Another escapee from direct-to-video hell.

 

Review by Donner

Komodo "On Emerald Island, you are at the bottom of the food chain." Directed by Michael Lantieri Writing credits: Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell Starring Bill Hennessy, Billy Burke, and Kevin Zegers  Rated PG-13 for monster violence and language

Oh... good... God. An island is overrun by giant Komodo Dragons!  Gah! Actually, for being a direct to video horror movie, this ain't so bad.  It's a popcorn flick for a quick and stupid scare... a movie that is so bad, it's got that charm to it that you just can't help but like.  So corny that it's funny, but the cheese hits a fever pitch when the central fifteen year old character goes Rambo, strips off his shirt, and begins killing the man-eating lizards single-handedly. It's a classic horror movie where there's a monster that can eat you, characters make stupid mistakes, and all actions defy all logic.  I loved it!  Amazingly, the CGI lizards actually look good.  Rent this one for bad horror movie night.
