Shrews are tiny little
rodents with a slightly amusing name. Who thought
it would be a good idea to make a film about how
terrifying they are? Apparently Jay Simms did, as
he wrote this.
The special effects really let this one down.
The giant killer shrews are obviously just dogs with
rugs thrown over them, and the model used for the
close-up is unbelievably bad. I did like the
shrieking sounds, though. And how can you not love
a film which contains the line "The shrews were out
there! I couldn't take the chance!"
Also: I presume the
word "What" is missing from the very start of this
trailer. Although as it stands, "Could be more
terrifying" is a fairly accurate description.
Favourite
bit: The close-up of the Killer Shrew's face as it
comes through a door. Classic. |
