The Lizard is a 2023 sci-fi monster movie about a giant mutant reptile created by pollution. But the creature isn’t the only massive marauder and the beasts soon clash.
Zheng Wenzheng directed the film. The Chinese production stars Shen Zhenxuan, Cao Yixue, Tao Jingyi, Chen Liang and Ye Qian.
Plot:
A mutated monitor lizard is accidentally formed in a factory in a Southeast Asian country due to sewage discharge. Boss Wu Dechang ordered foreman Hu Tianzhao to go to the foot of the mountain to gather a group of villagers to destroy the rampaging beast. Hu Tianming, the best hunter in the village, and zoologist Zhao Xiaoye find the monitor lizard’s home by studying its biological habits. However, the giant lizard is far more ferocious than imagined. After a series of pursuits, everyone becomes trapped in the factory…
Review:
“The film runs only 75 minutes but feels considerably longer. While the mayhem is reasonably well-handled, there are really only three chunks of it. This leaves a good deal of time to be taken up by other stuff that is not very interesting Its effects are no great shakes […] The script could use some more work too, with it often unclear which are the effects of the toxic waste, and which are due to the conveniently-located fragments of meteorite…” Rating: C-Film Blitz
