Overview

Horrifying shocker as a biological experiment goes haywire when meat-eating mutant roaches invade an island community, terrorizing a peaceful New England fishing village and hideously butchering its citizens.

    _**The basic “Jaws” plot, but with a different threat**_ Some kind of carnivorous creature is preying on people & animals on an island off the coast of Southern Cal. The Sheriff (Franc Luz) becomes increasingly troubled as he investigates the curious deaths while the mayor seems to be hiding something (Robert Lansing). Lisa Langlois plays the latter’s daughter visiting from the mainland. “The Nest” (1987) takes the “Jaws” plot and simply inserts another creature. "Dead & Buried" (1981) did the same thing, but added something original. This one is routine yet still entertaining if you like...
