"The Killer Shrews" (1959) is an American horror and science fiction movie by Ray Kellogg. It tells the story about a group of people who strand on an island where an evil scientist has created large shrews who attack every human they see.
The film has become a cult classic due to its ridiculous cheap special effects. For instance, the large shrews are just dressed up dogs.
