Day of the Animals (1977)

Description

Scientist warn that the depletion of the earth's ozone layer is reaching critical levels, particularly in higher altitudes. How critical? Enough to unleash the vengeful wrath of the entire animal kingdom! No human is safe, particularly a group of nature-loving hikers (including Christopher George and Lyndia Day George) who are constantly menaced by every conceivable mountain-dwelling creature. Dogs, rats, snakes, hawks, owls, mountain lions and bears are out to send a clear message about chlorofluorocarbon abuse. But perhaps the angriest animal of them all is Leslie Nielsen (The NAKED GUN Series, FORBIDDEN PLANET) who, fed up with his lily-livered companions, takes matters into his own hands. Director William Girdler follows up his 1976 hit film GRIZZLY, with this insane, eco-sensitive, nature-runs-amok thrill-ride.
