster flick that explores the consequences of mankind’s use of aerosol products and the resulting depletion of the ozone layer; but we're not delving into increases in skin cancer and cataracts risk…
tromafiendSep 21, 2024A forest full of animals gone mad from ozone radiation - everything from rats and snakes to wolves and bears - and somehow the scariest things in the woods are the birds and Leslie Nielsen.

Leslie Nielsen's work with Zucker, Abrams, and Zucker casts a long shadow over his earlier dramatic work. Even when he's killing dudes on a mountain with his shirt off I'm laughing. This is probably not "fair" to this movie but so be it. There are calves out there born with…
Branson ReeseJan 20, 2025A glorious Nature VS Man film from the 70’s. Leslie Nielsen fights a grizzly bear bare chested! This is a must see for any fan of 70’s B horror movies. Also starring Lynda Day George and her husband Christopher. Loved this as a teenager and still love it 48 years later.
mike5577May 8, 2026Day of the animals have animals running amok, Leslie Nielsen fighting a bear and a dire warning about global warming I'm sure we will listen to this time. So it's a tense and fun creature feature. Day of the animals is kind of like the happening but good. It also has…

- Arsal is "meh" onDay of the Animals
The idea of animals revolting because of pollution is fun in theory, but the movie is pretty meh. Characters lack depth, though the wilderness setting keeps things engaging. Honestly, the movie’s execution makes the humans less sympathetic than the animals.
