IMDb profile

The Killer Shrews is a 1959 science-fiction movie directed by Ray Kellogg. It was parodied by Mystery Science Theater 3000. The movie has been released on DVD and is considered a cult classic.

Plot synopsis

A disparate group are trapped on a remote island by a hurricane. On the island, a doctor works to make humans half-size. This, apparently, will reduce world hunger as smaller humans would presumably eat less. Unfortunately, his experiments have also created some giant, venomous shrews. As the shrews run out of smaller animals to eat, they move in on the people in the house.

The "shrews" in this ultra-low-budget film are small dogs dressed in animal skins designed to make them look vaguely like large shrews (they even bark audibly in many scenes). Puppets made from similar animal skins were used for closeups. Shrews are normally about the size of a mouse.

    Killer Shrews in the news

    This is the killer map application i have been looking for a year, it will help to complete my hundred million project (IDR): “Building and Government House Archive Digitalization”, thank Google! Watch the video to learn, or read the transcripts below in case you are on text browser

    Two very different portraits of the state of mind of Canada's youngest multiple killer can be found in notes she wrote before and after the murders.

    Had Bob Dylan not written a song about it, the 1963 killing of a black servant by a society man's cane would have been long forgotten. This semi-recent (2004) article chronicles the murder of Hattie Carroll, and her killer's (William Zantzinger) life from his release from jail to today. Definitely a very interesting read.
