What is the worst B-Movie about animals?

[The Burgomaster]

I'm not really talking about animals that get exposed to radiation or chemicals and turn into monsters. I'm more interested in animals that REMAIN as animals, but maybe they go crazy or get rabies or attack for some unknown reason. They don't mutate and grow horns or anything, they just kind of get into bad moods and attack people. I guess we could include insects and other living things too . . .

My suggestions are (and I'll keep this short because I want to hear everyone else's opinion):

CUJO

DAY OF THE ANIMALS

STRAYS (with Timothy Busfield!)

GRIZZLY

NIGHTWING (which was a very good book . . . I'm not sure what the HELL they were thinking about when they made the movie)

[Funk, E.]

Man's Best Friend
Night of the Lupis
Organ Grinders
Bats

[The Burgomaster]

Nice list, but I must disqualify NIGHT OF THE LEPUS because it involved giant bunnies. (On the other hand, MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL would qualify, because the bunny was small . . . but vicious).

[Funk, E.]

Ahhh. Mutant animals don't count. Got it. :-D

I don't think anyone will remember this one, but Dogs of Hell is one that sticks out for me.  I remember it was originally released in 3-D in the early 80s.  It's about some Rottweilers trained by the army to kill, who escape and terrorize a town.  Pretty cheap and crappy.

Kangaroo Jack

Jonathan Livingston Seagull . . .The seagulls remain seagulls, but the audience is attacked by poorly articulated feel-good philosophy.
The worms in Squirm remain worms, they just get angry at us because of electricity . . . .

For a more recent affair than most, I'd say Tail Sting. Do mutating scorpions fill the definition of animal?

I think this one was written by a Jr. High school kid on his lunch break.

How about the rattlesnakes in "Silent Predators", a made for T.V., killer animal movie

Well lets talk about the obvious bad movie with animals that was directed by Alan Smithee (yes I am mixing post topics. Muhahahahaha)  O um the movie was BIrds 2 Lands End  regular birds in a crappymovie.  

Oh and what about Monkey Shines even though that isn't really a bad movie per se.  And I liked it so I guess it isn't  the worst movie with animals in it.

Oh and does Congo count?  And what about Burial of the Rats.

okay I'll end my post because I'm out of ideas.

"Congo" was horrible, but if I were to pick only one, it would have to be "Slaughter," AKA "Dogs," basically a negative-budget canine version of "The Birds."  

David McCallum of "Man From UNCLE" stars as a smug, annoying ass (our hero), and everyone else is just buffet. Much is made of a secret experiment at the local university which might be causing all the dogs in town to go nutzoid, but that little subplot comes to nothing.

Night scenes are so underexposed as to be unwatchable. There is one shining moment, however: the movie's final shot is so funny you'll poop 'em. (I wish this board had a "spoiler" function so I could post it...)

  "White Dog". It's about a guy who's trying to deprogram a dog that's been trained to attack black people. It was probably a good premise, and the movie is sincere..but DAMN, it really sucks hard!

[Vermin Boy]

Haven't seen it, but wasn't there a horror movie called "Night of 1000 Cats?"

[Squishy]

"Night of a Thousand Cats?" Oh yes indeedy do. Directed by Rene Cardona Jr.--who just died about a week ago, actually--who also gave us "Guyana: Cult of the Damned," "The Bermuda Triangle," "Tintorera--Tiger Shark," and the infamous "Survive!" (directed by his father, also a B-movie legend).

I should also point out that the movie I pitched earlier, "Dogs," has a nice review over at "Unknown Movies."

I rather liked "Venom," but it seems almost everyone else on the face of the planet hates it.

[Squishy]

Oh yeah! Cardona Jr. also directed "Beaks--The Movie." Yeargh.
