Director: Larry Cohen
Star: Michael Moriarty, Karen Black, Laurene Landon
Jarvis is in court defending
his "child" the right to live, but the court is questioning
the safety of others until Jarvis proves that his "child" is
safe. The judge decides to place the
"baby" on a desert island that the government owns. There are already other babies there, so why
not. Jarvis travels there with doctors
to release his child in the jungle to live free. They get attacked by the other babies that
have now grown up. Jarvis escapes on one
of the boats and lands in Miami.
At a shitty late 80's punk rock/new wave bar, whatever, you
meet Jarvis wife, Ellen, played by the great Karen Black. The couple had become famous because of their
mutant child, so she left him and went into hiding. She wants nothing to do with him or their
child.
There was a boats left on Mutant Island, that's what I'm
calling it, so the grown mutants show up on the shores of Miami. They want to kill and find their parents.
This third installment was made 9 years after the second
one, so it was an attempt to make a trilogy, but maybe they should have left
the movies in the 70's where they belong.
It did give Karen Black some work though.
