The monster was Old Man Estaban all the time.

And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for your meddling Peace Corps Volunteers.

Okay, couldn't help myself.

So this movie is typical of the Filipino Exploitation Films of the late 60's, early 70's were you could hire lots of extras cheap to make your movie, have ample amounts of female nudity, and have good time if you don't take it too seriously . Some volunteers show up on a remote island, only to find the natives are sacrificing their women to a violent monster that rapes them to death. This isn't too graphic, and you can tell the woman who could actually act didn't have to do any actual nude scenes.

Meanwhile, one of the doctors discovers that the life on this island has been effected by radiation from bomb tests, because of course it has. So to no one's surprise, the monster is the owner of the plantation.

Some of the parts are silly. Hey, guys, you've got spears and big swords, and it's only one monster. You don't need to give them your women. The monster turns out to be really easy to kill in the end... you have to wonder why they were all that afraid of it.

Acting is sub-par. You can tell that the American Actors didn't bother to correct the Filipino producers/writers on their improper use of grammar.
