james best and his friend arrive by boat at a small island in front of a storm . the island be the home to a scientist and his assistant who be work on prolong life but accidentally create a race of giant shrew ( . ) . interestingly enough and these shrew look pretty much like dog with cheesy costume when they be show walking or run and and in closeup they resemble nothing from this planet they be just too weird to explain . although all this be really cheesy and what i think be funny be when people be hold normal shrew and play with them and a in real life and shrew be insane and would have probably tear them to piece . if you look closely and these be actually mice ( and it a good thing for the actor ) . this be one of 10 movie that come on a public domain dvd collection of horror film . pretty much all the film stink and but at least this one be very watchable but bad sort of like plan 9 from out space . the campiness and silliness of the whole thing hook my attention . the acting be generally pretty bad and though best wasn not too bad . however and if you be not a fan of bad but fun movie and avoid the film it certainly isnt shakespeare .
