Movie Info
Capt. Thorne Sherman lands his ship on an isolated island to make a delivery, only to find that mad doctor Marlowe Craigis is experimenting on shrews in an attempt to shrink them. The opposite happens, and the shrews become enormous and hungry for human flesh, leaving everyone on the island in peril, including the doctor's pretty daughter, Ann, and her unappealing fiancé, Jerry. Then, Thorne tries to organize an escape plan.

It would be a lot better if there were less talking. The idea was fine, but gosh darn it do something about the killer rats and stop talking!
-
When I was younger this was the stuff of nightmares: large rats chewing through the walls to get at you, but now the stilted acting, dull direction, and so-so writing are all too apparent. I still think the idea is good, workable, but the piece could use a larger investment of energy. As it is you'll be angry at the stupidity of the characters, the choices they make, and finally yourself for investing in this.
-
Why are the actors standing around talking and drinking for almost all of this movie? The ending has some exciting moments, but they're kinda crazy too. This is a pretty bad excuse for a film.
-
Boring, horrible acting and a highly implausible storyline make this truly a bottom-of-the-barrel piece of trash. Nothing at all good about this film except that it's not much more than an hour so the pain doesn't last too terribly long.
