Synopsis
The Killer Shrews (1959) is an American B-movie creature feature you can watch online on iFILM. A hurricane strands a small group on a remote island, where a scientist's experiments have gone badly off the rails: ordinary shrews have swollen to the size of dogs, grown smarter, and eaten every other animal in sight.
That leaves the humans on the menu. A boat captain (James Best, later the sheriff on The Dukes of Hazzard), the doctor's daughter and his colleagues find themselves barricaded indoors while the pack circles outside. The mainland is too far to swim, and the swarm keeps growing.
Director Ray Kellogg shot it on pocket change, and the "monsters" are plainly dogs draped in shaggy carpet — which is exactly why the picture became a so-bad-it's-good cult staple that still turns up on worst-films-ever lists. It's a perfect pick for a rowdy retro-trash night where laughing at the screen is half the fun. Stream The Killer Shrews (1959) online on iFILM.
