Wyvern

The film is a cross between Northern Exposure and the old science fiction film The Giant Claw. For all of you not familiar with Fifties Science Fiction, The Giant Claw was about a giant flying creature from outer space who came to earth to nest. That*€™s what old Wyvern is doing as it lays some eggs.

Barry Corbin and Elaine Miles from Northern Exposure are in the cast so you don*€™t forget we*€™re in Alaska. Corbin*€™s the guy who tells the rest of the townspeople what they*€™re dealing with. His Norwegian background in the folklore of his people makes him able to identify the monster. There*€™s even a Rob Morrow like doctor played by David Lewis who is something of a wise city slicker as much out of place as Morrow was. The Wyvern really has a grisly plan for him, this creature is as intelligent as Stephen Spielberg*€™s raptors in Jurassic Park.
