Synopsis
Dans une région reculée d'Afrique, près d'un village kuma, un riche promoteur, Joshua, et sa compagne inaugurent leur nouveau complexe touristique, un luxueux hôtel au milieu de la forêt. Alors que les premiers touristes s'installent et que le photographe chargé de la publicité, Daniel Nessel, s'inquiète du comportement des indigènes à l'égard des Occidentaux présents, le cauchemar commence lorsqu'un gigantesque alligator tue un autochtone kuma et un mannequin. La bête sauvage n'est d'autre qu'un Dieu malfaisant invoqué par la tribu locale des Kumas, en colère depuis que leur terre a été détruite pour la construction de l'hôtel, pour qu'il extermine les envahisseurs et les vacanciers. Secondé par une anthropologue, Alice, Daniel tente de freiner le massacre.Actors

Far north of the Arctic Circle, a nuclear bomb test, dubbed "Operation Experiment", is conducted. Prophetically, right after the blast, physicist Thomas Nesbitt (Paul Christian) muses, "What the cumulative effects of all these atomic explosions and tests will be, only time will tell." No sooner said, the explosion awakens a 30-foot (10 m) tall, 100-foot (30 m) long carnivorous animal known as Rhedosaurus, thawing it out of the ice where it had been held in suspended animation. Nesbitt is the only witness to the beast's awakening and is later dismissed out-of-hand as being delirious at the time of his "sighting". Despite the skepticism he persists, knowing what he saw.
