4.0 out of 5 stars"I don't know what I'm doing here anyway, I should be in Beverly Hills where any civilised person would be."
By West25 on 25 July 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A group of mountain hikers head up into the Californian mountains lead by Steve Buckner, despite a warning from Ranger Tucker that all kinds of "accidents" have been happening in the last week or so. Not long after the helicopters have dropped the group off, it becomes clear that something isn't right, several big birds that normally stay away from humans are showing a lot of bravery and a bad temper. The group try to ignore it and set up camp, but one of them is attacked during the night by a wolf. Realising they're in serious danger, the group attempt to get down the mountain to safety. The problem is, the wolves, birds, bears, lions, snakes, dogs and other animals have no intention of letting the group leave, and it's not just the animals that are causing trouble, an unhinged ad executive goes completely nuts. The reason for the animals strange behaviour is explained at the beginning of the film, some preachy message about aerosol cans and the Ozone layer.

Christopher George is good as Buckner, he was never the greatest actor but he had two things, he was likeable and he was fun to watch. George did some really decent work from the mid '60s to the late '70s, but it's his early '80s work that I'm most familiar with and love. City of the Living Dead, The Exterminator, Graduation Day, Enter the Ninja, Pieces and Mortuary, all great for various reasons. Sadly he passed away aged just 52 in 1983. Christopher George's wife, Linda Day George stars as a news reporter and potential love interest for Buckner. She's pretty good as well, and this was one of many films she made with her husband.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsMy first summer in the Sierra
By Ashtar Command on 20 May 2013
Format: DVD
Tired of horror flicks with only *one* kind of monster? Don't worry, "Day of the Animals" to the rescue! This unrealistic story features lethal attacks on humans by essentially everything. Eagles, vultures, wolves, bears, cougars, Alsatians, rats, rattlesnakes, tarantulas, Leslie Nielsen...all of nature plus our most cherished household pets and even a human (Nielsen, remember?) are running bezerk in this classical disaster movie from 1977.

The backdrop to the story is the fear of ozone depletion, the "global warming issue" of the 1970's. "Day of the Animals" features a group of rookies on a hike in the high hills of California, just when ozone depletion drives all beasts crazy at elevations above 5000 feet. Accosted by eagles, wolves and other wild animals, the inexperienced hikers must somehow get back to civilization. Unfortunately, all human settlements along the trail have already been abandoned and taken over by marauding gangs of Animalia...

John Muir famously said that if a war broke out between humans and beasts, he would side with the latter. I suppose this might have been one of Muir's favourite movies, had he somehow lived to see it. I can't say "Day of the Animals" is a *really* good movie, but it works well alongside other disaster movies of the "nature gone wild" type. Besides, I have a soft spot for its philosophical message (if that's the word for it).

I therefore very graciously award it four stars.

5.0 out of 5 starsI remember Christopher George and William Girdler!!!!
By jman jr on 31 Aug. 2010
Format: DVD
Love this film...
The plot is implausable now - But in 70's anything goes.
My rating is- I admit is due in part to nostalgia.
It's pretty cheesey stuff - unless you still have a 7 year old childs eyes to watch it with!!!

Leslie Nielson gives a wonderfully over the top performance playing a bad guy!!!
The animals are brilliant and Christopher George is great as ever ...
he is in a number of films I like ...
the Exterminator, Pieces, City of the living dead and Grizzly which was made the previous year with the same director William Girdler.
Grizzly is probably better rememberd today- Tho If you like one your very likely to enjoy both.

The print is above average and the disc has some extras as well inc. interviews with some of the cast.

It was real nice to hear Bill Girdler being so warmly remembered.
(Only made 9 films)

If you enjoy 70's movies of a similar style - I would highly recommend this to you.
Very enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 starsDay Of The Animals Region Free Blu ray review from Scorpion Releasing
By Mr. E. A. Williamson on 29 Dec. 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Thanks by no small part to a certain killer shark movie from 1975 directed by a then pretty much unknown Steven Spielberg the rampaging killer beastie flick which chomped and clawed its way through 70s and early 80s horror cinema was born. Whether it be giant grizzly bears, sewer dwelling aligators, flesh stripping piranahs, swarming bees or the humble family dog the nature runs amok sub genre enjoyed a decent run often combining the look, feel and atmosphere of an Irwin Allen disater flick within their B movie credentials. It did seen inevitable that along the way someone would produce an all creatures attack hall of fame picture featuring a multitude of disgruntled critters including everything from mountain lions and bears through to raptors and rattlers and the results can be seen here in the 1977 helmed Day Of The Animals.
Directed by William Girdler who had previously given us the trash classic Grizzly a year earlier which itself was often dubbed 'Jaws with claws' because of its obvious nod to Spielberg's big fish movie but with a giant grizzy bear taking centre stage, in its credit Day Of The Animals featured expansive scope Tod-AO photography a kind of ensemble cast and some suprisingly brutal animal attacks all held together by a strong environmental message.
Definatly the kind of movie that just doesent get made anymore, Day Of The Animals remains an interesting entry in the nature runs amok cycle despite being totally illogical and ever so slightly silly.
The hardly geologically correct storyline concerns the depletion of the ozone layer through the over use of fluorocarbons(a science disclaimer before the film starts claims aerosols to be the main cause).Read more ›
