The Invisible Raptor

This is horror comedy is unbelievably stupid. First of all, how did the raptor kept his body clean after all of those messy gratuitous slaughter? I guess the producer of this movie didn't expect people with high IQ would watch this ridiculous movie. They didn't think that someone would ask this kind of question. Blood didn't stick on it, while piss can make it seen way clearly? They must really think only Americans would watch this silly movie. LOL. Other than that obvious stupidity, the rest of the movie is pretty standard. Nothing stands out both in acting and in visual. It's a movie about a bloodthirsty dinosaur, so if you're gonna watch it, you should expect to see so much blood and gore. Make sure you can stomach them in large scale.

A parodic love-letter to the films of Steven Spielberg, most notably Jurassic Park and Jaws (see if you can spot all of the references), The Invisible Raptor sees a small town menaced by a genetically-modified, invisible, prehistoric apex predator, which has escaped from a top secret scientific facility. Paleontologist/theme park employee Dr. Grant Walker (Mike Capes) realises the situation and, together with workmate Deniel 'Denny' Denielson (David Shackelford) and ex-flame Amber (Caitlin McHugh, he tries to track down the dinosaur.

The 'invisible' action figure used to promote The Invisible Raptor is a stroke of genius, far smarter than anything in the actual movie. As the title suggests, the film is intentionally dumb, but sadly the majority of the humour is incredibly weak, leaving it up to the cartoonish splatter to do the heavy lifting. The gore, when it happens (mostly in the second half of the film), is a lot of fun, a mixture of practical and CGI (an unnecessary evil when dealing with an invisible creature tearing people apart); the sight of people having their limbs removed by the titular dinosaur makes the film just about worthwhile, the effects being surprisingly effective for such a low budget production.

Also, this is the only film I know of that you can see an old woman in a chicken costume being rogered by an invisible dinosaur, so there's that!

5.5/10, rounded down to 5 for the runtime of almost two hours, which is waaay too long for this kind of nonsense.

Just watched this earlier tonight and didn't quite know what I was gonna get. It felt a bit cheesy and lowbudgetty from the name and description..and, to be fair...it IS both of those things BUT what I didn't know was how really well acted and funny it was going to be.

The movie 'feels' like a much bigger production than I think it is and I think that's in part due to writing, acting and cinematography - all which were above par.

I really enjoyed it. A lot more than most movies I've seen this year. I gave it a well deserved 8.

Check it out for yourself.

This is one of the best B movies I've ever seen. If you liked Sharknado then you will love this film. It has everything you would expect and even some great surprises. It doesn't take itself seriously, but is still well made and script is on point. It knows what's it's meant to be and I was literally laughing out loud the whole time. I can't say enough good things about this, the actors are all amazing and really sell their roles. I was emotionally invested from the very beginning. If you don't like these type of movies then move and live your life and move on, but if you want experience 90 minutes of pure joy, then look no further!

In the middle of a special project, a group of scientists are dismayed when the subject of their experiments in the form of a special invisible dinosaur escapes and runs wild in a local town, forcing a series of wild locals to team together to stop the creature's bloodsoaked rampage.

This was a fairly fun if problematic feature. One of the bigger features here is the general setup that provides the kind of wild genre fare it feels quite engaged to provide. The idea of the dinosaur getting loose during the series of tests being conducted by a government agency trying to determine the effectiveness of such a weapon by the military and the ensuing rampage that occurs afterward makes for a solid enough starting point. It gets to the point about what the creature is, how intelligent it actually is, and how it gets free while also managing to give a great starting point for introducing the wild and wacky series of characters in the town where we get to meet the heroes at the Theme Park, the ex-flame, and the crazy local that believes their story who band together to use their skills to track the creature down. This gives the film a strong and intriguing starting point with a couple of great pieces to start the investigation into the creature. The second half here, featuring the series of encounters and confrontations with the creature and the crew trying to stop it, manages to bring together a lot of fun aspects. Going with some outright silly aspects involving the goofy tracking techniques, slapstick humor involving the personalities on display conflicting with each other, and a slew of random characters introduced not just to provide some laughs with their one-liners but their eventual death after encountering the creature, there's plenty of fun throughout here. The graphic kills being accomplished with stand-out sequences feature a lot to like, which is exactly the same as the effects used to bring the creature to life and interact with the environment to play up its invisible status, which all come together with the high-energy action on display here to make for a lot to like overall. There are some big problems here that hold it back. The main issue here is the fact that this one is such an ungodly length for the type of material present that it threatens to wear out its welcome rather early. There's little reason why this should be more than ninety minutes much less approach two hours the way this does, especially with the amount of characters or side tangents this goes on simply to get a laugh as that comes at the expense of dragging this one out far longer. Excessively going for the joke rather than trying to present the storyline more straightforwardly with so many scenes like the opening escape from the lab, the gags at the Theme Park, or the implications of the sheriff about what's really going on which all serve their appropriate laughs but just don't need to be as indulgent as they are. The other factor to be had with this one is the goofy premise never going for the kind of over-the-top wildness it seems set up to employ. The idea of the creature being invisible is a great gimmick that gets a lot of fun moments to shine but it soon grows so weary that you can't see the creature in full. Not knowing what it looks like or where the creature is comes off like a massive cheat to simply put it anywhere they want and the satisfaction of trying to make the scenes make sense is lost without the ability to tell what's going on that it happens simply because of the appearance of the creature kept under wraps for the gimmick to play out. It's somewhat underwhelming to keep getting denied and everything playing out the way it does is the main cause of that, holding this one back for what it is.
