80's Jungle Monster Afraid of Light

by Cliff
(California, USA)

In the 80's there was a monster movie (maybe made-for-TV) that I can't remember the name of.

A helicopter pilot flies a female doctor to a remote ranch in the jungle - maybe in Central America. Monsters come out only at night and are afraid of bright lights. The pilot and the woman flash lights at the monster to keep it at bay.

Sound familiar? Thanks.

Yes! you are all describing it. Awesome to know others are out there looking for the same.

Dance of the Dwarfs is the ONE!! Oh my god, can't believe you found it. Peter Fonda was the heli pilot.

YES! Thank you all so very much. Now to find a copy and relive my past...

Cheers!

Sorry to Necro but...

I was looking for this title too. I'm pretty sure at least we're talking about the same one.

The creatures are white? Part lizard part ape? Seems like in the ending they surround the people near an ominous pit in the jungle and it's stormy out or maybe dark. A helicopter comes down and rescues the humans, only to find that one of the creatures is in the back of the helicopter and the movie ends.

I know I am a little late to the party, just found the site. Kinda sounds like the movie I am looking for. Did it end with them escaping in a helicopter and then something grabs a girl from outside the copter? I remember watching an HBO movie in the early 80's on HBO like that. I am totally trying to find that one out.
