the killer shrews (1959)
aka The Attack of the Killer Shrews.
"Unusual experiments lead to unusual results."
A storm threatens an island and its population, but that's not all the people living there have to deal with, as they start being attacked by giant voracious shrews!
A drive-thru creature feature, that makes up for the lack of budget and the cheap monsters, (dogs in shaggy coats), with enthusiasm. It walks a familiar line, and ticks all the boxes: the chiselled hero, a damsel in distress, her mad-scientist father, (who in a departure from the norm, is actually quite rational), and a villain. But beware it suffers from the usual pacing issues inherent in these sorts of film, just use them to your advantage - as the chance for you get your next beer.
