I saw this movie on the SciFi channel a few years ago, and I thought it was strange that they didn't even show previews of it all week leading up to it. Now I know why they didn't bother advertising it, because it was so horrible that it made their original movies look good. I didn't know that this movie would tie in with the Carnosaur trilogy(if you can call it that).It composed of stock footage from the three previous films, and at first I thought it was a complete joke. But I thought it would get better... but I was WAY wrong.This movie should only be watched to be an example of how to not even attempt to make a film and be completely lazy and un-original with film production.

Oy vey... Jurrasic Park got Corman-ized. As usual the plot is wafer thin, from 1 foot tall dinosaurs that weigh 150 pounds and leave tracks bigger than they are, to inexplicable science which uses lasers to keep the dinosaurs in check and poultry trucks which have chickens loose in cages large enough for big dogs (I've seen chicken trucks they are all in cages the size of shoe boxes). And all that is in the first 15 minutes of this disaster of a film. All the male actors are imbeciles (thinking a grizzly might be loose in the desert, constantly dropping items to give the raptor an easy kill) and the female actors all look like they just came from a modeling shoot for Fredrick's of Hollywood. The raptor itself is the worst thing since the Hobgoblins (from the movie of the same name), it looks like they had a hand puppet version and a plastic model for the "motion" shots. If you want a good movie to sit around and heckle MST3K style, this is gold. If you want competent film making and good acting... don't watch a Roger Corman film. Acting gets a 4 out 10, some of the players upon this stage did try. Story gets a 2 out of 10, it reads like a drunken storytelling session gone bad. Special effects gets a 2 out of 10, I've seen worse, but not many.

You get RAPTOR! Undoubtedly one of the most horrific pieces of cinema ever cut and pasted, Raptor consists of nothing more than a disgraced Eric Roberts and a nameless softcore cable porn starlet romping around poorly constructed sets, with 2/3 of the 'movie' being nothing more than assorted clips of the three Carnosaur movies. I can't even imagine what would possess a studio, no matter how bad their reputation is, to cut footage from 3 existing b-movie laughing stocks, and then proceed to film roughly 25-30 minutes of original footage and insert the Carnosaur clips into it at either inappropriate or completely unrelated parts.Its a funny movie to watch however, simply because its so laughable to see how the movie plays out. Death scenes from Carnosaur 1-3 have been inserted, both human and dino. The sad part is, when the humans are killed, you can plainly tell that the...'actor'...being killed is not the same, ah hem....actor, that was just on screen. For example, a young girl in her early 20's flips out at Corben Bernsen(another once successful Hollywood actor turned b-movie bottom-feeder), and goes into an elevator, at which point a dino pulls her up through the elevator roof into an inexplicably placed room with pipes, and throws her into the pipes where it proceeds to bite off her arm, and then take a tasty bite out of the funzone below the belt (heck of a way to go). If you can get over the bizarrely funny scene of a woman being killed by having her genitals eaten by a mutant dinosaur, you might laugh even harder when you realize that the young girl in her 20's that was wearing a black tanktop and pants has been replaced by a grittier 30-something woman wearing white and black army fatigues.This happens throughout the entire movie, since no sorry excuse for an actor that is on screen is ever the same one getting killed. AT least 2/3 of the movie is assorted Carnosaur clips, and the remaining 1/3 of the footage is some of the most despicable b-movie acting ever recorded. The fact that Corben Bernsen would even be seen in something like this...i'm embarrassed FOR him! Some of the biggest laughs come from the z-list softcore porn starlet they stick with Eric Roberts to serve as the female love interest...truly some of the worst acting ever, even in b-movie terms.Check this out if you've seen the carnosaur flicks and need a great laugh.

I thoroughly agree that this movie was so bad that it was good. I laughed my butt off the entire time. From the (questionably) sexy Melissa Braselle as an animal control officer, who can't raise her arms above her head for the seeming fear that her fake boobs will pop out, to the sinister Corbin Bernsen as Dr. Hyde ... complete with beret, this movie had me rolling.I think my favorite piece of bad movie making was the splash of blood on the wall when a tyrannosaurus (raptor? what kind of dinosaur was it again?) attacks a marine. You can literally see the blood squirting out of a hose or bottle before it splashes on the wall. Hilarious.I recommend this movie to anyone who is not prepared to take it seriously. Have a few drinks and settle down for a crap-o-rama. It's definitely worth it.
