No matter how old i get, i'll always appreciate poorly made movies. These exist as tributes to the big blockbuster films of hollywood. It's more fun to sit down and laugh at how poorly made they are and how seriously they take themselves. But sometimes, the movies are so bad, that they really just exist to be laughed at.
Jurassic Prey is one of those movies with acting I expect in a church play. It's like a bunch of friends got together and hired a few struggling actresses to play their girlfriends because they don't have any real ones or their real ones wouldn't look good running around in a bra and jeans. Also, the special effects are something I could easily outdo with the very little filmmaking experience I have. There are so many errors in special effects & editing that i'd be embarrassed if my name was slapped on this. The dinosaur they use looks more cute than scary. Actually they could've used Barney as their dinosaur and that would've been scarier.
A woman named Jackie is ripping off her mobster boyfriend & gets tangled up with 3 dimwitted criminals who take her hostage and steal her car, while being chased by 2 police who don't even have sirens in their car. They all hide out at a rural cabin, unaware of the danger that lurks in the forest, in the form of a monster dinosaur.
Honestly, with a little more effort and care, this could've been a fun little Jurassic park fan film knock-off. But the special effects are unacceptable, the acting sucks, and the script could've been fixed to sound a little less cheesy.
But the biggest letdown is the finale. Here's the thing. Throughout the movie, they tease you with that water. There's scuba gear in the cabin. Jackie hints about going skinny dipping in the lake. But it doesn't happen. It's not like they couldn't shoot an ending like that either, they had underwater footage in the movie too. That would've been a far more entertaining end to this atrocious joke of a movie.
If you're a fan of homemade movies like the ones you used to make in middle school, this might be worth a view, but for serious movie goers, stick to Jurassic Park.
