VOD: Monster Island (dir: Mark Atkins, 2019)

"Something is there...."

...certainly not King Kong, Godzilla or other great kaiju of recent movie spectaculars.  Monster Island is one of the weaker mockbusters from The Asylum, where a thin script and cheap settings are not overcome by the performances, here achieving the remarkable feat of the actors seeming to be giving such a range of performances it is as if they were in different movies.  Achieving a coherent movie under tight budgetary circumstances is always to be applauded, but the end result is simply quite dull here.
