The film is a US\/Canadian giant monster flick — made for an estimated budget of US$1.3 million by Cinetel Films, distributed by RHI Entertainment<\/a> and destined for the SyFy Channel — and its monster is really big. The newly released trailer looks promising, even for its low-budget status.<\/p>\n

An earthquake reactivates a long-dormant volcano threatening the small town of Ascension, trembling in its shadow.

As the Behemoth wreaks havoc, it\u2019s a race against time as a small band of rescuers fight it with a force as destructive as the beast itself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
