Theme: Nature's Revenge

Nature’s Revenge relates to a body of films that came out principally in the 1970s around the same time as the growth of Environmentalism movement. In these films, nature, usually in the form of animals and insects, would turn against humanity.

The cause given was usually that humanity had polluted or destroyed the native habitat of the animals, sometimes it was because the animals had mutated, or else no explanation would be given. In all cases, the outlook for humanity was not a positive one. The progenitor of these films was The Birds (1963).

Most of the entries here are listed under Animals Attack Films or others under Bugs or Plantlife – although it should not noted that not all the entries listed under these are Nature’s Revenge films.
