The last time we tackled the topic of we focused on movies with a sense of humor. Not the over-the-top, look-how-silly sort of humor we know and (sometimes) love from the Dinocroc and Sharknado producers, but the sly, tongue-in-cheek wit you'd get from the likes of Slugs, Piranha, and Black Sheep.But after offering up so many 'light' movies in which human beings get horribly devoured by hungry beasts, we thought it only fair to shine a light on the downright, seriously, out-and-out scary 'animal attack' movies. That's not to say that the 10 movies listed below are bereft of humor (not even close), just that the main intent of these films is to creep you out, not make you chuckle.War ning: Because the movies below all fall into the 'horror' genre, some of the content included within the trailers below might be slightly graphic for some tastes.1. The Birds (1963)You'll of course forgive the obviousness of this (and the following) inclusion, but you simply cannot talk about high-end 'animal attack' movies without mentioning Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 classic The Birds.
Before this wonderfully suspenseful horror film hit the screens, 'animal attack' stories were generally presented with a lighter (often sillier) sensibility. It took a craftsman of Hitchcock's stature to illustrate how damn scary a 'simple' animal can be.From the slow-burn setup and essential character beats to the most iconic moments—such as a wonderful sequence in which a schoolyard is overrun by crows—'The Master of Suspense' seems to take great delight in delving into full-bore shock, awe, and horror. But since it's Hitchcock, there's still an omnipresent sense of class, restraint, and devious wit.
Plus it's got some special effects that were pretty damn staggering in the early '60s—and still hold up pretty well today. Jaws (1975)Not only is Steven Spielberg's Jaws a hugely influential, massively popular, and resoundingly entertaining piece of 'early blockbuster' cinema, it's also one of the finest horror films you'll ever see. (Don't let anyone ever tell you that this is not a horror film.) But instead of citing the goofy sequels, the endless knock-offs, and the epic pop culture footprint that Jaws has left in its wake, let's just focus on the key point:This is one scary movie.We'd be willing to bet that human beings are born with an instinctual fear of being eaten by a large animal—and rare is the movie that captures that sensation so well.
From the panicked gasps of poor Chrissy as she becomes a hungry shark's first victim to the horrific demise of Quint during the big finale, Spielberg seems well aware of how horrifying a shark attack must be—and so he fills the rest of the film with humor, warmth, and character. We quickly grow to care for Chief Brody, his family, his townsfolk, and his new allies in their fight against a furious fish, and that's what makes the scary stuff work so well. The fact that Jaws is just as popular today as it was 40 years ago kind of says it all. If you haven't seen the film in a few years, you really need to treat yourself to a revisit. Day of the Animals (1977)Though it's most assuredly a B-level 'drive-in double feature' sort of animal attack movie, there's still something quaintly appealing and legitimately creepy about this low-budget tale in which all sorts of nature runs wildly amok. Director William Girdler (who previously gave us 1976's Grizzly, which is also pretty solid) seems to take equal inspiration from The Birds, Jaws, and Irwin Allen's disaster epics, and the result is a dark adventure in which a cast of (sort of) big stars do battle with a wide array of highly unhappy animals.If Leslie Nielsen versus a bear isn't enough to pique your interest, how about Christopher George, Lynda Day George, Richard Jaeckel, and Andrew Stevens versus mountain lions, snakes, birds, rats, and dogs? It's an all-out animal battle royale in Day of the Animals, and while it's simply a fun piece of low-budget, mid-'70s genre history, the movie does earn points for being one of the earliest eco-horror flicks to cite the rapidly depleting ozone layer as the cause for all the carnage.
That's pretty prescient stuff for a wacky little horror movie, right?(For a similar and even more obscure example of multi-animal mayhem, go dig up the very goofy 1978 TV movie The Beasts Are on the Streets. Yep, that's the actual title.) 4.
Long Weekend (1978)Although unfairly overlooked upon its initial release, this semi-obscure Australian import gradually earned itself a cult following, thanks mainly to its ominous, mysterious tone and a slyly satisfying escalation of tension. On paper, it sounds like a pretty basic affair: a couple from the city decide to 'rough it' in the outback, only to prove that they have nothing in the way of respect for Mother Nature. And that's when really weird stuff starts to happen.Arguably not much more than a considerably more subtle and cerebral take on movies like Day of the Animals, Long Weekend earns a lot of points for avoiding the typical 'animal attack' tropes, for focusing on character and set-up over pointless explanations, and for bringing a sobering, sci-fi-style approach to a concept that's usually mined for simple scare scenes. This might not be the most action-packed film on this list, but it might just be the creepiest.Note: the 2008 remake (a.k.a. Nature's Grave) is not nearly as good as the original. Cujo (1983)Stephen King has never been shy about sharing his opinions regarding the films that have been made out of his books (just Google the man's initial thoughts on Stanley Kubrick's rendition of The Shining for proof). And he's gone on record (more than once) saying that Cujo ranks exceedingly high on his list of favorites.
And if you can please a guy as demanding as King with your adaptation, that's pretty impressive. (Then again, King did direct Maximum Overdrive.)Dog lovers, beware: Cujo is about a mother and young son who become trapped in a broken-down car, in the middle of nowhere, in desperately hot weather, with an insanely rabid dog roaming the immediate proximity. More of a gruesome suspense thriller than a nonstop 'animal attack' chomp-fest (although the crazed canine does nail a few peripheral characters pretty well), Cujo still holds up remarkably well today—partially because the scary moments are so well-realized, but also because the two leads (Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro) sell the escalating horror with each passing scene. Razorback (1984)Few things are as imposing as a wild boar, mainly because they're mean and aggressive, but also because they're just disgusting. A giant pig with tusks might not be as primordially horrifying as a shark or a tiger, but you sure as hell wouldn't want to mess with one.Arguably one of the most stylish and confident of the myriad Jaws knock-offs that populated the late '70s and early '80s, the fantastic Australian horror flick Razorback is about a gigantic wild boar that terrorizes a small outback community—and this is one nasty beast indeed. Directorial debut of Russell Mulcahy (he'd go on to do Highlander thanks in large part to his work here), Razorback nails the essential points by giving us a horrible monster and a few characters worth pulling for, but it's probably best remembered for its nasty disposition and its unexpectedly impressive visual design.Also that pig is really freakin' scary.
