Review of Day of the Animals (1977) by Tommy H — 25 Nov 2014
Nature runs amok and with style in this film that manages to pit the animals of the wild against every day humans without any use of CGI. This is all in camera, animal trained stuff. While I would have enjoyed a few more maulings and gore when dealing with a budget of 1 mil in the late 70s and trying to make a film open to a wider audience, you tend to leave the uber gore FX at home... that and they weren't exactly prevalent yet ;).
If you enjoy films like Ants or Grizzly, Day of the Animals is your cup of tea. Modern audiences may find it a bit slow and lacking but seeing Leslie Nielsen as a bad guy is always a good thing in my books.
