				"Ahhhhhh! Run! It's a 
				monster! Ahhh!" – 
				Made that up... I have to  
				watch this again to get a quote. 
				Why watch this? 
				Space monsters, giant turtles, aliens, volcanoes. Just throw it 
				all in! 
				Plot Summary: A 
				space probe returning to Earth is hijacked by an alien amoeba. 
				After crashing into the Pacific Ocean, the alien entity takes 
				over native lifeforms on a remote island, transforming them into 
				giant monsters. A team of researchers and islanders must then 
				find a way to stop these colossal creatures and prevent the 
				aliens from achieving their goal of conquering Earth. Dad's Preview: 
				As expected, some of the Toto monster films (and there are a TON 
				of them) are bad. Bad plot. Bad Effects. Bad voice dubbing. This 
				entry, as we love to say, "Is so 
				bad, it's good." As a 10-year-old, I remember many 
				nightmares of the gigantic squid creature, with those glowing red eyes, 
				chasing me along a deserted beach line. I was luckily 
				rescued by my Mom, shaking me awake and holding me tight.
