Sailing to a remote and deserted island, Captain Thorne Sherman (James
Best) delivers supplies to scientist Dr. Craigis (Baruch Lumet), who is
anxious to have his daughter, Ann (Ingrid Goude), join the skipper on
his return voyage. And for good reason: Dr. Craigis and his assistants
have accidentally wreaked biological havoc by spawning mutant shrews
that are starving for food - especially humans! Sherman must fight for
survival while fending off these savage creatures. Surrounded by the
bloodthirsty beasts, he concocts a desperate escape plan that will keep
viewers' hearts pumping with excitement. Shot in Texas on an extremely
low budget,
The Killer Shrews is well acted and tensely written and has justifiably become a minor classic of its genre.
