Based on the actual quality of the movie and the writing, probably only 3 or 4 stars. Based on how much I enjoyed myself, 10 stars. So, split the difference.
I've watched movies with much higher production that took themselves far too seriously, and thus were worse than Claw. This movie was a bunch of people having fun, with a silly little story and some good humor.
Definitely not for everyone. More of a cult comedy thing, where you shouldn't take any of it serious and should just sit back and not think for an hour.

This is a nice little comedy. It ain't King Lear. It ain't Gone With The Wind. It's a small fun movie, designed to make you smile and laugh and get some cheap flash scares on the way. The acting is just fine, in fact very good for this movie genre.
When you have some time and need to decompress, start this one and see how you like it.

I guess it was the intention to make this an ironical, tongue-in-cheek horror parody. Well, it's definitely all done with enthusiasm, and "sympathetic" is the word that constantly popped up in my mind while watching. But it was a bit too ambiguous for my taste. For a horror comedy it simply doesn't have enough horror, like serious jump scares or gore or even a basic building-up of the suspense. And for a comedy the humor was too dorky. I guess you could call it camp, but even then it didn't get enough substance to keep you interested throughout.
Another problem was that, after the first confrontation with the prehistoric raptor (done with simple looking CGI), the story didn't get any deeper or more multilayered; for the rest of the (very short) movie the raptor just kept roaring and chasing, while the main characters kept frantically running around to escape it. Chynna Walker and Richard Rennie act fine and they are funny enough, with some witty dialogues and ad-libs, but that's simply not enough to make a good and involving movie.

I give it 4 stars for the good CGI and the good acting of the girl. The acting of all the other characters was really bad. The plot is non-existent. I mean, the preview tells you literally what it is about: two people get chased around by a raptor for an hour and half. No backstory, no drama, no complexity, and the attempts at humor were pretty bad. Sorry to the people who made it, as I know you put your heart into it, but I just did not find it to be a good movie (the girl's good acting aside).

- GoofsThe camper/caravan they are staying in is right next to the shed where the raptor is, but from when the owner runs from the shed to the camper to when the couple run from the camper, it appears that they are far apart when they are right next door.
