Komodo (eng)
Komodo follows the grisly and terrifying adventures of a 15-year old boy, Patrick, who bears mthe insufferable loss of his family in a horrific ordeal with Komodo dragons, the real-life predators. Now silent and traumatised, Patrick's wealthy grandmother hires Dr Victoria Juno to treat Patrick. She realises that the best way to dislodge Patrick's memories is to return him to the scene of his terror - the island whose explosive and wily inhabitants robbed him of his loved ones. But when they returned to the island, they are met with deadly and horrendous consequences. Patrick and Dr Juno not only come face-to-face with their greatest fears, but together are forced to take on insurmountable odds in order to rescue each other.
Starring: Jill Hennessy, Kevin Zegers, Paul Gleeson, Simon Westaway, Billy Burke
 
 
Review by David Chan and Andrew Ngan

From the writer of Anaconda and the producers of Deep Blue Sea. This movie is actually similar to Anaconda, but this time, the snakes have legs and are known as komodo dragons.

The story begins 19 summers ago, when a truck driver threw the eggs of the komodo dragons on a remote island, the Emerald Isle. Thus, these reptiles start to reproduce and roam that isle.

19 summers later, Patrick Conolly (Kevin Zegers), a 15 year-old kid, visits the isle with his parents. By that time, an oil company has also settled down there. The parents then died tragically, killed savagely by the carnivorous dragons. Patrick then suffers from bad memories, after seeing how his parents were devoured. In comes Victoria Juno (Jill Hennessy), a psychiatrist who wants to help Patrick recover from his trauma.

She brings Patrick back to the isle to 'heal' his memory. In the mean time, Oates (Billy Burke), a biologist, is hired to kill the reptiles together with Denby (Paul Gleeson).

The dragons thus start killing everyone they see. Then they start running about the island, miraculously killing all the reptiles as they go by (pretty much expected).

This movie barely passes for a B-grade movie.

Pros: The special effects of this show is quite credible and showcases a few cheap thrills. The beginning is quite commendable.

Cons: Not worth paying the price of the ticket. If you've watched Anaconda, don't bother watching this movie. This lousy movie has a lousy dialogue with a lousy ending.
