Maybe the island is Field of Dreams, of some sort.
I found on the Tivo board the description about the monster, from the pink script page:
...well sort of. The description of monster was posted on a tivo forum...somebody was able to enlargen the missing script page. Here is the text below:
***
Huge. Mechanical AND biological. Godlike and profane. A massive, multi-tentacled robotic beast resembling a primordial mapinguari-only partially obscured in a cloud of acrid smoke"

Now the Mapinguari is a creature whose existence has been debated by numerous scientists and researchers. Some have said that the Mapinguari is the Amazonian cousin of Bigfoot [a.k.a. Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas] or the Sasquatch, Yowie [Australia] and Yeti [Asia]. The Mapinguari
Now what is a mapinguari...that is a supposed human-sized sloth-like creature reported sighted by Indians in the Amazon rain forest. It is a large nocturnal animal with a frightful screaming cry. Locals describe the Mapinguari as about two meters in height when standing on its hind legs. It is covered in red hair and emits a foul odor. Its feet are turned backwards and its claws are capable of ripping apart the palm trees upon which it feeds. Ornithologist David Oren believes the Mapinguari is real. He has searched for it for twenty years. Oren suggests the Mapinguari is a surviving ground sloth, similar to the (presumably extinct) Mylodon, which i have included a picture below . While the smaller tree sloths still exist, ground sloths are generally assumed to have died out around ten thousand years ago. So far no tangible evidence of the Mapinguari has survived close scrutiny.
The second photo is of a giant ground sloth depicting the prehistoric animal.
