Best of Schlock 2000

First-time director, but longtime FX guru, Michael Lantieri (Jurassic Park) and screenwriter Hans Bauer (Anaconda) both know the nature-run-amok formula well, but they extend this creature feature to a superior level of smaller-budget filmmaking. It's the story of an island infested with 15-foot Komodos whose natural food sources died, leaving people as lizard chow du jour. No breasts. Five corpses. Six dead beasts. Station wagon munching. One doggie snack. Deadly drool. Best line is from young Patrick who isn't hopeful about the dragons' intentions, "I think they're contesting our place on the food chain." Highly Recommended.
