It also shows you that millennials weren't the first ones to freak out about global warming. We '70s kids thought that the end was near! This film exploits the fear of impending doom quite nicely.

Both featured numerous shots of critters that led to almost nothing.

That one didn't do much for me, and it sounds like Day of the Animals isn't much better. As others have pointed out in the comments, The Manitou may not be a great film, but it's got one of the craziest premises ever!Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-89912033188906090772022-06-14T17:38:16.475-07:002022-06-14T17:38:16.475-07:00Many thanks!
