Review of The Killer Shrews (1959) by Cody H — 17 Feb 2012
The Killer Shrew, what a boring piece of crap. I had the chance to see this film and Attack of the Giant Leeches, and oh boy did they suck. I would have to say these films should be recommended for children because they will be easily impressed.
The film opens with two men on a boat looking for treasure and finds an island. This looks good. One guy is told to stay behind while the other goes out and finds inhabitants with a scientist, nervous guy, pretty girl, and their Mexican servant.
Night falls and the group is attacked by a group greyhounds that are suppose to be killer shrews. This movie might be entertaining for some who love bad cinema, but I obviously bored, had no fondness for the shoddy creatures, production, plot, and script.
I found myself pushing forward button a number of times to speed it up. Killer Shrew is no killer unless you value time. There is a shrewdly climax, but some grab and hammer and avoid this film.
