Cheapo DVD Reviews: Killersaurus (2015)

"When a scientist runs short of funding for his life-saving medical Bio-Printing research, he accepts an offer of investment from a shadowy military organisation. In return, he is forced to use his technology to create the ultimate battlefield weapon - a full size Tyrannosaurus Rex. After a horrific accident in which the dinosaur massacres his research team, the scientist shuts down the project. However, his investors demand results and it can only be a matter of time before the deadly T-Rex is unleashed upon the world."

This film was not what I was expecting.

I sure as hell wasn't expecting Killersaurus to be good.  
This is a low-budget dinosaur movie after all. However I thought I might get some cheesy, bad-CGI dinosaur munching action and a few laughs. What I got was...something else entirely.

 The first surprise was that this was not a low-budget dinosaur movie. Killersaurus is a very low budget British dinosaur movie.

So what does this mean in real terms? Let me quickly run through some bullet points.

1. A multi-million research lab is apparently controlled from the back room of a side-street workshop.

2. Said lab only has 6 staff, only three of home get to do any talking. Or anything at all.

3. The head scientist dresses like a dad on his day off and has a definite Midlands accent.

4. The high-tech security keeping the T.Rex safely contained consists of a rolling garage door that, quite frankly, would not stop an annoyed chav with decent boots.

5. Rather cleverly, the dinosaur is kept hidden as much as possible but even so, it is easy to recognise as a rubber puppet with somebody's arm up the back making the mouth go up and down.

I might have been willing to overlook all of these because like I said, I was expecting low-budget and silly anyway but while Killersaurus does have some decent ideas and a couple of the actors are at least trying, it suffers from one flaw which is fatal to a movie like this.

Too much talking. Not enough rampaging T. Rex.

Or to put it another way, KillerSaurus is dull.

  Way too much time is spent on characters chatting in dark rooms and by the time the action finally rolls around it's too late.  I am also convinced the film-makers had got fed up and wanted to go home because how else do you explain a dinosaur movie that ends with a T.Rex finally escaping after 80 odd minutes and our heroes pretty-much going " Welp. It's escaped. Nowt we can do. Let's sod off."

Build-up is good but you do need to have a decent payoff and KillerSaurus doesn't.

How much did I pay for this: 99p
Was it worth it:  This is not even enjoyable as a "Bad" film so that's a massive NOPE.  Avoid.
