A team of geologists collaborate with the New Zealand Coast Guard in fighting against two kaiju in battle with one another: a giant starfish dubbed Tengu that spawns dragon-like offspring, and the golem-like Walking Mountain.

Monster Island was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa; Los Angeles, California; and New Zealand.

[3][4] Monster Island aired twice in its television premiere on June 1, 2019.

Exactly twelve days later, it was released on DVD on June 13.

But… but, if you're like me and live for these cheesy, gloriously over-the-top, B-movies then there's a LOT to recommend about Monster Island.
