A ship lands at an island and the sailors visit a scientist who is experimenting with size changing. He has created vicious dog-sized shrews with a poisonous bite. The people have social drama while escaping from the island.
The social drama amidst survival conflict reminded me of sci-fi channel 1990s and 2000s features. I think that they may have used these old science fiction films as "cut and paste" templates for their modern films. I was amazed that the people came up with a smart solution to the problem of getting them to the boat waiting offshore. The plot was stupid and the characters stereotypical and shallow. The style was standard and genereic. Audio and video standard and generic for the date as well. I did not actually see the screenshot because the "killer shrews" were only shown very briefly to hide the lack of proper special effects. Apparently, they were dogs in costumes and stuffed models shaken vigorously. I would not watch it again. I rate it poor. You probably shouldn't watch it unless you're wondering where the "syfy" channel gets it's source material to make new films out of.
