"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.
