 Rating:  - AN ORIGINAL DRIVE-IN TWIN BILL FROM 1959 -- WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THAT?IN A NUTSHELL: 2 DRIVE-IN CLASSICS WHICH PLAYED TOGETHER IN 1959 --> 1st Feature: 'The Killer Shrews' Directed by Ray Kellogg, 1959 --->HOW DO YOU RATE A BAD MOVIE THAT ENTERTAINS? This movie somehow is terribly entertaining and I am not sure why. It does have monsters, mandatory in all epic B creature features, but what kind of monsters? Yes, special monsters! Giant killer shrews which are actually cute jumping puppies with silly ... Read More Rating: - Classic monster movies are the best!!!This dvd gets 4 stars because of the production and remake of the old films. The only reason that I did not give it 5 is because it was hard to read the liner notes in the extra stuff because they were too small and in a bright color. You just about have to sit with your nose to the screen to read any of the notes. Who knew Roscoe P. Coltrain had it in him? If your not into classic horror movies, because these movies could be corny to those who don't like the Fake FX, or the one line dialog, Then you ...

The good news is that one of those two bad B-movies should tickle your fancy and make the double feature worth the viewing. "The Giant Gila Monster" is one of those films where ... Read More Rating:  - Tame Gila Monster & Dogs Dressed as Big Mean ShrewsI have to admit to the same technical difficulties with my DVD as others have reported. Once in a while it goes out of focus and even seems to freeze at one point. The edition I have has a different cover than the one on Amazon.Com but the company and the double-movies are the same. I bought the DVD for THE KILLER SHREWS and it is the most entertaining of the two films. While the costumed dogs are a bit hokey, with a little imagination, it works fine. Anyway, puppets are used for close ... Read More Rating: - Shrews and Gilas make for interesting watchingThese movies are a hoot! In the first movie, The Giant Gila Monster it is fun to watch the teens hot rodding around in their souped up jalopies trying to escape the Giant Gila Monster. The songs are hilarious and the subplot of the young man trying to raise money for his little sisters braces makes no sense in the plot. The second movie on the DVD is the Killer Shrews. This movie has a better plot and makes a little more sense than the Giant Gila monster. Did anyone notice that the captain of the ship ... Read More |
