Struggling after leaving a secret project, a researcher haunted by the tragic accident that ended the project returns to the site to get some closure, but when she learns that the Tyrannosaurus Red they created is still alive they try to get out of the building alive before it gets to them.
For the most part, this one was a rather troublesome effort. One of the biggest aspects of this one is the overall setup of the film. The start of the project, consisting of coordinating research on the creation of artificial human limbs and organs through grafting strands of DNA to make these organs, is a wholly useful and original setup to start one of these films with. The whole series of double-crosses here as to the overall purpose of the experiment by the various agencies coming into play here gives this some solid twists and turns is quite an enjoyable storyline for this kind of low-budget effort. There's also a rather strong feeling throughout here of how appropriately this one stretches its low-budget make-up for its good. The simplistic storyline here that keeps everything in one location with minimal outside influences on the film serves it well, and with the small cast in this setting, there's some fun here in seeing how things play out. That also extends to the use of the giant dinosaur which is decidedly obvious about its puppet nature from the beginning due to the immobility and inflexible nature of the beast that becomes obvious the second it's on-screen yet becomes quite enjoyable for being a practical effect utilizing its budget. These here are what manage to hold this one up. There are a few major problems with this one, and they all tend to revolve around the films' budget limitations. There's nothing at all that happens in the film here since there's nothing in the budget to have anything go on or go anyplace with so few locations in the film. This one can't afford action so it replaces that with utterly endless scenes featuring the three of them discussing the exploits of the experiment and what happened at the end, reducing the dino action to just a few minor minutes at the very end. Then the film seemingly ends without any kind of resolution or payoff due to the film's lack of budget, so without much dino action or gore, there's not a whole lot to this one.
