And todays new word is "D R O S S."

dross |drôs; dräs|
noun
something regarded as worthless; rubbish : there are bargains if you have the patience to sift through the dross.
• foreign matter, dregs, or mineral waste, in particular scum formed on the surface of molten metal.

There is no mystery on mystery island. The 'monsters" are as scary as inflatables seen in a cheesy parade. Acting is subpar and the script, below what you'd run across in student projects.

Go away. Save the 90 minutes for something worthwhile.........like a root canal.

Agreed. This flick was complete dross. But I still dug it for its gloriously tacky cheesiness alone.

I'm a totally bitchin' bio writer from Mars!

I had such low expectations going into it that it was somewhat enjoyable. The cheap green frog monsters were icing on the cake.

I was half watching because Peter Cushing and Terrence Stamp was in it. I saw the green monsters holding flares on the boat and at first assumed it was a practical joke being played on the fancy boys.
