Day Of The Animals
The Best Example Why You Should Stay In The City
Steve-The leader of this group. Apparently he's an experienced woodsman, but doesn't know how to handle a bunch of random animals attacking.
Ray-He use to play with the NFL. Now his leg is bad and he has cancer. So what does he do? He goes on a 2 week hike! WEEE!!
Frank & Mandy-Husband and wife who are on the brink of divorce. Luckily, she dies. YAY! No alimony.
Bob & Beth-A young couple who wanna get freaky in the woods.
Mrs. Goodwyn & John-Mother/Son team. She's an annoying rich bitch and a tad bit overbearing on John.
Terry-Achorwoman who falls for Steve.
The Professor-I swear his name isn't given. Maybe this is a nod to "Gilligan's Island"? Anyway, he doesn't do much except bumble around and take pictures.
Santee-Of course if you're gonna go hiking in the woods, you need an Indian guy.
Jensen-Played by Leslie Neilsen. I'll never look at him the same way again. He's an annoying jackass who goes apeshit and think's he's motherfuckin' Tarzan or something. Why, Leslie, why?
Little Girl-Found by Frank. Poor girl.
Tucker-Overweight Sheriff, I think. Battles flying rats!
Various Random Animals-They go batshit insane when the ozone layer goes to hell and they start killing anyone in their path. The animals include, but not limited to, eagles, dogs (both wild and domesticated), tigers, mountain lions, and...owls?
I knew the ozone layer was important, but sheesh. The beginning is a Star Wars-style opening explaining that if we don't take care of the ozone layer, THIS might happen.

A bunch of people decide to go hiking through the mountains and woods for a week or so, for various reasons. They are lead by Steve, who seems to know what he's doing and doesn't get scared easily. While they're up there, we get various shots of animals just biding their time until it comes to attack.

We learn about everyone's backstory first. Terry is a news anchor, John's father is so busy that he divorced his mom, so she takes John hiking to forget about things, mainly how to dress while in the woods. Roy not only isn't in the NLF anymore, he broke his leg AND he has cancer. The married couple hate each other, the young couple love each other, and the Indian is just there. Oh, and Jensen is an arrogant racist prick, constantly insulting Santee.
Hi-ho hi-ho...it's off to be killed by animals we go!
Sure, we'll be safe now that we have The Marlboro Man!
Who the hell dresses like this while hiking in the woods?
Finally, about 30 minutes into the movie, a wolf, cause he was hungry I'm assuming, attacks Mandy while she's sleeping. She survives, but needs medical attention. So Steve does the smart thing: send these two bickering people off alone into the woods. Well, that ends terribly with a bunch of birds attacking her, pushing her off a cliff. Well, least he doesn't have to split half of his stuff with her.

Steve pushes his crew onward towards where some food is. I was expecting a giant pile of hamburgers, but that's just me. Instead they find a bunch of metal cases ripped open and no food. It's here that Jensen tries to bully Steve, but he won't have any of it.
Ohh Mandy....you got attacked and you fell off a cliff.......
Back in town, Tucker gets a call saying the army has arrived in this town, whatever it's called, and that they should get the hell out of there cause animals are attacking people left and right cause of the ozone. Tucker decides he's gonna get a light snack before heading out when some rats jump on the food, then they literally jump on him. Jumping flying rats. I laughed for five minutes straight.

Frank, trying to cope with the loss of his wife, finds a little girl just roaming around. We don't get her backstory, but Frank makes it his mission to save and protect her.
Yum. Rats for dinner.
This rat learned how to jump from Kris Kross!
This kid only had one line and that was "Why do I have to witness the most fucked up things in this movie?"
Back with the others, Jensen is just stirring shit and he decides he's gonna seperate himself from Steve, saying he doesn't know how to do shit. But an ad executive from New York City does? Whatever, dude. Jensen takes Mrs. Goodwyn and her kid, along with the young couple. It's here that you lose any respect for Jensen that you MIGHT'VE had.

First off, he's completely shirtless. Then he decides he's gonna kill Bob, threaten to throw John off a cliff, tell Mrs. Goodwyn off, then rape Beth. Before he proceeds with that, a bear comes along and for once we root for the animals while we see a shirtless Leslie Neilsen wrestle the bear. But we all know he loses (Jensen), and the rest take off, secretly happy.

Steve, Santee, Terry, The Professor (remember him? He hardly does anything), and Roy make it to a group of cabins, but a pack of dogs are waiting for them and they take out Roy and The Professor. The rest get on a make-shift raft and high-tail it to the river.

Mrs. Goodwyn, John, and Beth find a broken down helicopter and they too fight off dogs. Frank and the kid make it to town, but because it was evacuated, there's no one around. Then when things couldn't get worse, the kid watches Frank get bitten by snakes, then eaten by a dog. Damn. And I like dogs too.

After awhile, all the animals are dead from the heat (?), so the government FINALLY arrives (Thanks FEMA!) and everyone is saved. Did I mention that this whole thing came about cause of THE OZONE LAYER?!

It was the Ozone Layer.
Ladies and gentleman: A shirtless insane Leslie Neilsen!
I included this picture only to show you the constant mistakes the editor made in this movie. Here, for example, you can see the reflection of the camera guy in the back. Look!
For a movie that has every animal known to mankind kill people, it was kinda slow. And I really could've done without seeing Leslie Neilsen wrestle a bear shirtless, then threaten to rape some poor girl. Thankfully, this was early in his career and he made Airplane! not too long after this, so I think he can be forgiven of all sins.
It was the Ozone Layer.
