More in line with a direct-to-video feature, the audio is inexcusable. It's constantly fluctuating in volume, making it impossible to either hear conversations or not go deaf. It's a shame, too, since there's some exceptional directional work, like a moment before a giant spider munches on a victim, it spins around the actors and the sound field. It's a shame it's impossible to appreciate because of the volume problems. 
Surprisingly, there's a decent set of extras on the disc. A behind-the-scenes feature runs a little over eight minutes and features Bruce Boxleitner extensively on and off set. A feature on the special effects shows what we all knew was true: a guy in his garage did all the CGI. There's discussion on how things change due to the budget, how much time they have to complete the tasks, and what the focus will be.
Three minutes of outtakes are hard to hear, and the majority are only mildly amusing. Finally, a packed commentary filled with information, jokes, and general ribbing from a section of the cast is more entertaining than any of the real dialogue. It's a robust feature set for such a low end film. 
Asylum has no care as to how often they rip off big studio films. War of the Worlds was released at the same time as Tom Cruise's large budgeted alien invasions epic. The DaVinci Treasure is self-explanatory. When a Killer Calls took the remake of When a Stranger Calls to a new low, and staying with their usual remake rip-offs, 666: The Child took care of The Omen redux.

The idea that this inspired King Kong is almost certainly because the movie is based (loosely) on the Arthur Conan Doyle novel The Lost World which almost certainly WAS the primary inspiration for King Kong and all of the other lost world literature and movies of the 20th century. There have been numerous movies and TV series based directly on the Conan Doyle classic, and it is arguably one of the most influential fantasy novels of all time.

Oh, I know that, but the marketing material makes it sound like THIS VERY MOVIE has inspired Kong and JP. That, and besides the whole lost island thing, there's nothing here from any of the the stories or movies.

Well, they DO want to sell videos, Matt.

Yeah, but blatantly misleading your audience isn't a way to earn viewers.
