comment
Humongous is a Slasher Movie from the year 1982. It was directed by Paul Lynch, who also did Prom Night two years earlier.A bunch of kids (and one guy they picked up) are stranded on an island as their boat hits rocks and sinks. That's too bad, as the island is inhabited by a deformed killer who starts hunting them for food.

Tempting Fate: "It's okay. He's dead!" To Eric's credit, he does hit the killer more than once before turning to Sandy and saying that.

Angry Guard Dog: Dog Island got its name from the dogs that Ida used to guard her privacy with. With her death, her son ended up killing the things for food.

Alas, Poor Villain: After the killer gets stabbed and is dying, he makes absolutely pitiful moans indicating how he doesn't want to die. And then we see his Nightmare Face and even Sandy feels sorry for him.

Who Forgot The Lights?
 Humongous / int_e6299112
comment
Who Forgot The Lights?: The filming crew couldn't produce decent lighting with electricity due to the remote location of the set. The end result is the characters running in almost pitch-black darkness. Some poor quality home video releases contribute further to this, making the characters run in total pitch black darkness.
