Terrifying T-Rex

When i turned 8 years old in 1985, i remember my family visited the Swedish capital city of Stockholm and we went to see a dinosaur skeleton in a museum. I still remember how big it looked, even if it was just bones. Since you were not allowed to take photographs ( this was when you took actual photographs with a camera, when cell phones did not exist ), you could buy pictures in the souvenir shop. I believe we bought a book with information about different dinosaurs. The dinosaur bones on the exhibition was not a T-Rex, but another dinosaur that they have found. Either way, still very fascinating to see these bones with your own eyes. As i came into my teenage years, i did get to experience some wonderful dinosaur movies. Some of them were good ( especially thinking about the original Jurassic Park film from 1993 ), while others were not that good. But i especially appreciated the B movies with dinosaurs, and one of those films i remember picking up at our local rental VHS stores, was the 1993 film Carnosaur from director Adam Simon ( who directed the classic 1990 horror film Brain Dead with Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton ). One interesting detail about Carnosaur is that legendary film producer Roger Corman ( who also directed some classic films, and produced the martial arts classic Bloodfist with Don "The Dragon" Wilson ) is the executive producer of Carnosaur, and he was a fan of the 1984 novel of Carnosaur from author Josh Brosnan. Carnosaur is a fun cheesy B movie that has everything you could wish for with bad acting, funny characters, and the special effects are just wonderful. Carnosaur is a perfect example of when a B movie is made with passion for the genre, and have great entertainment value. Definetely worth picking up on DVD if you enjoy B movies. There are two more sequels that i have not seen so far, but i have heard that they are not as good as the original film. Speaking of dinosaurs, director James B. Thomasson ( director of the slasher film Backwoods Bubba, a film i reviewed last year ) released his film Terrifying T-Rex on DVD. A T-Rex running around attacking people, and have hot women included as well? This sounded like the perfect movie for me, since i am a dinosaur fan and love women as well. Is this the film everyone should be picking up on DVD this autumn, or is Terrifying T-Rex a total chaos from start to finish?

An asteroid hit Earth, and unleashes a T-Rex dinosaur from underground, that have been extinct for 65 million years. No one is safe, unless someone can stop this beast from feeding of human flesh.

We might as well be honest and say, if you are going into Terrifying T-Rex hoping for a big budget action film, that is not what you will find here. However, if you love low budget films and you just want to see a T-Rex eating humans, then this is the film for you. Terrifying T-Rex does not take itself seriously at all, and that is exactly the right tone for a film like this to make it work. This film is really lifting up female characters, so we get plenty of great looking women in this film. One of the most recognizable faces in Terrifying T-Rex is without a doubt actress Tamara Jones ( who some of you might have seen in Backwoods Bubba or from Martian Massacre ). Tamara have a natural way to play her characters in front of the camera, and she is definetely not shy to show herself. We also have actress Tina Vasile here ( who can also be seen in Backwoods Bubba ), and she knows exactly how to capture the audience with her magical screen presence. We have to take a moment and talk about one specific character in this film, that is so fantastic, that you will be crying out of joy. And that is the character known as Daniel Jansson, played by actor Bryan Matthew Ward. So why is this character so unique? Because this character is actually named after me, and that is something director James B. Thomasson fixed for me personally. So you can imagine hearing Bryan Matthew Ward saying the name:- Hi i am Daniel Jansson, this could be one of the best movie scenes made this year. It is like Bryan knew exactly how i would have wanted to be portrayed, if i were a character in a film. I know that it is just my name, and the character is quite different from the real me. But somehow it feels like a perfect match, that this moment was meant to be. So please award shows out there, nominate Bryan Matthew Ward for best actor, he deserves it for this role. The special effects are cheesy but fun, and the T-Rex looks like a special effect from a 1992 Super Nintendo game, wich is a good thing. Why make it too complicated when you can use the budget you have and still make it work? Terrifying T-Rex is no masterpiece in any way, and that´s ok. This is just a fun B movie that does not care about what is politically correct or what you can say or not. Terrifying T-Rex is the perfect example of B movie that want´s to entertain people who appreciate these kinds of films. Director James B. Thomasson knows how to make fun B movies, and i think this might be his best film yet. Definetely pick up Terrifying T-Rex on DVD and just enjoy yourself. If there ever is a sequel, i would love to have a small role in that film. Something tells me that the real Daniel Jansson and wonderful actress Tasha Miller ( who clearly knows how to make great characters ) is exactly what a sequel to Terrifying T-Rex needs. If possible, it could be the greatest combination in cinematic history.
