When the first confirmed kill happens in this movie, I was thrilled. Not because of the kill, but because it looked like this movie was going to go old school with the special effects. Arms ripped off, blood spitting out like a bad fuel pump. You know, the classics. Too bad they didn't stick with it.
The owner of the Primal Park on this remote Fiji island has lured investors to view the beginnings of his dream. a hotel, amusement park, and the main attraction - a zoo. The zoo will house these sabretooth cats that man has not seen in hundreds of thousands of years. He has brought two, ... no, three, to life via DNA research. All of this sounds like a very familiar plot line, except on this island, we have five college kids who are on a scavenger hunt. I am still trying to figure out how they got invited to the island.
One of the college guys, disables the security system so that they all can get into the restricted areas and hunt for their objects. And while disabling the system, the idiot releases a virus. Good job. It's not enough that you are hacking into the security for your own little game, but now you have made it so the cats can roam around the island.
These are no ordinary sabretooth cats. They are bulimic too. So they kill to eat, but can't keep the food down and have to kill some more. And one of the cats has trouble with its hind legs.
There are some COOL DEATH SCENE ALERTS with people being decapitated and guts being pulled out of people. Pools of blood, and I mean pools of blood, pour out of several victims. All of the things that work well in these types of B movies. Gratuitous TV sex (lacks nudity) in the beginning as well.
The story could use a lot of work. The characters are not memorable. And they probably could have a little more over the top gore in the kill scenes. But overall, ... not that bad of a bad movie.
I give this movie 2 out of 5 conch shells.
