      Audience Member Directed by Jim Wynorski, produced by Roger Corman and starring Eric Roberts and Corbin Bernsen, all based around the footage from the Carnosaur movies and new reaction shots? Man, if a movie has been made for the purpose of ending up on this site, it's Raptor, which may as well be Carnosaur 4. Sheriff Jim Tanner (Roberts, who has made a Faustian bargain with us where we must watch all of his movies if we want to keep our souls and blu ray collections) and his assistant Barbara investigate a series of mutilations which leads them to ex-military scientist Dr. Hyde (Bernsen) who is cloning dinosaurs. I kind of love that film stock changes, lighting changes, dinosaurs change and everything looks completely put together with chewing gum and some masking tape. Yet the end fight — again ripping off Aliens — has Eric Roberts in a forklift battling a giant rubbery dinosaur and you know, these are the kind of moments where life ever so fleetingly makes sense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Matthew D Literally all the dino action has been recycled from Carnosuar. Don't bother with this lazy rip-off Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/21 Full Review Audience Member I would call this a poor mans Jurasic Park but this one is so bad that its more like a homeless man's Lost World. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member it's as bad as I thought it would be! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A lab conducts secret biological experiments developing dinosaurs until one the creatures escapes and kills locals. By no means great but helped for me by Melissa Brasselle, a personal b-movie favourite of mine. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A vast majority of the dinosaur scenes are nothing but cheap stock footage from Carnosaur, which were not that great to begin with, acting was terrible, and the plot was boring Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is Roger Corman’s magic (and yes, he produced this) is how he can do something with nothing. He knows how to make entertainment, even though it’s schlock entertainment. He creates entertaining bad films and that shines in the Carnosaur films. T Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Only a film manufactured with sincerity and no originality could have resulted in such a funny mess of near-exploitation silliness.
