“You already know what they referred to as that place?” a man who seems rather a lot like Bobby from “Supernatural” says within the opening shot, dramatically unfolding a map. “Cranium Island.” Then we’re off to the races, with a shot of a large octopus-like beastie rending a helicopter in two. This present could also be animated, however it comes from Powerhouse Animation, the studio that introduced us “Castlevania,” so it is more likely to pack a punch. Its horror bona fides are improved much more by the presence of “Underwater” and “The Babysitter” author Brian Duffield, who is about to each write and govt produce. Lengthy story brief, this would possibly get bloody.
The trailer itself is not overly-gory, and the animation type truly jogs my memory of the form of Saturday morning cartoons I used to look at on UPN again when that channel existed. Nonetheless, although, “Cranium Island” guarantees to be intense, with the brief teaser additionally together with a large killer crab, a vaguely humanoid gator, a sharp-taloned crimson fowl, and diverse different monsters and kaiju. It ends with a fast glimpse of Kong himself, leaning right down to growl ferociously within the face of a puny human.
Initially synopses for the present point out that it will observe a gaggle of people that find yourself shipwrecked on the island that is dwelling to mysterious, prehistoric beasts like Kong and his buddies. Consistent with the acquainted lore, it is also a misplaced island, that means this crew may be caught there for some time earlier than anybody stumbles upon them.
