ARACHNIA meets LAKE PLACID.......2006-05-01

Just one geneticly engineered komodo dragon goes around a small island attacking people, either eating them or turning them into zombies (I'm being completely serious here).

There's almost no gore, below average acting, writing, and special effects, and some uncalled for, not to mention out-of-place, nudity.

Stay away if you don't want to bring yourself 92 minutes closer to death. Life is too short for cruddy movies like this.

I want my 92 minutes back!.......2005-05-31

Absolutely the worst plot - OK, maybe tied with Solarbabies as the worst plot ever.

So let's get this straight. You're a genetic scientist, you get your secret governmental funding from some upstart Navy commander who pays for your project out of petty cash and that empty coffee can next to the bottled water, you create giant carnivores to feed the world, left your daughter trapped on a deserted island with afore mention beasts for a meeting that you could have used your 1920's era two way radio for, power the "electric fence" and your only defense with a Honda generator the size of a shoebox, just happen to keep extra guns and explosives in that old shack a few miles away, know how to assembly any weapon but cant hit the broad side of a barn, just happen to keep some grain alcohol on hand for those downtrodden commando helicopter pilots that stop by for brunch, and you cant wait to sacrifice yourself to save the love of your life.

Right...... It all becomes so clear now.

Smells of Elderberries..........2005-05-13

This film stinks, there is just no way around it. Nonetheless, I had to give it two stars for incredible creativity in the face of overwhelming adversity. Truly, this is an amalgam of about five different concepts all put together in a blender. The plots concern (in rough order of importance): a military operation headed by a brilliant scientist and his daughter/niece (there seems some confusion on that point in the script) to grow giant komodo dragons the size of school buses alternately for military operations or as a food source to feed the world's hungry (Ponder.); a bunch of dimwitted casino robbers who serve to chew the scenery and in turn be chewed by the komodos; a government conspiracy plot having to do with bombing civilians; a couple of would-be love stories that go exactly nowhere; and a confusing object lesson about the importance of good transmission maintenance in helicopters.

Of course this mostly takes place on a deserted island inhabited by CGI lizards, and takes us past brief glimpses of beautiful waterfalls and pointless nudity that is so utterly predictable, yet illogical, as to be totally laughable. The computer generated lizards aren't the worst I have seen, honestly; and to be frank, some of the acting isn't too bad (I'm thinking of the scientist and the helicopter pilot here.)

The film is entertaining in a silly, B-movie manner. It is really not high in production values (I am especially fond of the use of obvious stock footage and sticks with lights on them representing an electric fence) but is fun in a quirky, schlocky kind of way.

Curse of the Cheap Knockoff.......2005-01-13

Fake blondes, fake boobs, fake broad--and a realistic-looking reptile that's treated so unrealistically that the characters appear to be shooting at a theme-park dinosaur! Thousands of rounds are blasted at the behemoth without it sustaining a single nick. The firing goes on and on, as though the director is struggling to fill an allotted time frame. (Other snail-paced sequences include a bra-less, cavorting babe and a macho mesmerized by an overflying aircraft while a copter offers a quick sprint to survival.) The viewer's sympathies are bound to veer toward the beast, which somehow manages to gulp down the hapless without squirting out a drop of blood. And then there's the germ-zapped zombies who pop up like actors who stumbled onto the wrong set. The creators of this miserable flick should have let the mostly competent actors simply ad lib the whole production. Then, no doubt, the audience would have been spared the absurdity of an is-something-wrong? line in the midst of a life-or-death debacle!

UGGGH!!!!.......2004-09-07

"Night of the Komodo" poses quite a few questions to the viewer, like what is the bigger thing in this movie, the Komodo, or the breast implants adorning the female stars, or could it be the false eyelashes also found on our damsels in distress? Another question posed; is red an actual eye color? The hero/head casino robber/muscle bound star looks like he just finished toking up before each scene and his eyes were the bloodiest part of this lame flick. The storyline is assinine, a doctor supposedly trying to create giant food, mistakenly creates these giant Komodo dragons instead, chalk that one up in the ooops column. I should have known better than to buy this turkey, but it was only $2 used, so once again I was subjected to a direct to video, "hey guys I borrowed my brother's camcorder let's go make a movie", lame excuse for a film. You know your in trouble when the movie begins and it's shot on video and not film!!! Avoid this thing at all cost!
