Apparently there is a situation with too rabbits in Arizona so they decide to transgender the rabbits with some hormones to keep them from being as fertile (instead of calling it open rabbit season in a place where everyone seems to own a shotgun anyway). The scientist injecting the rabbits even admits that he's not sure what the results will be so that bodes well for the experiment. Then his stupid daughter decides to switch up a control and experimental group rabbit because one was her favorite. They let her keep it and she immediately loses it in the wild. From there we get exponentially-increasing-in-size rabbits that are out for blood. They are more determined to just make everything bloody and occasionally dismember than they are to eat, but we mostly just get a lot of slow motion shots of them running through unconvincing miniature sets. At one point we do get a man in a suit, but it was pretty briefly lived. The movie does start to drag, but at least they never stop being cute and they never look menacing no matter how many under the snout shots and growling noises they try. The humans eventually set up an elaborate plan to electrocute them all on some trains tracks that works.
This movie is good for a few laughs from it's pretty poor effects but ultimately it feels like a 50s horror film in the way it drags and the way in lacks any irony. Camp would have really improved the movie in this case for inexplicably, they tried to ground it somewhat in reality. A giant, fluffy murderous reality.
