Stumbling upon the 2016 movie "Terrordactyl", I had to sit down and watch it. The concept of the movie seemed like something that could be fun, and it also looked like one of those cheesy bad B movies.
Needless to say that I had never heard about "Terrordactyl" from writer Don Bitters III. But I will say that this movie was actually every bit as campy, cheesy and low budget as you would assume it to be - but in a good way. Yeah, this is one of those movies that are so bad that they are actually enjoyable to watch.
The storyline is pretty simplistic, if not actually a bit too simplistic. But it actually works well enough in favor of the movie, and it makes for a good, cheesy 95 minutes of fun watching.
The acting performances in "Terrordactyl" were actually okay. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble at all here, but they put on good enough performances to make the movie worthwhile watching.
And the special effects were actually not that bad. Sure, every now and again there was something toe-curling, but for the majority of the movie then I will say that the special effects were actually good. Not blockbuster Hollywood good, but surprisingly good for a movie of this caliber.
However, "Terrordactyl" is a movie that came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression. Sure, I can tick it off of my to-watch-list now, but I doubt I will ever return to it a second time.
My rating of directors Don Bitters III and Geoff Reisner's 2016 "Terrordactyl" lands on a five out of ten stars.
