Remember when "MAD" magazine did its spoof of "Jurassic Park?" They called it "Your-Ass-Has-Had-It Park." The film being shown tonight was a template for that spoof.
I first saw this in second grade, and then I thought it packed a wallop! Years later, I saw it again, and what a difference!!!!!!!!!! The so-called dinosaurs were only lizards enlarged through glass slides! And it was SO obvious.
So, no thanks. Better to read Sir Arhtur Conan Doyle's (yes, darlings, the creator of Sherlock Holmes!) original novel--which I own! --."or to see bits of the 1925 version on You Tube. I don't know if the entire film is lost, but you can see a sequence that foreshadows such 1950's classics as "The Beast From 20, 000 Fathoms" and "The Giant Behemoth! I don't know if the entire film is lost, but I wish I could see the earlier one in its entirety.
Skip this one, darlings! Poor Claude Rains! He must have needed the money!
As for me, I would do a slasher before appearing in something like this!!!!!!!!!!!
Find yourselves something better to do tonight at 8PM, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we took the grandchildren to a lifelike dinosaur exhibit once and it was TOO realistic!!
They were terrified.
It wasn’t fun; I don’t like to scare children!!
Victoria, This movie would only bore them. So I do not recommend it.
