What Are Your Favourite Movies That Involve Animal Killers?
 

Movies where animals attack and kill humans aren't generally of the best kind, maybe because the plot often isn't that complex and special effects can prove to be a bit tricky to make them look like truly believable scenarios. I still enjoy this genre enough (am I correct in calling it a genre? Or should films like these simply be referred to as disaster movies?), at least for pure entertainment meant to fill the gaps on Sunday afternoons when you can't think of any other films to watch.


Some favourites:

Jaws and Jaws 2

Wild Beasts

Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077429/
A ridiculous movie which I can’t help loving. The final scenes where the satanic beast turns into a giant, cartoonish projection are often regarded as terrible filmmaking. I have bad taste, therefore they work fine for me.

Cheeky monkey!

Youse lot?

The Birds:

I was tempted to put Cujo but it's one film in a long line of terrible films made out of good Stephen King books.

Cujo is a good call! Honestly, you can't get much worse than Devil Dog when it comes to canine evil on celluloid, and I still find that one an enjoyable movie.

I'm sure demonrail will have a lot more to say on the subject but I'll leave you with an example of a sub genre of your killer animals genre: the films that contain a scene where animals kill genre:
Clash of the Titans:

LOL

Mentions of famous bitches that make an appearance in movies not really based on the subject of this thread are more than welcome too.

in Buffy, some demons play poker for kittens.


piranha (1978) --i am almost certain i have watched that too as a kid.

the birds!!

godzilla

and the best of them all even though it has nothing but nothing to do with disaster or the animals doing the killing but this thread reminded me of it:




watch this. watch it. but watch it.

black sheep

I have not seen a single film mentioned in this thread, mostly because despite the evil of the animal in question, I cannot stand to see the offending animal harmed by the humans.

I am a diehard Stephen King fan (as I've mentioned before, and if you want to start with me on that, BRING IT FUCKERS), have read every single book of his, and refuse to this day to read Cujo.

Few movies have skullfucked my fragile mind as roughly as

When they came through the car-vents, I died a little inside.

NOWHERE'S SAFE

OMG that picture is fuxking me up.

BEES HAVE MOUTHS FULL OF TEETH AND BLOOD.

No amount of graphix, embellishment, CGI, etc. can make bees appear dangerous. NOT POSSIBLE.



You are a TOTAL PUSSY.

Great film. And pretty much "watch this. watch it. but watch it"

I blame girls.

Guys, when a girl tells you to throw a brick at a hive, because it'd be "funny". Don't. It's not funny at all. They have mouths full of teeth and bloo :(d.

You are a TOTAL PUSSY. And that doesn't even get you laid.

Do NOT start with that one. I know it's cliche, but start with "The Shining" if you're into the horror thing (I fucking LOVE horror). Really though, his prose is amazing in all of his novels, you can't really strike out (except with some of the Bachman novels).

For a whole minute, I thought the topic was about movies in which men would kill animals, leading to a police investigation and so on...

I really enjoyed Willard, especially because of the funeral home scene, Crispin Glover's acting and Laura Mulholland Drive Harring...

It was a remake of that Willard, which I saw in my teens and made a good impression on me, probably for Ernest Borgnine's last scene...

Ben looks like a sequel or an early remake centered on the rodent...

There's Monkey Shines that I liked a lot too, where the monkey's turned into a killer by some drug that has it read its owner's mind and desires. So it's not the animal's wish to start it all.

The last scene was something.

Films with snakes I saw were rather bad.
The Birds, yes...
Does the Holy Grail rabbit count or is it too fake to be mentioned?

^ yeah...the only movies that I can recall with an animal killin' peoples is Cujo and Willard.

That rabbit fucked me up for life.
