Poster of the Week … ‘The Killer Shrews’ (1959)

Plot: A disparate group are trapped on a remote island by a hurricane. On the island, a doctor works to make humans twice as small as we already are. This, apparently, will help prevent over population. Unfortunately, his experiments have also created some giant shrews. As the shrews run out of smaller animals to eat, they move in on the people in the house. (from IMDB)

• This film and its companion piece, ‘The Giant Gila Monster’ (1959), marked the directorial debut of veteran special effects man Ray Kellogg.
