Attack of the Killer Shrews!

I was finally was able to catch Attack of the Killer Shrews and I had a riot watching it. Can't wait to watch again with the commentary. The cast did an excellent job. Loved all the Western NY love given. Local business cameos including Rons, Sunshine Cafe, and Fat Bobs! Bill Kennedy was hilarious. Charlie Hilson and JB Aaron turned in great performances. This one was exciting until the end!

Everyone from the mad scientist to Fiona Ray was cast perfectly and are sure to keep you laughing throughout this cult classic remake of (looks at the camera) 'Attack of the Killer Shrews'. Shot and casted in WNY, this films got heart and is a great pick for one of these chillingly spooky fall nights!! If your like me and would rather trade some of the gore for laughing so hard it hurts, then this is the one for you!

Cheers

This is nothing more than a HOME-MADE... thing and should NOT even be allowed on IMDb.

This so-called 'parody' has no connection whatsoever with the film other than stealing its title.

The actual film was about scientists on am Island (down near Florida). There were no 'film starlets' nor anything else in this.

All the 'positive' reveries are self-written by people involved in this garbage. I'd hope that they're forced to spend the rest of their lives only able to watch crap which had been self-made and reviewed, and they very quickly realise why that's not done.

Finally, none of these people have ANY connection with any professional entertainment business areas. They're NOT SAG-AFTRA, nor are they IATSE members (those are the unions under which ALL film and TV shows operate, and there's a simple reason for it. Watching this GARBAGE, you'll understand).

The people who are involved in this should all realise they're in a hick area of the States and should do what they do 'best' (well, it's apparent that's nothing, still) and stick to working in fast food joints and becoming obese.

From the movie's cover, I thought that I was in for a horror comedy of sorts, but I had no idea that this was a Troma movie. And had I known that, then I would have given the movie a wide berth.

I sat down to watch "Attack of the Killer Shrews!" in 2021, without ever having known about this movie's existence. But then again, I have never been a fan of the movies that Troma have been putting out at all, so I wouldn't be keeping up with their releases.

And as I realized that this was a Troma movie, the feature had already begun. So I figured that I might as well give it a chance. Perhaps Troma had upped their game since last I saw one of their movies.

Turns out that they haven't!

This was a bad movie, really, really bad movie. The acting was as wooden and rigid as it gets, complete with horrible dialogue and lousy characters. Needless to say that the plot of the movie and the storyline was just rubbish.

And the shrews were nothing more than stuffed toy animals. It was just painful to look at. It was so bad, and not in the way that some movies manages to be so bad that it becomes funny to watch. No, "Attack of the Shrews!" was just painful to watch.

But hey, I know there are fans out there for the Troma movies. I, however, am not one of them, and I gave this movie a chance. I managed to endure a staggering 30 minutes of pure torture, then I just had enough of the ordeal and I called it quits. Never to return to finish this movie.

Now, I got nothing against B-movies, but the stuff that Troma puts out is just amateurish on a level where I am sure that anyone with a digital video camera and free video editing software can make something of equal worth. So it is just beyond me why stuff like this make it to physical print and release.

My rating of "Attack of the Killer Shrews!" land on a, and no surprise there, mere one out of ten stars. It is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have stumbled upon.

I'm not really sure how this movie possibly has close to a six rating here on IMDB. It's really nor very good at all.

The budget is so low, the interior scenes are actually filmed in somebody's basement! No joke. You can see the tiny basement window and the cheap hung ceiling actually hangs a bit below the window!

The acting is miserable, the special effects amount to a shrew muppet that someone is holding off camera. Maybe $45 were spent on the special effects.

Poorly directed, like most Troma movies.

Unfortunately, even tho this is sort of a comedic satire on the original movie which was pretty good for a low budget flick, the humor is lost with the very poor writing.
