Back of the box:
A group of hikers sets out on a survival mission in California's Sierras
unaware that scientists are about to issue a warning stating that ozone
depletion is causing wild upsets in animal behavior -- especially in areas at
high altitude. As the animal population gathers slowly around them, the
hikers are about to learn exactly what a survival mission entails in this film
starring Leslie Nielson, Christopher George and Lynda Day George.

The Bloody Truth:
Perhaps one day global warming will become such a problem that animals
will begin to get angry and start coming up with schemes to destroy us.
Certainly the director, William Girdler, believed that was true in 1977, back
when we had just realized polluting the air could be a problem.
The truth is that while Day of the Animals has its creepy moments and
Girdler's simple idea of the unfiltered sun driving humans and animals
crazy does strike a meaningful chord the film can't seem to escape its
dated effects and paper thin plot line. Not good enough to be good not
bad enough to be great you will need to judge this one for yourself.
Watch out for the rats!
