Plot

When a series of unexplained vicious animal attacks strikes his community, Sheriff Jim Tanner and his assistant Barbara trace them back to a Dr. Hyde, a former military researcher whose government funding for a dinosaur cloning project was cut.[3] When the Pentagon discovers Hyde obtained foreign backing to continue his experiments, they send in a strike team to save Tanner and Barbara and stop Hyde.

Reception

Psychotronic Video wrote that the dinosaur effects "are as painfully awful" as the Carnosaur films.[4] Riley Black, writing for Smithsonian in 2011, criticized the film's recycled footage for its lack of continuity.[5]
