A History Channel-type of forced documentary that had too many holes in it to be taken seriously. From the technical aspect of how they were going to collect their " data" to how poorly the sighting were being communicated from the island to the shore house- meaning after the sighting was over!
The crew simply seemed like it was all filmed after the fact. I hate to say it was bad acting, but it felt somewhat embarrassing on quite a few occasions.
As far as the technical problems with the effort, please read the other fine reviews here. Sincerity of intention alone does not make for good research or a good doc.

...For a useless little effort of a movie.
If the writers and producers create a film with one completly strange and mysterious plot device and then proceed to offer no explanation of it whatsoever, I write them off immediately.
Such is the case with this movie. Absolutely no effort is put into explaining the dentist's strange healing powers.
This is artistically lazy and uncreative. It's supposed to render the film with a more important human element and deeper meaning. But that's an artistic ploy- like the old, cheesy sci fi films that featured an impossibly weird monster, but never explained how in the world the monster came into being. Or even why said monster is now living in the middle of NYC.
Lazy. Like my review. Ignore both.

Absolutely lame and absurd dialog. Almost unwatchable for its pure, 1970's lameness. But it was filmed in 1982! Go figure.
A bad film. Not even campy. Just plain bad.
