legend of dinosaurs and monster birds blu-ray

The novel’s a trashy B-Book, and this is a trashy B-Movie. Other changed details include motivations and story beats (the ending is completely different), but I don’t think that detracts from the movie at all. If you want a clearer picture of what I mean, think of any Roger Corman creature feature involving women. If anything, he’s a bigger antagonist than the monster for a good chunk of it. The Alex character is nowhere near as heroically “badass” in the book as he is in the movie. It’s a lot to get into, so I’ll keep it brief (as I can). Mainly in the character interpretations, having switched names and roles a bit. And… and… did that woman just give birth… to an egg? Wait… is… is that a… DINOSAUR EGG?!

A bear? There’s no bears in the desert… are there? On top of that, people are getting really sick all of a sudden. A bobcat? “I haven’t seen one of those around here since I was a kid,” a local says. Then, overnight, hell breaks loose with a rash of brutal maulings, supposedly by some wild animal. It’s quiet, nothing much going on, the usual routine you’d expect from a place like this. We’ll say Nevada, probably not too far from Perfection. I’m a terrible host, I should have realized sooner. So here I’ve been, rambling on about this flick, and it’s just dawned on me that you might not know anything about it. I’m hoping if I hit a thousand, Corman himself will help me write an article, so let’s keep ‘em coming.

I can say with absolute certainty that Carnosaur molded my taste in cinema and was the catalyst for my B-movie obsession.Īll thanks to Roger Corman! Have we hit a hundred Corman mentions yet? It’s got to have been at least fifty. That being said, both Carnosaurand Jurassic Park are childhood favorites of mine, though you might be surprised to find out (read: not surprised at all) that I watched the former way more than the latter.
