The Killer Shrews (1959)


Man was this shit silly... It was hilariously bad, but I think it definitely overstayed its welcome, even at barely an hour...

A bunch of people are stuck in an ADOBE house on an ISLAND during a HURRICANE while "shrews" (which are really, REALLY obviously just like...dogs with tarps thrown over them...like, they don't even TRY...the puppets are a small improvement(although only when its dead...in motion, it's fakey) [Also, possibly the most hilariously amusing 'heroic escape' ever...here's a hint: it involes trash cans and duck-walking]
Completely preposterous in every way, something actually lost to Ben-Hur...and anyone who knows me knows how much I HATE Ben-Hur...

...Okay, it's still better than Ben-Hur...
