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

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.

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."

ridiculous toy baby dino....er monster

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

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!.

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.
