To date, I have reviewed a string of movies from the 1920, 1930's, and the 1940's.  With " The Killer Shrews, " I'll be closing out my set of five movies from the 1950's... and what a way to close it. While dropping off supplies to a small research team, Captain Thorne Sherman is stranded on the remote island due to a hurricane.  Soon, he discovers that the hurricane isn't the only danger he's facing- for him and the science team are now at the mercy of killer shrews. .. This is definately one of those movies that you show during a cult classic/b-movie night. Captain Sherman- played by James Best, is a bit of a jerk, but kinda likeable at the same time.  Ken Curtis's character, Jerry is great as the drunken arse of an assistant.Judge Henry Dupree, and Alfred DeSoto- being the minorities in the movie seem to be there simply to die before the white people... though I did like DeSoto's character, Mario.  I also liked Baruch Lumet as Dr. Mar...
