Review of Day of the Animals (1977) by Luke B — 16 Jun 2011
Fun and face-palmingly brilliant killer monster nonsense. It was awesome to see so much use of real animals. I was also very surprised at who bought it and when, and in a film like this, sometimes who gets killed is the best part.
The characters all turn against each other, or splinter off into groups. It's also fun to see a mother and child relationship which isn't all cuddles and sunshine. Best of all though, is Nielsen, in a performance that shows him as a tough mans man.
He goes topless, he manhandles women, and he fights a fucking bear. That, my friends, was an unexpected performance.
