Review of Zarkorr! The Invader (1996) by Robert H — 30 Dec 2010
Attempting to capitalize on the popularity of Godzilla, Full Moon launched a separate Monster Island Entertainment line which produced this terrible excuse of a kaiju movie.
Critics have panned it from the day it was released and with good reason.
The actors aren't great, some of the acting is plain awful (the computer hacker is just plain annoying) and the actual monster is hardly used in the film at all.
The city that gets destroyed is a reused set piece from the film Shrunken Heads. While it makes for a good opening and end sequence, it also means every shot of Zarkorr destroying a city, is the exact same city model thus making everything look the same.
But there is some good to be had here as the monster suit and the FX are standard Full Moon fare which means they are pretty decent.
Had the Godzillalike monster been used a good deal more (and on different sets) this film might have been more entertaining. As it is, I can only hope that Zarkorr doesn't get a chance to invade your television set.
