Jason Ney delivers a balanced, insightful deep dive into the cult B-movie classic; "The Killer Shrews". Acknowledging its infamous "men in rugs" shrew costumes and problematic racial stereotypes, Ney contextualizes the film as an efficient, suspense-driven product of its low-budget, double-feature era.

The film is praised for its surprising strengths: tight direction, atmospheric tension, Ken Curtis’s solid lead performance, and a script that subtly subverts 1950s gender roles by positioning Ingrid Goude’s character as the true protagonist. Ney argues that despite its flaws, The Killer Shrews remains an enduringly entertaining piece of drive-in cinema – a "well-oiled machine" of practical filmmaking that maximizes its limitations. Essential viewing for fans of vintage sci-fi and creature features!
