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 ... Read More
Rating: - The giant Gila monster is okay but love those killer shrews!
This DVD brings us a pair of movies from director Ray Kellogg, whose most notable work would be the John Wayne film "The Green Berets."

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

The Giant Gila Monster
This is a picture of life before CGI. The contrived dialog is part of the mystique. You get to see hotrods and large lizards. The blob it is not; but it is a necessary addition to any 50' collection.
A teenage boy and a teenage girl disappear together and the law is getting suspicious.
I want to ask the monster if teenagers taste like chicken.
Watch for your self.

Rating:  - Tame Gila Monster & Dogs Dressed as Big Mean Shrews
I 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
