The premise
Morgan and his friends are on a hunting trip on a remote Canadian island when they are attacked by a swarm of giant wasps. Looking for help, Morgan stumbles across a barn inhabited by an enormous killer chicken. After doing some exploring, they discover the entire island is crawling with animals that have somehow grown to giant size. The most dangerous of all of these, however, are the rats, who are mobilizing to do battle with the human intruders.
Horror Vault's take
A hunting trip to a secluded Canadian island turns into a desperate fight for survival when a group of visitors discover the local wildlife has grown to monstrous proportions. Giant wasps, oversized chickens, and enormous rats are just some of the horrors lurking on this seemingly ordinary island. Loosely inspired by H.G. Wells, this 1970s creature feature leans hard into practical effects mayhem and B-movie thrills. Outnumbered and cut off from the mainland, the survivors must find a way to hold off an increasingly coordinated animal onslaught.
