Humongous (1982)

Embassy Pictures
Directed by Paul Lynch
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Scorpion Releasing)

Teens joyriding on a yacht get stranded on an island after hitting some rocks. Teens become prey for wild man who hunts them for food. They stumble around an old house looking for clues to his past. Only one of them will survive. The characters rarely rise above stereotypes and the monster looks like Andre the Giant. The DVD release from Scorpion Releasing is a vast improvement over the old VHS tape, you can actually make out what is happening in the frequent dark scenes, which do provide an occasional atmospheric moment.
