YMMV / Humongous

• Special Effect Failure: Actually more of a Lighting Failure. Due to the remote filming location, the filmmakers couldn't use stage lights to illuminate anything, resulting in many scenes being shot in near-total darkness.
• Spiritual Successor: The film is essentially a slightly Lighter and Softer (as in, lacking the extreme gore) Canadian take on The Anthropophagus Beast, as both films involve a group of people on a remote island being terrorized by a killer with a tragic backstory.
• The Woobie: Both Ida and her son, though the latter becomes a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds. It speaks volumes that even the people terrified of them and are being terrorized by one of them can't help but feel truly awful for them and their bleak existence.
