Plot: Call it Jurassic Apocalypse. King of B movies Roger Corman beat Steven Spielberg's dinosaur monster mash to the theater by weeks with this nasty preemptive knock-off. Diane Ladd (yes, the mother of th...( read more read more... )e star of Jurassic Park) plays a chilly genetics scientist who gives up a career in biological warfare to build a better chicken and emerges with a giant meat-eating lizard bred from ancient DNA and poultry embryos. Think of her as a misanthropic Earth mother, spreading her genetic virus across the country through supermarket chicken eggs, and hatching her scaly brood in unsuspecting women (the birth scenes echo the earlier Corman sleaze classic Humanoids from the Deep). Director Adam Simon, who adapts John Brosnan's novel, bounces between self-consciously serious scenes of scientists and government officials huddled in impossibly dark control rooms and hilariously phony foam-rubber monsters hunting the high desert for food on the hoof. The highlight is a veritable meat market of human flesh featuring protesting hippie environmentalists chained to construction equipment ("Greetings, green brother." Chomp!). Behind the buckets of blood and gore is a sinister, cynical "end of the world" thriller with sharp references to Dr. Strangelove and Night of the Living Dead. It's far more subversive and sinister than your average rampaging dinosaur movie, and, in its own perverse way, more fun than Spielberg's infinitely more polished classic. --Sean Axmaker

    Look closely at the movie cover that is what you are getting into a cheesey corny B movie with a dinosaur modled out of seemingly a kids Play Doll! Recommended disposal of movie lead a pack of trucks in stock of every copie of Carnosur to the Grand Canyon and toss the cargo into the deepest gorge, in time the movie will fossilize and convert into fossil fuels for later generations. Yay the future Joker will have enough gasoline to carry on my line of work!

    despite of its terrible special effects value, it still has an enjoyable B-Movie feel to it and has a great story behind it!

    why?
    Did we really need a movie like this. Well the reason for this being made is money, there is a good campy quality of this one but there isnīt anything else.

    This movie is lame. It have a weird story of how women are impregnated with dinosaur eggs. The special effects are terrible.

    Oh christ! lol! The first time I saw this was when I was 6. This is proof that I was a Corman fan since my early years of childhood and my overwhelming passion towards B movies.

    This is my favorite guilty pleasure! I liked the book a lot better, but lately, every Friday after work, Ive been watching this movie. Call me crazy, but it's a fun bad flick!
