shrew

If you had your choice, would you rather be attacked by a crazed shrew or a crazed giant leech?


Having trouble deciding? There's a double feature showing tonight that'll lay it all out for you.


"The Killer Shrews," made in 1959 by Ray Kellogg, tells the story of an island, a hurricane and stranded humans terrorized by ferocious fur balls.


"Attack of the Giant Leeches," also from 1959, was directed by Bernard Kowalski and tells of a community where people start disappearing and where a mysterious creature lurks about.


The double feature, which closes the "Attack of the B Movies" series, is today at 7 p.m. at Showcase Cinemas Buckland Hills, 99 Red Stone Road in Manchester; and Connecticut Post 14 Cinema de Lux is at 1201 Boston Post Road in Milford.
