3.0 out of 5 stars Beauty is in the eye.., September 25, 2005
Not all horror movies are classics, let's get that straight. But for those of you who appreciate monstrous killers, moody settings, and Janet Julian, Humongous is the flick for you. Yes it is typical of the genre. Idiot kids destroy thier boat, wash ashore on what they believe to be a deserted island, and run afoul of death. What seperates this movie from others of its ilk is the mood created by this film. Dark, well scored, and of decent acting, Humongous may be considered a hidden gem.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very, very rare movie!, August 6, 2001
By AFP "Al" (Canada) - See all my reviews
If your a collector of rare movies get this one, it might even be in the places you might least expect, maybe even in a second-hand store. I had this title, the discontinued original copy but traded it for another movie. The acting is bad but it's alittle interesting to watch as are most B films, I can't give you much explanation except at the beggining a woman gets raped and the dogs of the island kill the man who raped her. Then some teenagers were stranded on the island and there is some sort of monster chasing them around and so on. Well like I said buy it for a cheap laugh!

2.0 out of 5 stars Snore-Fest, February 11, 2002
By M. Nelson (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Even for slasher fans, this flick may be a chore to sit through. Besides the fact you never get a half-decent chance to see the main monster/bad guy, all of the outdoor night scenes are so incredibly dark and muddy you're actually left to guess what's going on. (I'm not exaggerating, either.) Definitely a by-the-books slasher film in all other regards, but without the early-80's blood and gore. Only recommended for insomniacs.
