Viewing Notes

Easily the best of the bunch because Michael Moriarty! His opening scenes as the defendant in the court case surely was his audition for his role on LAW & ORDER!

Here, a group of five mutant babies get exiled to an undisclosed uninhabited island to live out their lives naturally but away from other humans so as not to pose a threat to them.

Except that people keep intruding on the island, including a group of sport hunters who arrive via helicopter only to get slaughtered by the creatures who are growing up!

A bunch more nonsense ensues but the highlight here is Moriarty’s acting of course. Pretty fun way to end the night!
