The Killer Shrews (1959)
Having watched this many times during countless re-runs on tv,I was surprised how much I still enjoyed this one.
Now just look at that poster,isn't that great art?
Reminds me of 50's pulp comics and pocket books!
It's no surprise that The Killer Shrews is actually as hard-boiled as the poster suggests.
Made on a low budget but with all the ingredients for men to feel manly.
And the same production company brings you...
The Giant Gila Monster (1959)
Hot rodders vs a giant monster!
Can it be as good as it sounds?
I guess it can as this is primo 50's teenage entertainment with teen problems,romance,songs,hot rods and of course monsters thrown in the mix.
Btw both films have very decent special effects considering the time and their low budgets.
My favourite is without a doubt The Killer Shrews as I'm no longer a teenager and like the hard-boiled style of this little b-movie classic.
