Aberration (1997)
Article 6094 by David Sindelar
Directed by Tim Boxell
Featuring Pamela Gidley, Simon Bossell, Valeriy Nikolaev
Country: New Zealand
What it is: Leapin' Lizards
A woman trying to escape her past moves into an isolated cabin in the woods unaware that the area has an infestation of killer mutant lizards.
This is a basic variation on the mutant killer species sub-genre similar to EMPIRE OF THE ANTS or KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS. It's bloodier and heavier on the gross-out factor of the earlier movies, but at least it has a sense of humor. It isn't particularly convincing, but the leads are appealing enough that you might forgive it some of its flaws. There are only five characters in the movie, one of which is the requisite local color warning the heroine to escape while she still can. All in all, an adequate time killer.
