Storyline
Marine biologist Jack Ellway and his son Brandon are drawn to the Polynesian island of Malau to study the effects of recent seismic activity on the area's marine life. Along with the local doctor Alyson Hart, they soon become caught up in the investigation of a series of recent drownings with unexpected results. As Jack explores the surrounding ocean for a mysterious marine creature, Brandon discovers and befriends a three-foot-long baby creature that is able to leave the ocean and walk on land. As more dangerous and giant creatures come onto the island, and the military begins to take offensive action, Jack must risk everything to save the creatures, the island and his son.

Although I didn't expect much from this flick, except maybe a B-movie with bad FX that didn't take itself too seriously, I was flabbergasted by how bad this thing stank. The special Defects were so incredibly crappy that for a moment I suspected the monsters were blue-screen filmed muppets. The acting was bad, the script had bigger holes in it than an old, washed up Blue Whale prostitute and the environmental awareness bit was laughable.
But even after all of this, it still was better than Godzilla. Now that was Crap with a capital C and a big wad of dough stuck in it.
