Summary: ALIENS????
Review: This movie was MUCH MUCH better than the original Carnosaur. Although the plot is a rip on James Cameron's ALIENS. (Problems at a government facility, one kid survives, an elite team sent in to investigate, characters picked off here and there by scary creatures, and a must-escape-from-a-building-about-to-be-turned-into-nuclear-dust scene.) The effects kinda suck, but the dinosaurs looked very scary. The tyrannosaurus head model at the end is pretty real, but when the camera switches to a shot of a small scale modle of the rex battleing a fork lift...just doesn't work. But, it's a very good B-grade movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Best Of them All!
Review: This sequel is much better than the original "Carnosaur". Part 2 has some fine special effects & exciting chills.
The plot is about a group of technicians who attempt to restore power at a top mining facility... The best in the series.

Summary: Not bad. A definite step up from the first film.
Review: You wouldn't think, given how offensively awful the first film was, that anyone would bother with a sequel. You, however, are not Roger Corman. He along with Director Louis Morneau have surprisingly managed to pull off a fairly decent follow-up.

It benefits from tighter pacing, an entertaining story that borrows heavily from "Aliens", and slightly improved special effects. Even without the generously gory carnage the movie offers, I would still recommend it for the fun back and forth between actors John Savage and Cliff DeYoung. Their dialogue, alone, is nothing short of priceless and adds to the reason why I've given this movie an additional star.

All in all, a pleasant surprise.
