Movie Review: Return of the Killer Shrews (2013, Coal Train Productions/Retromedia)

...in our last gripping episode, Capt. Thorne Sherman, genetics scientist Marlowe Cragis, his daughter, Ann, and the jealous Jerry Farrell (...eh, understandable, seeing that Sherman...whether he meant to or not, was horning in on Jerry's babe) were forced outside of their storm-weakened adobe shelter, and into the high-gated compound, surrounding the vulnerable and dilapidated shelter. The voraciously monstrous shrews, amassed just outside the compound, were digging, digging, digging...trying to force their way into the compound, to get at the juicy human morsels, within. With mere moments before the hungry creatures break through, Capt. Sherman devises a desperate, though most clever plan: Four large steel chemical drums, lashed together...cutting into the drums, eye ports just large enough to see through...with the idea being that each of them get inside the overturned tank-like drum structure, and with great caution, as to not get bit by the poisonous shrews, duck-walk out of the compound, down to the beach waters, and out to Sherman's boat, waiting just off shore. Jerry, in seeing this plan as ludicrous, takes to what he believes is a secure position on the shelter's rooftop. And the other three, with some difficulty, indeed shuffle out of the compound, and down to the safety of the beach waters, with dozens of shrews, nipping at their heels. Swimming out to the boat, Sherman, Cragis and his daughter breathe a sigh of relief, as they put the horrors of the island behind them...as well as Jerry, who for all intent and purpose, has been left to the voracious whims of the monstrous killer shrews...Or has he??...
