The Killer Shrews

“All that was left after...”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 70, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
An island gathering is interrupted by oversized shrews, whose resemblance to dogs wearing questionable fur creates its own special atmosphere. The scientific warning is delivered earnestly, while the practical survival problem mostly involves finding something sturdier than the creature costumes.
