A mad doctor. A hurricane. An island with no way out. Dr. Craigis wanted to shrink humanity to solve overpopulation. Instead, he grew his test shrews to the size of wolves. Now they're loose, they're starving, and they eat their body weight every eight hours. Captain Thorne Sherman didn't sign up for this. Nobody did. Shot on a Texas ranch with coonhounds in monster suits, this drive-in creature feature is pure id — cheap, tense, and weirdly effective. Grindhouse DNA at its most raw.
