Is Jim Wynorski kidding us? This is so bad, that calling it a "B" movie, insults the genre. If there is such a category, this is definitely a "Z" movie, and not in a way that it's so bad, it's good, either. Most of those "guilty pleasures" films are at least comical. This is so inane, you can't even laugh, because you're stunned at the lack of everything that makes a film worth making and watching. First, the casting is atrocious, not a fledgling actor among the whole lot of them. Some casting agent must be banging soft-core porn actress, Glori Ann Gilbert, for her to have been cast, as she may possibly be the worst, most dimwitted actress of all time. Just peruse her filmography on IMDb and you'll get the picture. Perhaps "Curse of the Komodo" was a 3-fer picture deal with "The Breastford Wives" and "The Witches of Breastwick" and that's why it's so awful. Second, the dialog is silly, smarmy, exaggerated, ridiculous, etc. I could go on for days with adjectives describing how deficient it is. The writer must really harbor contempt for the audience, since this is possibly the most moronic dialog, I've ever heard. Third, speaking of deficient, how about the plot? What plot? What little there is isn't even good enough to be cliché sci-fi/horror flick plot. Here's an example of the nonsense. As the genetically engineered, giant Komodo dragon looms over the group of characters, one character says "he can smell us, but he can't see us. We're too close." Then then female lead runs away from the group, and the dragon. Apparently she's not bright enough to run to safety. This bimbo runs just far enough away so that the dragon can see her, and she's backed up to a tree, with nowhere else to go. Then she cowers down against the tree as though she's thinking "if I make myself very small, the monster won't eat me". She jumps out of the frying pan into the fire! Then she worsens the situation by shooting at the dragon with a pea shooter, annoying him. How clever, and we're supposed to believe this woman is the type who can survive a situation like this? One of the characters is bitten by the Komodo and left for dead by the group. He pops up later, after having morphed into cannibalistic, reptile brained zombie ala "Dawn of the Dead", "28 Days Later" and "Resident Evil". He jumps out, makes them pee their pants, and they shoot him all to hell. Finally, the end really ticked me off, because it made it glaringly apparent that the writers didn't do their research, on the species they were exploiting in the film. In the finale, just as the last characters think they have escaped, and are on the beach awaiting their rescue transport, a gang of Komodos come toward them, THE END. Hello? Komodos are solitary creatures, they track prey by scent for days, ALONE! They're an ANCIENT species of reptile, that adapted and escaped the last mass extinction. Their brains aren't sophisticated enough to communicate to each other and launch an attack en masse, much less storm the beach to get their prey!

My lord, who made this film. I don't understand if people want to make a low budget T.V. monster movie, why don't they show more monsters. There isn't enough in this film. They all focus on the humans acts to escape, which no one cares about. I'm not surprised that bout 3/4th's of this cast has most likely appeared in a porno. The only interesting thing I thought was amazing, were the random zombies that are thrown in as a side effect to the komodo's saliva. Lame? or super-amazing? hey there zombies can't get much cooler then that. The story is simple. People want to solve world hunger, government gets interested and gives them a komodo(s). They get big and eat people. Well a group of criminals are thrown in for a sub-plot that lasts around 30 sec. None of the actors are interesting and I often confuse this movie with "Komodo vs. Cobra", which is literally th exact same story but with cobras thrown in too. Special effects are average for a T.V. movie but I still feel they should be much better for the year the film was made. I swear this film was a porno but all the sex was removed and they kept one nude scene in then added more pointless dialog. 2/10

Um...okay. So I saw the preview on IMDb, and the first thing that came to mind was 'Gumby'. That's what I thought of when I saw the lizards. The only reason I looked this up in the first place was because my friend said it was the worst movie in existence; he'd seen it at three in the morning on the sci-fi channel. Red flag 1, red flag 2. So as a joke, I bought the DVD off Amazon for like, four bucks with S&H and gave it to him for Christmas, but not before browsing a few scenes myself. Here are some facts the producers ought to have considered while making this big, big piece of crap movie.1) Even though komodo dragons are cold-blooded, THEY STILL BLEED WHEN YOU SHOOT THEM. 2) When you shoot a gun IT TENDS TO RUN OUT OF BULLETS. 3) If you're going to put in a porn star in a random, tactless skinny-dipping scene, at least get her to tan in a bathing suit SMALLER than the one she'll be wearing in the movie, not BIGGER. 4) Skinny dipping scenes are no good if the chicks are brown-baggers. 5) Don't recycle footage from other movies. 6) If you have two F-14s at the beginning of a mission, make sure they are still F-14s at the end of the scene (one turned into an F-16).As for the rest...wow this movie blows.

First of all, I have to say that I'm a great fan of Jim Wynorski (the director)and of Glori-Anne Gilbert (Rebecca), a wonderful actress and a beautiful woman! The only fact that they were united in this project made me sure that it would certainly be a masterpiece. I was not disappointed! I warmly recommend this work of art to everybody... If you happened to like this movie as much as I did, I can recommend some other titles that are really worthwhile... First of all, Boa vs. Python. I saw it recently and still have not been able to get over it. Besides, there are some other classics: Treasure Hunt (2003), Raptor (2001), Gargoyles (2004). All of which are directed by Jim Wynorsky. Besides that, I'm really looking forward to the release of Komodo vs. Cobra, featuring the exquisite Glori-Anne Gilbert.
