Ray Kellogg directed this horror film about a misguided scientist on a remote island who has developed a serum to bring growth to animals to deal with future overpopulation. Unfortunately, he experimented on tiny shrews that have grown to the size of dogs, and become vicious killers on the loose, just as a fierce hurricane threatens the island and the few survivors, who try desperately to escape before the shrews get them... Brought to you by the director of "The Giant Gila Monster" that same year, film is a bit better, with some surprisingly tense scenes, and fierce-sounding monsters. Still silly of course, but better than you would expect, and a definite cult item.
