KillerSaurus (2015) Reviews

• We may have a problem

  nogodnomasters2017-09-29

  A top secret government funded bio-printer can't make any money producing human body parts so the opt to make a T-Rex...at least it's rubber head. Things go bad, people die in what is mostly three terrible actors on screen. The end credits (Congrats for making it that far) has outtakes which consists mostly of the actors forgetting their lines. Better than the main feature. Horrible movie not even worthy of SyFy/Asylum. Technical issues: Dinosaurs are more related to birds than reptiles, so using a reptile model doesn't make any sense. You can not get a decent seal on a negative pressure respirator with facial hair. However in this case it really didn't matter because the budget didn't allow them to buy filters for the respirators, making them useless with a seal. If you are going to wear a Tyvex suit to protect you from chemicals, you really should have the feet in them. Why not mount cameras in the hanger with the T-Rex? Guide: 1 F-word. No sex or nudity. The killing is off screen.

• Laughable at best

  Every once in a while, a movie will come along where you have to admire the people who made it - for whatever reason they made it - and you have to ask yourself. Why would they make this and who on Earth would do such a thing? When your dinosaur action packed movie consists of 4 lead players and 2 supporting players and a budget of about $120, you begin to question the meaning of life - and of course, this unsolved crime in movie making history. With the massive 120 $ budget, you can rent a smoke machine, a car garage with a metal roll door, 2 blue warehouse lights and a red gel which goes over a lamp to turn the light red . You also can create a mindless simplistic software program for 2 year old children and buy a silicone dinosaur mask and a painters suit and dust masks. That should give you enough change back to buy the lunch for the crew and cast of chocolate bars and water and you still might have a bit of change left to get a coffee for the producer of this disaster. Scary? No. Thrilling? No. Scientific? No. Dramatic? Romantic? Comedic? Adventurous? NO> NO>NO>NO>NO. You expect too much in life if you expect anything like that. Keep wishing. It's abysmal in it's own and it;s entire design, production and marketing is laughable at best.

• Killer t Rex cloned

  arpinnock2015-07-10

  This is a British flick that isn't actually that bad. A top secret scientist clones a T-Rex with a 3d printer in controlled conditions and it kills some people. Not a big cast, so don't go into this expecting a lot of action or seeing Rex much or blood But, the script isn't bad, acting a bit shaky, effects are basic and photography actually quite good. It kept me wanting to watch until the end and not turn off so that was plus. The films starts well and then we get the credits. Then it starts to get very slow. It builds up eventually and the end is very abrupt. The reporters accent seems to change in every scene and where a gun comes from in the UK and in this situation seems very out of place.

• A killer dinosaur film that is not that killer

  TheLittleSongbird2018-09-11

  Was not expecting much from 'KillerSaurus'. It just sounded terribly derivative to the point of being a blatant rip off, the cover/poster looked cheap and like something you'd find advertised for a SyFy or Asylum film, it had a low rating and the reviews were less than promising. So in all honesty was expecting something terrible. Seeing 'KillerSaurus' with an open mind and fairness intended, it turned out to be not near as terrible as expected. At the same time, didn't find it a particularly good film either. Just for the record, am somebody who hates being critical 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. There are positives. There is colour and atmosphere in the setting and some slickness in some of the shots. Music is not over-bearing, variety-less or monotonous, even when not being exactly memorable. Occasionally there is the odd thrill, but that's too far and between. Conversely, the limited budget shows in particularly the not always very well organised editing and the ropy effects. The dinosaur doesn't steal the show as much as it should and its contribution is not particularly memorable or well used, due to the lack of genuine suspense and horror and its viciousness downplayed too much. Human characters are underwritten and have little development or endearing personality with frustrating and illogical decisions and behaviours. The acting is very wooden with no exception, nobody looks comfortable. 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. Parts are too silly, others take themselves too seriously that it becomes dreary. The film is extremely derivative, interesting premise with far too over-familiar execution that has nothing new. Lack of imagination and suspense also hurts the film, too much evokes cringing and the thrills are sporadic, with a lot of predictability and contrivance. It also tries to throw in too much and some of it holds little if any relevance. The pace is frequently dull and the ending is too hasty and unresolved. The direction felt like they were not in control of the material and not at ease with the genre. Overall, weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox
