Animals that have not yet killed humans on screen but should!

I'm not even sure such a thing exists but let's see ...

We've had:

- birds: Birds, Birds II, Zombie 5 ( eek! )
- pigs: Hannibal most recently
- rats: Willard, Rodentz ( ) and many others
- slugs: Slugs, Galaxy of Terror
- spiders: Arachnophobia, Spiders, Tarantuala, Eight Legged Freaks and about 1 000 000 more
- bees: Deadly Invasion
- apes: Primal Rage, 28 Days Later
- rabbits: Night of the Lepus
- crocodiles: Lake Placid, Tobe Hooper's Crocodile ( )
- mosquitos: Skeeter, Mosquito
- sharks: Jaws and a million knock-offs
- frogs: When Hell Came to Frogtown
- cockroaches: Mimic I-III
- dogs: Cujo, Man's Best Friend
- bears: The Prophecy (the Frankenheimer flick of course)
- whales: Orca
- octopus: Octopus I&II
- snakes: Anaconda, Venom

I am sure I forgot a ton of them but here's where you come in. I mean, are there films with flesh-eating, human-hunting cows, chickens, giraffes, elephants ... ??? Because if they don't exist someone has to make them! I mean, just imagine, giant, radio-active chickens running amok in New York and picking humans to death only to get blasted with triple shotguns by our hero ... it could be the next blockbuster!

How about snails? Giant snails. Maybe it's too close to slugs. Here's why I bring up snails though. Back in elementary school our library had a series of Alfred Hitchock Presents horror analogies. They were pretty intense. One story had a guy shipwrecked on an island that was inhabitited by giant but slow moving snails. At first he was afraid but soon realized he could easily avoid the snails. The rest of the story, if I recall correctly, was him trying to figure out how to get off the island. The snails are always in the background though and they don't ever stop coming at him ever so slowly. He becomes more and more worn down and the snails become an increasing threat. Finally he becomes exhausted and breaks his leg in an accident. He is lying on the beach on can see a snail coming very very slowly but there is nothing he can do. That might be a fun movie. You have the casteway, get off the island story everyone loves with big ol' giant monsters. Better than a volleyball in my humble opinion. Really good topic by the way. Thanks.

There was a Japanese movie with giant snails....or was it slugs?

Personally, I want a killer chipmunk.

I've seen killing snails. An old movie, called Enigma I think. Something about a girl with the power to kill you using your biggest fear...

Someone's greatest fear was snails? Was he a traumatized French chef?

Oh, it's quite simple: Sheep.

We need a killer sheep movie. I'd preferably like to see like a Godzilla-sized sheep lay waste to an entire city. But if that's too far fetched then a normal dized killer sheep is fine.

The Japanese movie with giant snails you're thinking of is most likely UZUMAKI which had people turning into giant snails. Sadly they didn't attack or eat any humans. They just crawled up and down some walls ...

And a killer chipmunk would indeed be cool!

I love that scene in BAD TASTE where they try to shoot one of the aliens with a rocket launcher, the alien ducks and the rocket blows up a sheep. Not that the sheep was man-eating or giant but wouldn't it be cool to have The Boys fight rabid killer sheep? Paging Peter Jackson ...

Damn, I think I would rent many of the killer animal films being suggested here just based on their premise alone. Good cheesy fun.

Not an animal, but I had an idea for a killer millipede movie called "Killipede", but I'll be damned if someone didn't go and make their own centipede/millipede movie.

How about large killer ground hogs or ground squirrels? Or an NC17 T + A horror flick with beavers and soft porn actresses called... Deadly Beaver or Beaver Attack?

Just call me Mr. High Brow.

No, I looked it up, it was The Last Days of Planet Earth...a movie rife with anti-pollution, anti-war and pro-life messages....

It had slugs which had been mutated by chemical dumping...I think they may have attacked...

But I also think there was a Doctor Who episode (The Green Death I think) with giant slugs...

Sea creatures can look so ALIEN, esp. cephalopods and deep-deep-sea creatures, they've always seemed an underused inspiration for horror. I guess it's the logistical nightmare involved in getting the crew of creature fodder down to a depth where the creatures can get at them. So maybe not these creatures, but creatures BASED on this creatures:

Sea Anemone (OF DOOM!)
Sea Urchin (OF DESTRUCTION!)
Sea Cucumber (OF SOUL-DESTROYING GIRTH!)

Hydrae (the microbes, not the dragons)

And on a different note, definitely we need a Revenge of the RoadKill movie...zombie squirrels, armadillos, racoons, skunks, carp. It'd be just like Resident Evil, but cuddlier.

Sea Cucumbers ROCK! I once saw a documentary about them and they actually SPIT OUT THEIR GUTS when atacked to distract their enemy, then somehow regenerate! They're the BADASSES OF THE OCEAN!!!

I also just remembered a comic I read many years ago that was about a safari. But there was this strange mist that changed the animals. So all of a sudden zebras would hunt lions, disembowl them and eat their entrails! All the peaceful herbivores became carnivores and vice versa. Very cool! Can't remember the title, though. It was an European (I think French) comic in some anthology ...

Giraffes would be awesome indeed!

Maybe they could be mutanted by some experiment to mix their genes with those of an extinct species of dragon (yes i know they don't really exist but it is a film). The giraffes could have wings and fly and breathe fire. Or maybe that could be in the sequel. Or maybe i have a far too vivid imagination.

Cows. Gotta be about man-eating cows. A nice opening set piece having them descimate a crowded McDonalds or Burger King or something. At least my vegan girlfriend would buy a ticket.

**!SERIOUS SUGGESTION HERE!**

Turtles!

We need killer turtles! Not mutated, just fucking huge (ala Lake Placid). Like a big fucking Aligator Snaper that keeps attacking swimmers at a dock or something. That would be so righteously choice!

Or Giant Clams! Except they would have to be mutated, cause they wouldn't eat you otherwise.

There's an Italian horror movie called Wild Beasts .
The water supply for a large city zoo becomes contaminated with PCP. They break loose...with hilarious results.

Rats eat a girl and her boyfriend alive, giant cats ripand claw people to death, an elephant crushes one girl's head with it's foot...hell even a polar bear shows up to cause destruction,
a girl in a Volkswagen is chased at high speed by a cheetah.

All kinds of animals, doing all kinds of good stuff!

That episode was The Green Death and it had giant maggots, as well as a giant fly.

But there were slug-like creatures in The Image of the Fendahl, as well as a few episodes with slug-like aliens, but we won't count them...

ALSO, I can't believe no one brought up the best: KILLER MONKEYS!!!

Congo aside, there was Shakma about a killer baboon, and In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro, a movie based on true accounts about hordes of blood thirsty baboons going on a rampage due to a drought in Kenya.
Good Stuff!

Ducks. Killer ducks. Think about it, man. They can walk, fly, swim and dive. YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM THEM. If ducks had hands they would rule the world.

But I did! In the very first post! However, I referred to them as APES ... wink Is there a difference? Apart from PRIMAL RAGE and 28 DAYS LATER which I mentioned and the ones you brought up there is also the 1999 Ron Perlman ( eek! ) starrer PRIMAL FORCE.

Get this plot summary: "Rescuers try to reach plane crash victims that are trapped on an isolated Mexican island populated by mutant baboons. Ron Perlman stars as a troubled guide hired to lead the mission."

I'll have to check it out someday ...

There's also LINK and Romero's MONKEY SHINES ...

Oh God, I saw Primal Force a few weeks ago...it was on the SciFi channel. Truely God awful.

Wetbones:
As for Wild Beasts, it is only available on bootleg tape or DVD-R since it hasn't been released over here.

Go to:

<a href="http://www.videoscreams.com" target="_blank">www.videoscreams.com</a>

They have it, and a whole lot more.

Sorry abput the killer baboon thing, I didn't even see that you posted it. My mistake.

Pandas, since penguins and platypuses have been said already (my 3 fav animals, all start w/ a P, wierd, huh?)

and on the subject of koalas:

"In my apartment instead of cockroaches i have koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. I turn on the lights and a bunch of koala bears scatter. But I dont want em to go, it's like 'hey.... come back, lemme hold one of you... and feed you a leaf.'"

First of all, the killer mutant sheep movie has already been made. It's an obscure 70s monster movie called THE GODMONSTER OF INDIAN FLATS. Something Weird Video released it.

As I understand it, Stuart Gordon actually had one in the works back in the 80s called TOR but it never got made.

As for my choices, well I've already pitched the ideas for BEAVER DAMNED, a NIGHT OF THE LEPUS style movie with giant beavers terrorizing a logging community. Even has a tagline, "How much wood can a woodchuck chuck when the woodchucks chuck on you!"

I'd also like to see one about killer swordfish or marlins the spear people to death in the water.
