Musarañas Asesinas

Una simpática película de clase B, en la que un grupo de perros que se hacen pasar por enormes ratas mutantes amenazan a un grupo de personas en una casa en una isla remota. El bajo presupuesto y la incompetencia creativa acabaron con el guión ya de por sí mediocre. Es irresistiblemente ingenuo en todo, desde las escenas de terror hasta las relaciones entre los personajes. No me arrepiento de un solo minuto que pasé viendo este placer culpable :-) (14.03.2009)

The most remarkable thing about this ultra-low-budget film is the fact that the producers were able to talk a then-popular country star, Miss Universe 1957, and the father of directing legend Sidney Lumet into it. The film's production design was really poor – the filmmakers made do with a single house surrounded by a high wooden fence somewhere in a not-so-lovely looking landscape and that's basically it. The visuals are lousy and unattractive, and the monsters themselves are the icing on the cake – killer "mutant rats", i.e. small greyhounds with long hair and sabre-like fangs. Every now and then they eat someone or break through a wall, and the only way to escape from them is in garbage cans. The way the attacks of the "monsters" are filmed (we put a stuffed animal's head in front of the camera, it somehow works) is really unintentionally funny and probably the only thing worth mentioning.
