Synopsis by Matthew Tobey
The debut feature from cult filmmaker Nathan Schiff is a sci-fi horror flick with a title that says it all. Starring Schiff regular John Smihula, Weasels Rip My Flesh centers on a rodent that grows to giant proportions when it is exposed to a mysterious substance brought to Earth from Venus. After the weasel terrorizes a small town, leaving a trail of carnage in its path, it is captured by a mad scientist who hopes to breed the monster and use the resulting bloodthirsty army to carry out his plan for world domination. Fred Borges and Jody Kadish also star.
