Carnosaur (1993)

An American science fiction directed by Adam Simon, starring Diane Ladd and Clint Howard.
A scientist who is genetically engineering chickens makes dinosaurs.
Crappy like a Syfy channel flick. An implausible, threadbare and inconclusive plot was filled with shallow characters whose dialogue was poorly written as they gave bad acting performances. I was unimpressed with most of the sets and costumes. The laboratory was not bad and they did have guys in yellow jumpsuits. Camera-work and editing looked low budget and Syfy production to me. There was some fire used, but the main special effect (the dinosaur (image)) was shoddy. Even a child could tell that it was made of rubber and moved in an unnatural manner. It would actually have been better to show less of the dinosaur. One good head puppet and some big, jointed cardboard to make a believable shadow would have worked and probably have been scarier. Audio seemed to be mixed right and the soundtrack seemed to fit. There was an annoying sound in the laboratory that sounded like the "DROOOOID" android ringtone. This has a 3.5/10 on IMDB and 11% tomatometer, 23% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. A 23% average is like marking "C" for every answer on a test. I rate this bad because it shows a lack of thought. What makes it even worse is that this was supposed to compete with Jurassic Park!
