Carnosaur (film)
''Carnosaur'' is a 1993 science fiction horror film starring Diane Ladd as a mad scientist who plans to recreate dinosaurs and destroy humanity. The film is loosely based on the novel ''Carnosaur'' by John Brosnan (under the pseudonym of Harry Adam Knight) that was released in 1984, but the two have little in common. They share only a few scenes, the villain still has the same basic motive, and both contain explicit gore and violence.〔(Stomp Tokyo: ''Carnosaur'' review )〕 It was the only film based on a Brosnan novel to be produced in America.〔(''John Brosnan 1947–2005'' )〕 As it was released four weeks before the larger-scale blockbuster ''Jurassic Park'', ''Carnosaur'' may be considered a "mockbuster".〔Brian Raftery. "(Now Playing: Cheap-and-Schlocky Blockbuster Ripoffs )", ''Wired'', 21 December 2009. Retrieved 25 June 2011.〕 Diane Ladd's daughter Laura Dern was one of the stars of ''Jurassic Park''.
The film grossed $1,753,979 at the box office and spawned two official sequels. The second film did poorly at the theater and the remainder were released direct-to-video. Stock footage from the first three films was used in the spin-offs ''Raptor'' and ''The Eden Formula''.
==Plot==
Set in the American Southwest, Doc (Raphael Sbarge) is an alcoholic security watchman protecting digging equipment from environmental activists, though he befriends one of them named Thrush (Jennifer Runyon). Meanwhile, Dr. Jane Tiptree (Diane Ladd) of the Eunice Corporation is breeding a strain of extra large and fertile chickens by splicing their DNA with that of crocodiles, iguanas, albatrosses, vultures, pelicans, turkeys and ostriches. Unknown to the Corporation's sponsors however, Tiptree is impregnating several of the chickens with dinosaur DNA. One of her resulting creatures, a ''Deinonychus'', escapes and kills the activists, as well as other civilians. Doc investigates and discovers that Tiptree is also creating a virus which causes women to fatally conceive baby dinosaurs, in order to wipe out humanity and thus allow Carnosaurs and Raptors to reclaim the Earth as their own. Tiptree dies giving birth to a baby raptor. After narrowly escaping a ''Tyrannosaurus'' and the lab, Doc takes Thrush to a house to recover and injects a serum to cure her. Doc battles the ''Tyrannosaurus'' with a skidsteer (an action that was repeated in the fourth sequel) before impaling it. The government infiltrates the community in order to "sterilize" the situation by shooting all the civilians, infected or not. Thrush dies from the virus, meaning that the serum did not work. Doc is shot and killed by government soldiers, who then burn his and Thrush's bodies.
