This was hard going. Very hard going. I wanted to like it but it's an ugly looking film - the Philippines are not shown off to the best advantage. The photography is murky and marred by this agonisingly annoying zoom stuff.
There's three plots none of them that interesting or well developed - John Ashley (awkward and uncomfortable for some reason) turns up investigating green blood, Angelique Pettyjohn (who is terrible) is looking for her dad, and some other guy is searching for his mother. Ronald Remy is the mad doctor. The best performer is Alicia Alonzo as a minxy local girl who can't get enough love - yeah I know that's a cliche but so is everything else and at least Alonzo commits.
It's dull and unexciting. The monster is laughable and there isn't even any gore. They throw in a sexy scene between Ashley and Pettyjohn and Alonzo and a guy, but even that isn't exciting.
