Humongous (1982) (Canada)

aka Dog Island

⭐️⭐️

The monstrous offspring of a rape that took place more than three decades ago knocks off a group of shipwrecked youngsters on the remote island it calls home. The stranded group do a little exploring as their numbers dwindle down and unearth the secluded place’s dark history... not that it does them much good. The strong opening featuring the stomach churning rape (don’t worry, the rapist piece of garbage gets immediate comeuppance thanks to some loyal German Shepherds) and the suitably moody opening titles are let down by a somewhat unmemorable cast (with the exception of super cute Joy Boushel and super annoying John Wildman) and a bunch of wandering. The killer remains off screen for most of the flick which is a damn shame because he is suitably ugly and brutal. There are a few highlights hiding in its runtime but all in all it’s an easily skippable slasher flick.
