Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaClose-ups of the giant shrews were filmed using hand puppets. The wider shots used dogs made up as the shrews.
- GoofsAt one point Thorne and Jerry walk past an apparently undamaged rowboat, which would get everyone off the island. When they return to the house they never mention it. This is most likely the same boat they tied to the dock, since it is not there when they are looking for Rook.
- Quotes
[while hiding under oil drums, the refugees are attacked by gigantic shrews]
Thorne Sherman: Don't let their head get under! They'll flip us over!
- Alternate versionsA colorized version was released in 2007 as part of a double feature with The Giant Gila Monster (1959).
- ConnectionsEdited into Pale Moonlight Theater: The Killer Shrews (2014)
Featured review
Killer shrews! mad Scientists! Lover's quarrels! All this and more! I just knew that I have seen James Best somewhere before. He has been in 177 films and TV shows, but Istill didn't remember because I have only watched "The Dukes of Hazzard" once or twice. he's Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane! You just can't hide that face.
Here he is a simple boat Captain delivering supplies to an island with crazy scientists doing genetic experiments. They created some killer shrews that looked just ghastly. The teeth were four or five inches long! Worse than that, they used some poison that didn't kill them, but will certainly kill you with just a scratch.
A horrid night with the shrews attacking and the Captain trying to save sultry blonde Ingrid Goude, not only from the shrews, but from Ken Curtis (Festus Haggen from "Gunsmoke") who wanted her for his own.
Innovative escape and lots of rabid shrew action.
