Shrews or Dogs-You Decide
20 September 2003
There have been quite a few movies where a giant something attacks the general populace and causes much mayhem and fear. The most well known of these would most likely be Them, in which monstrous ants run amok.

This movie, however, is not about giant ants. Or giant locusts, spiders, mantis's, or even giant red fruit, but rather giant shrews. If this does not instill fear into the very marrow of your bones I'm not surprised. Shrews are tiny, and a shrew the size of a hamster could be considered "giant."

The shrews involved in the movie are roughly the size of a dog. In fact, throughout much of the movie the shrews ARE dogs, wearing crudely made costumes.

This movie maintains a very steady level of badness throughout. Bad acting, bad shrew costumes, bad plot. Just plain BAD.

And a message about overpopulation was kind of lost in the badness to make things worse.

BAD.
