In Soupy Mountain

A group of scientists on a remote island are targeted by a monstrous alien creature that emerges from the sea. The creature is drawn to the island by the scientists' experiments, which have disrupted its natural environment. The scientists must find a way to defeat the alien before it wipes them all out and potentially threatens the mainland.
