Iguana (1988)

In the heart of the 19th century, aboard a whaling ship navigating the tempestuous seas, a harpooner named Iguana bears the brunt of his shipmates' scorn. His grotesque disfigurement serves as both a physical and social scar, isolating him in a world of relentless torment and abuse. One fateful night, driven by desperation, Iguana seizes his chance and escapes his maritime prison, finding solace on a remote, uncharted island. This desolate piece of paradise, untouched by human malice, becomes Iguana's kingdom. He transforms from a mere outcast to a self-proclaimed ruler, turning the tables on a world that had always been cruel to him. With the island as his fortress, he declares war on mankind, the source of his past afflictions. But the island's solitude is disturbed when a man and a woman, unfortunate victims of the merciless sea, find themselves washed ashore. They soon become the subjects of Iguana's newfound tyranny. Trapped in his dominion, they must face the wrath of a man who once was the oppressed and has now become the oppressor. "Iguana" is a tale of a man's journey from victim to villain, exploring the cycle of abuse, and the lengths one will go to reclaim power and control. This chilling narrative unfolds in a world where the persecuted can become the persecutor, reminding us that the line between hero and villain is often blurred, and the scars we carry can shape the fate of those who cross our path.

Iguana is a drama movie featuring Everett McGill.
