The Killer Shrews (1959)



..There's a fine line between making a dog of a movie & using dogs in your movie.  The Killer Shrews is almost brilliant in it's cheapness by throwing rugs over coon dogs & trying to pass it off as something watchable.  It benefits from having Dukes of Hazzard favorite James Best who tries to help the rest of the cast keep a leave head until the martinis run out.  They are basically the last pork chops in the fridge for the killer shrews who like Rosie O'Donnell must eat 3 times their weight a day.  Best helps a few escape to his boat but not before the remainder are puppy chow.  There is a sequel to this made some 54 years later but w/ James Best now dead I think Bruce Willis should take over the franchise.  He has no problem taming shrews
