Jurassic Prey

I have brain damage from this. Going down the list of the worst Tubi has to offer I came across this. This movie looks like a 5 year old kid got a hold of a handycam and made this film. Full of nonsensical dialogue, over exposed shots with non existent color grading or just very poor color grading. The only thing exposed "fine" are interior shots. You could get a dinosaur from dollar tree that is more convincing than the puppet they use in this film. The soundtrack, if we can call it that, is a drunk man on a Casio keyboard. This movie has no right to exist... But it does. The stop motion for the dinosaur is like something from the 1930s but way worse. 3/4 of the movie in they stop trying with the editing and looks more like a rush job compared to the beginning of the movie. Don't watch.

And i thought Tomboys was bad. Sharknado is excellent compared to this.I like watching old Godzilla movies, zombies and such but this..this isn't even funny. even my little sister has watched enough movies to make a better one than this, with her cellphone and a budget of a weeks worth of lunch money to bribe some kids to act, and one to give up his toy barney. This is what happens when everyone brings their cellphone to the cottage and you run out of beer with 3 days of vacation left. I can ignore how all these people ended up at this remote cottage or how they all handle their guns like a 5 year old, I can even ignore the horrible acting (Godzilla had better acting even with sub titles)but i can not ignore the horrific CGI. Right from the start, slashing and splatter like a very cheap old video game. My vote out of 10: One. Nice cottage.

Wow, this thing was bad. Bad acting, poor camera work, bad story.

But, the worst was the "special" effects. Now I know this didn't have much of a budget, but I have seen high school kids make some pretty realistic CGI stuff.

This used a big guy in a horribly made suit, worse than old Godzilla movies, and then for full body shots of the dinosaur, it looked like a claymation dinosaur that didn't look anything like the suit version. And the way the dinosaur was spliced into the scenes when it interacted with humans will just make you laugh.

The depth of field was so messed up, they didn't even look like they were near each other. Oh, man....

You should probably just check this out only so you can laugh at the dinosaur scenes. It's pretty entertaining in itself!

I have very few positive things to say about "Jurassic Prey". Like most dinosaur flicks from the last few years, it's neither a good movie nor a so-bad-it's-good movie. It probably isn't one of the absolute worst movies I've ever seen, but I'm fairly sure it is somewhere in the "bottom 100" I have watched. It is one of the worst of the prehistoric genre and should be avoided or watched with extremely minimal expectations and some hard liquor.

The cast is generally awful in uninteresting ways; there are in fact ways B-movies can save a poor script with colorful characters and/ or colorful character actors, and this movie doesn't attempt to give us anyone to really care or root for, let alone laugh at. The visual effects are hilariously bad, however I cannot condemn them to the degree some reviewers have. Yes, the puppetry and stop-motion is not commendable, but I still prefer it over most of the cheap CGI in low budget dino-flicks the last few years. In fact I was bothered far more by other effects, such as the bad digital flames, blood, and gun flares among other poorly-executed shots.

If there were at least a few more redeeming elements (better gore, characters, and script for starters), I'd elevate my rating to a "3" or "4"; as it is, a "2" feels fairly generous.

Like one of the other reviewers I have always been a fan of low budget B movies. I have always thought and I think many would agree that Plan 9 from outer space was the worst movie ever made, even with the huge cult following it has, at least the burning paper plate used for the crashing flying saucer has some humorous value. This movie has no value at all. the acting is high schoolish at best, the plot could have been written by a 12 year old, and possibly was. Limited to almost nothing that can be considered special affects, and a few shots that look like rubberized sock puppets. The budget for this movie was probably well under $1000, and most of it probably spent on lunch for the cast and crew.

Wait for Mystery science theater 3000 to come back to see this one, it will probably be one of their first picks.
