When a remote Pacific island becomes the setting for a series of mysterious attacks, visiting scientist Adam Baldwin and son Emilio Hirsch discover that it's something more than the presumed shark attack. When Hirsch discovers a man sized baby lizard that looks like an overgrown gecko, he be friends at and decides to hide it from the adults when they capture uneven bigger one, one that obviously has a huge appetite. Then a boat out at night doing some research discovers uneven bigger one, and before you know it, it's a giant lizard feasting ground that leaves the tourists trapped.
This started off engaging but when you get to see the giant salamanders or mutated frogs or whatever these things are supposed to be, you realize that this is as bad as the pre-"Jurassic Park" dino disaster "Baby" about a kidnapped baby brontosaurus. at least that film had the excuse that it was made before Spielberg's epic series but this one come on five years after the first of the Jurassic films has none.
Typical plot devices that you see in pretty much every film likes this take over, and squabbles amongst the natives and foreigners who have settled there and Taurus become almost comical period at one point a restaurant owner who has settled there from New Zealand refers to it has his island, comically put down by a native who reminds him of what island really is his. Not bad as a distraction and certainly better than the more recent Asylum films of similar nature, but that is not saying much.
