Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Somehow today I remembered this is one of those films I never entered in my watched films here.Raptor is one of those films that knows how campy it is, a low budget horror film that has nothing to offer you really.Well, not nothing, it's got an almost 10 minute sex scene that makes it somewhat worthwhile and that's one of my cherished memory as a teenager without much access to fast internet !!!

This movie reaches an all time low in quality. Most shots not involving the painfully fake raptor or the main characters is a shot taken from the directors previous movies, Carnosaurs 1, 2, and 3. Which only adds to the cheese factor of this movie. Make no mistake, this movie is far from scary, but the violence and bad acting are incredibly funny. Instead of scares, you get gallons of Kool-Aid colored fake blood and cheesy death sequences. As with all other Sci-Fi Channel movies, you should not expect a quality horror movie, but a comedy. I suggest watching with friends, as this always makes the movie more laughable and bearable. Give it a chance, and don't expect even the slightest amount of seriousness,and you'll love it.

OK, lets get one thing straight, i love dinosaur movies, even the bad ones. So with this in mind lets proceed. "Raptor" is a truly awful film, in fact its not even a film in its own right as it is cobbled together from bits of "Carnosaur", "Carnosaur 2" & "Primal Species - Carnosaur 3". There is some new footage with Eric Roberts as a sheriff and his busty sidekick running around looking confused, frightened or whatever it is there trying to convey (badly) on the emotional scale but then how can they react to something that was filmed several years earlier. The producers (yes Roger Corman i'm talking about you!) even went to the lengths of hiring 2 people from "Carnosaur" to play bit parts so there grisly death scenes can be reused! So this film is the cheapest of the cheap. Watch the 3 original movies, there no Oscar winners but they have some meritt and entertainment value but avoid "Raptor". Oh, it also has the most pointless sex scene that runs for nearly 10 minutes! Do you think they were trying to pad out the running time?

Play the Corman Drinking Game! Every time you SEE a shot lifted from another movie, TAKE a shot. I assure you, you will be thoroughly wasted by the time the credits roll.Now, I'm used to the Concorde phenomenon of splicing in scenes from their other flicks to save a buck or two. But "Raptor" takes it over the border of suspended disbelief. Actors and vehicles change between shots, almost to the point where I couldn't enjoy the movie.Almost.This flick suffers a lot at the hands of various factors, one of which is mentioned above. But it is saved, just barely, by exceptional cinematography, good acting, and two bangin' hotties.Eric Roberts plays a small town sheriff faced with a rash of bizarre mutilations. Could they be the work of a crazy cougar? An escaped felon bent on revenge? Nope! It's the Carnosaurs (They're baaaaaaack...). And it's up to Roberts and Animal Control agent Melissa Brasselle to stop the scene-chewing Corbin Bernsen and his merry band of flesh-eating critters. What you might think would be a straight-forward creature flick actually tries to infuse some plot into the proceedings, which keeps you interested between the dino slayings. Sure, it's nothing to write home about, but if you're killing time on a rainy day, you could do worse.
