Could this be worse?

"If this isn't the worst movie I've ever seen, it's right up there. I should have been tipped off when the opening credits listed the cast, crew and producers as all being the same few people. It lists 2 or 3 different production companies that still could not come up with more than the [...] it took to make this loser.

The basic story is that a documentary crew crashes on a remote Island they're scoping out as the possible habitat for some number of jaguars that shouldn't be there, as the Island is too small and too remote to sustain them. As it turns out there aren't any jaguars there but whatever the creatures are they're picking off the crew members one by one until the last one manages to get rescued at the final moment.

Most of the movie consists of boring conversations between the female director and her fawning cameraman. Given the situation, nothing they say or do seems to be in tune with their situation. They don't seem overly concerned that they cannot find their alcoholic pilot who does manage to show up at camp every now and then for no particular reason. Nor do they go out of their way to try and find the other members of their crew. It is also peculiar that when the director manages to radio for help, and is told help is on the way, they don't think to light a great fire on the beach or perform some other task that might clue someone in as to their whereabouts.

This movie stinks from front to back. The only saving grace might be for guys only as they do flash some boobs in a couple of scenes but that's it. When they do reveal the true nature of the beasts in the final scene it's somewhere between terrible and laughable. Do not waste your time.
