A brilliant geneticist, Diane Ladd, plans to expose a lethal virus to every human being on the planet. Her objective: to destroy humankind in favour of her new strain of prehistoric dinosaurs. Two people stand in the way of her diabolical plan, a cynical night watchman and a lovely idealistic environmentalist. The two must overcome their differences long enough to uncover the scientist's scheme and fight her carnivorous creations in a desperate battle against the extinction of the human race. Written by Concorde - New Horizons (with permission).
I saw this film for the first time when I was in high school. My friends and I were looking for a bad horror flick, and we were right on our renting fee money when we picked out this gem. If you want to watch a movie that is scary, uses realistic-looking-dinosaurs, and authentic-looking blood and guts, then this movie is not right for you. Do not take it even remotely seriously. If you are looking for a good laugh, then, please, take this movie seriously. Somewhere between the horrible cinematography, several messily mauled treehuggers, and the science that completely lacked any validity whatsoever, I found myself actually rolling on the floor, convulsing with laughter. I now proudly own the entire trilogy of Carnosaur-ridden hilarity. If you have seen Ed Wood and became intrigued with bad cinema, then Carnosaur should be just right for you.
