PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

When her father mysteriously goes missing, divorcee Laura LeCrois (ELENA LYONS) is forced to return home to the Louisiana wetlands for the first time in 20 years… and nothing is as she remembers it.<\/p>\n

There she is reunited with her ex-boyfriend, Tim Richards (LOCHLYN MUNRO) who is now the sheriff, and ex-husband, Dr. Charles LeBlanc (MARK SHEPPARD), who is suspiciously buying up the town\u2019s surrounding marshes. In an effort to save her father\u2019s property from her land-hungry ex, Laura decides to work the dying family business and takes a couple out for a sunset boat tour. But the trip takes a disturbing turn when they encounter a terrifying creature unlike any they\u2019ve seen before, a 50-foot-long, lightning-fast, sharp-toothed, underwater reptile to be extinct.<\/p>\n

Now with a prehistoric predator on the loose, Sheriff Richards has a growing list of missing people… But when Laura realizes Charles might be responsible for the genetically engineered monster, they may have even bigger problems on their hands.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 2.5\/5 | AUDIO \u2014 2.0\/5
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Jurassic Predator<\/em><\/strong> is shown with an anamorphic widescreen 1.78 aspect ratio and looks every bit as bad as the budget shows with washed out colors and an all in all cheap looking feel to it.<\/p>\n

The Dolby Digital 2.0 track doesn\u2019t fare any better though dialogue is loud and discernable but any action is utterly flat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 0.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Jurassic Predator<\/em><\/strong>, or as it was originally titled Xtinctions: Predator X<\/em>, before somebody decided to utilize the French version in the hopes to capitalize on the success of Jurassic World<\/em>, is a terrible film through and through; I\u2019d say it\u2019s SyFy quality work but that might be an insult to SyFy.<\/p>\n

This DVD release has so-so (at best) video and audio transfers and only a trailer, shame there was no commentary from somebody to defend it, might\u2019ve been more entertaining than the film itself…<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
