Killer Animal Movies!
 

Hi everyone,

I couldn't seem to find a thread about killer animal movies (I'm sure there is one somewhere).

Anywho, what are some of the greatest Animal Attack movies of all time? Sure, there's the classics like Jaws and Piranha that most people will know of, but what are some of the best (or worst!) movies?


To get the ball rolling, the other day I managed to watch Shakma. An obscure gem - a slasher movie... with a killer baboon! It was great fun and one to watch if you're lucky enough to find a DVD of it. Great kills, one crazy ass ape and quiet a few stars (Roddy McDowell and Tina from Nightmare On Elm Street).


Love the trailer too - the voiceover guy lets it all out in the end...




Anyone else seen this one? :pop2:

I've seen a couple recently which i've briefly reviewed on the What Films Have You Seen? thread.

Monkey Shines. A decent Romero film with a really sweet Capuchin monkey that turns killer.

And Grizzly which is basically Jaws with a bear. It's not original but it's decent enough and has a good cast of grizzled western types.

Grizzly is great fun, Dem! Have you seen the unfinished Grizzly 2 that was floating around?

Basically a sequel in which a bear terrorises a rock concert.

No, sounds great. How do you mean unfinished? Was it never released?

Shakma is so cute another fave of mine is White Dog, which is rather a depressing movie but it's still greay

One of my all time favourite is the 1963 film
THE BIRDS

Yep, never released. I THINK it was leaked years later so it's not even a rough edit of the film. If I'm not mistaken, Kiss were planned to perform in it - though don't quote me on that. I remember watching it on YouTube a while back. Can remember next to nothing about it though...

CUTE?! :faint: Baboons are terrifying :scared:

Had this on my list from Amazon still in two minds to get it

There's dozens of the ****ers! :lol:

Scream's Blu Ray of OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN is superb.Highly recommended!
As is their DEADLY EYES,PIRANHA II and SQUIRM discs.

ROTTWEILLER hasn't been seen (To my knowledge) since it was released on tape by Thorn Emi on tape back in the '80's.

RAZORBACK has a cracking release in Oz from Umbrella,let down by hideous cover artwork.

THE PACK directed by Deadly Eyes' and Enter The Dragons' Robert Clouse is a very entertaining mutts on the rampage flick.Far more enjoyable in fact than the Burt Brinckerhoff directed DOGS.

More mad mutts worth a mention!

Of all the 'mad mutt' movies,White Dog is probably the classiest.:nod:

These may not be the best but for £5 for the boxset couldn't grumble

A fiver mate?
You were robbed! ;) :lol:

They were reduced in a closing down sale from £10 when The Works opened a bigger shop in the worst place in Dundee

:cool:

This was a movie i got robbed on from Poundland

Dogs is great!

If anyone hasn't mentioned it, the 80s Italian flick Wild Beasts is an absolute fricking hoot! :nod:

I have a similar set but including the Crocodile films. The first of the Croc films is directed by Tobe Hooper and in my opinion worth the price of the set alone...i do quite like all the films though.

What about films like

Not 100 % if all these can count as killer animals


Jaws
Pet sematary
Tremors
Thing
King Kong
American werewolf in London
Godzilla
Gremlins
Dog soldiers
Planet of the ape films
The fly
Shivers \ rabid
Slugs
Xtro

I wish that a proper 1080p blu-ray of Alligator was available. At the moment, it's just dodgy looking upscales from Germany and Spain. It's such a terrifically witty monster movie that I'm amazed that a proper releasing firm hasn't already put it out on blu-ray. I would really like to see an Arrow release. btw Wouldn't rewatch the terrible sequel - once was enough!

I forgot the Crocodile films were in the set along with another creature film aswell, goes to show how much i watched them:nod:

Some i remember seeing from my young days: would 28 days later apply? as it does start off with infectious monkeys?

The Ghost and the Darkness is crying out for a decent release.

Come on Arrow...you did it with Waterworld.

You gotta remember Dem, Waterworld had more money put into it and flopped where as Ghost and the darkness didn't and some people seem to have forgotten the movie.

It may have flopped at the cinema but it made a profit thanks to video. There's still Waterworld attractions at Universal Studios you know.

My favorite is The Edge (1997). Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins are great in it.

The Edge and TG&TD are both great.

I seen this thread mentioned in my RSS and was going to post a mention of Shakma expecting nobody to have ever heard of it. And there it was in the first post.

Another one to mention is Link with Elizabeth Shue in her first role. If you watch the trailer you've pretty much seen the whole movie though.
