“Cute Little Buggers” is a horror-comedy film that revolves around a twisted tale in which bunnies mutate into dangerous and bloodthirsty creatures. The plot begins in an idyllic English village preparing for the annual Easter festival.
The inhabitants of the village are excited about the upcoming festivities and have no idea that they will soon be confronted with an invasion of mutated bunnies. A group of aliens known as the Crites decide to use Earth’s bunnies as a food source. They implant the bunnies with eggs that explode when fertilised, turning the animals into bloodthirsty monsters.
The story picks up speed when the villagers notice the absurd and increasingly dangerous events. The mutated rabbits begin to bite wildly and attack everything in their path. The people must now fight for their survival and deal with the bizarre effects of these creatures.
One of the film’s madcap ideas is that the hares have a strange attraction to humans. They release pheromones that sexually arouse both men and women, leading to bizarre encounters. This makes for additional absurd and comical scenes as the villagers try to keep their libidos under control while escaping the mutant bunnies.
Some of the most absurd scenes in the film include a chase through the village where the rabbits attack the villagers and spread chaos. There is also a scene in which a man tries to fight a hare with a hoover and gets into a comical situation. Another scene shows a group of villagers trying to distract a horde of rabbits with carrots, resulting in a chaotic and funny scene.
