Alright. There is an often overlooked HORROR CATEGORY which IS legit. Its the ANIMAL horror category. Be it a bizarrely intelligent animal, an animal of extraodinary WILL, unusual size, MODIFIED/MUTATED, or altered by supernatural means. I know EVERYONE (except maybe the new generation) loves JAWS but that one aside, what are your favorite or MOST favorite ANIMAL HORROR MOVIE. From CUJO to PROPHECY (the mutated bear one not the Angel one) there are MANY.
My first favs happen to be crocodile flicks.
LAKE PLACID has to be the most witty and well written of any animal horror. With ROGUE being the most underrated. ROGUES scenes with the hero in the crocs lair is mesmerizing and frightening unless youre a bullshitter.
Another fav of mine is DEEP BLUE SEA with the genetically engineered big brained, THINKING sharks.
I must admit I also enjoyed ANACONDA, NOOOOOO, not the lame Jennifer Lopez one, THE SEARCH FOR THE BLACK ORCHID which wasnt top notch (the one actress had an exaggerated western accent that she forgot about not even 1/4 of the way through the flick) but I liked it.
What are YOURS ?
Any others you think are underrated ?
Re: Whats YOURS
Couldnt think of the FEARnet movie and then it dawned on my dumbass. . . . . . DU'UH. . . . . . . . . ROTTWEILER.
Theres also DOGS, DAY OF THE ANIMALS, LUCKY, ATOMIC DOG, MANS BEST FRIEND, ZOLTAN HOUND OF DRACULA, DEVIL DOG HOUND OF HELL.
what's yours
Thanks HF it was.. kinda cheezy,but entertaining
@matt
Movie DEF looks dated, lol. MANS BEST FRIEND was entertaining in its time. Not sure if I could sit through it now. Cant believe how young the awesome LANCE HENRIKSON (watch him at his BEST in the GREAT biker movie, STONE COLD) and Ally Sheedy was.
LOL. . . . . . Ally Sheedy. . . . . . . damn I feel OLD. . . . . .
Re: Whats YOURS
Loved PROPHECY back in the day
Re: Whats YOURS
How about "Night of the Lepus" or "The Killer Shrews" good stuff
Re: Whats YOURS
@rat
LOL, I actually put up the vid trailer to KILLER SHREWS early on the discussion. They are doing a remake AND using the same actor from the original.
rotweiler
brian yuzna directed that robo dog thing .... not his finest hour! I like the killer pig films like chaw/razorback & pig hunt LOL! BLACK WATER & REEF ARE BRILLIANT ASWELL!
Re: Whats YOURS
Some of you already mentioned some that I would have on my list but I'll list them anyway:
'Cujo'
'Arachnophobia'-spiders are not insects. They are considered an invertebrate animal.
'Orca'
'The Birds'
'Jaws'
'Pet Sematary'-Some may not consider this an animal horror film but it starts with the family cat getting flattened on the road and the Dad ends up finally burying it in the indian burial ground to bring it back to life and it goes from there.
'Piranha'
horror animals
omg where to start.ive seen so many ,i would have to say werewolf.i like the way the specil effects work when a human is transforming especially in howling and werewolf in london.awesome
