| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIf you get a few laughs from the bizarre acting and dumb story, that's the most you can expect from this bad film. |
| Suite101.comRob HumanickNot particularly watchable until the climax. |
| User ReviewErin KHA! I can't believe this movie is on here. I actually have seen this one, strangely enough. I rated it high because it is worth is just for the ridiculous nature of the film. I especially liked the part where the people try to run away from the shrews by crawling around with barrels over them. Hilarious! Of course this was on tv at like 3 am, so maybe I just thought it was funny. |
| User ReviewJaney BMost brilliant piece of cinema I have ever encountered. |
| User ReviewJesse!this movie was absolutely ridiculous but i loved it. it was a fun movie,a little racist considering they kill the black guy,then the mexican, but i still liked it |
| User ReviewKitral SHilarious in Mystery Science Theater 3000, otherwise, lame. |
| User ReviewMaxx Hstellar movie. well ahead of its time on the science aspects. must see as a classic (: |
| User ReviewDominic FMilestone film of the late 50s, it broke the mold and had a lot to answer for, If you get a chance to see this, pass it up at your one peril. The amazing special effects such as dogs with shrew masks on have yet to be bettered! |
| User ReviewAndrew SThis movie is amazing. Any older film like this just kicks ass. Its sad that 89% dont wanna see this and only 11% do. old films are amazing people need to get around the black and white shit. |
| User ReviewGrëg Wthis movie is so stupid that i love to watch it over and over again. the "shrews" are basically dogs with carpet glued to them. the end scene alone is excellent and probably the best reason to see this movie as it is singlehandedly the craziest idea ever though up. |
