In
the early seventies a few dipshit smugglers accidentally lose
a batch of komodo dragon eggs in Florida, or some other swampy-ass
state. A few years later the Connaly family while on vacation
will fall victim to the dragons, who have now mutated into giant
versions of themselves, even the family dog is devoured. Only
little Patrick, the youngest member of the family, is spared the
pleasure of passing through the reptiles poopchute. However a
few more years later Patrick's therapist Victoria decides that
Patrick needs to go back to the beach house and confront his past
and fears. But will the past still be there?
Very
boring and totally unbelievable, but at least the komodo effects
are actually kinda good, well other than a few close-ups that
look like one of those inflatable alligators you put in pool.
The
plot is the worst thing and the fact that these dragons grow bigger
than cars and no one ever notices them is absurd, throw in the
local law agents who are tracking a bad guy and you got your standard
creature flick formula. This one would have worked in the 50's
but the cliché is just worn out.
The
actors are stale and as bored as me, but you do get a good look
at Jill Hennessy soaking wet, although it is not as good as Kirsten
Dunst in Spiderman, damn she is fine. The effects as I said above
are good for this kind of movie, above average at least. Only
the close ups really suck, but from afar the komodos look pretty
good, even when chasing down a jeep.
If
you like Anaconda, Boa,
Python or any of those winners
than Komodo is your cup of tea.
2/10
