(1959, Upgraded 12/30/20) James Best, Ingrid Goude, Gordon McLendon, Ken Curtis, Baruch Lumet. "And the shrew devours everything. Flesh, bones, marrow...everything." This movie is what low budget, 50's sci-fi was supposed to be all about. Research scientists develop a breed of giant, carnivorous shrews that terrorize a group of people on a small, remote island off the coast of Texas. Things get really hairy when the monsters (dogs wearing apparent carpet pieces) attack during the middle of a hurricane. Some truly terrifying moments for such a cheapie schlock-fest. We LOVE this film. Colorful performances with Curtis playing a wonderful coward (his death scene is a hoot). Gordon McLendon produced this movie along with The Giant Gila Monster for his southern drive-in theater circuit. From a beautiful 35mm theatrical print.
