Jurassic Prey

Saw 'Jurassic Prey' as part of my low-budget completest quest when it popped up by chance in the recommended for you section. Part of me was oddly intrigued by the premise, despite it being absolutely ridiculous and there are instances of fun dinosaurs on the rampage films (naming them would be unfair).

Was not expecting much from 'Jurassic Prey' to be perfectly honest at the same time. The cover/poster looked cheap, it had a low rating and the reviews were less than promising. So in all honesty was expecting something terrible. Seeing 'Jurassic Prey' with an open mind and fairness intended, it turned out to be irredeemably awful and deserving of every bad thing that has been said about it.

Just for the record, am somebody who hates being critical believe it or not and is more often than not encouraging and aims to be balanced and tries to evaluate rather than completely gushing or bashing, so will always severely object to being called an armchair critic/expert that is thrown around a lot immaturely.

From start to finish, the limited budget shows in particularly the not always very well organised editing and the abysmal look of the dinosaur. The camera work is similarly disorganised and drab. The dinosaur looks awful and has no personality or menace, essentially being unintentionally goofy and lumbering randomly in scenes that are messily executed, tension-free and with no urgency. Nothing memorable about the music.

The human characters are underwritten and have little development or endearing personality with so many silly and less than logical behaviours and decisions (a bugbear of mine and have found myself using it a fair bit recently). None of the actors look comfortable in their roles and don't seem to be having fun at all.

Also found too much of the dialogue on the wrong side of dumb and cheesy, complete with some soapy moments, and that it didn't flow very well. The film had an interesting premise with far too over-familiar execution that has nothing new. The lack of imagination and suspense also hurts the film, too much evokes cringing and the thrills and fun are non-existent.

It's all very contrived, truly ridiculous, paper thin and often not easy to follow. The direction felt like they were not in control of the material and not at ease with the genre.

Overall, awful and with no redeeming features. 1/10 Bethany Cox

What director in his right mind would make a film like this?. I was born in the 90's and even the creature features of the 70's were far better than this. Why is it that the quality of B-movies are degrading?. I would like to think of this as a joke played by the director on the audience. All I can say is they are trying to capitalize on the success of Jurassic Park. Thinking, everyone with the word 'Jurassic' in the title would watch it. Do not encourage them. The T-rex is basically a rubber doll. The studio who made this film should be fined. Losing faith in B-movies. Even The Asylum have gotten better!.

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 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.

some genius decided to try and make a movie by joining a bunch of videos clips together shot from i would guess is, judging by the image quality, their android phone and tried to pass it off as something other that pure garbage. 4.8 score? really? let me guess the cast and crew all voted on their own film to "pad" the IMDb vote count, pathetic. this is by far the worst movie i have ever watched for less than 5 minutes of, but it was actually closer to about 20 seconds that i knew this was utter trash, sad. this is where i actual begin to feel pity on the folks involved with this joke of a project. stick to doing whatever else it is you do. leave movie making up to the professionals, and for heavens sake don't release it.

PLOT "A group of people brought together through a twist of fate hide out in a remote cabin, unaware that a ferocious monster roams the surrounding area."

just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
