A mediocre film with laughable creatures, minimal tension and underdeveloped characters but with numerous martinis and a well stocked bar being the only redeeming feature! A film best enjoyed after several martinis.

Trailer
A remote and isolated island,
Infested with flesh-eating monstrous giant shrews!
Populated by a small band of humans,
Cut off and stranded by a hurricane!
How did the vicious shrews come to be there?
What will become of the trapped humans?
