The Jurassic Dead is a 2017 horror movie directed by Milko Davis and Thomas Martwick. The film takes place on an island where a group of mercenaries and scientists are sent to retrieve a DNA sample from genetically modified dinosaurs. However, things quickly go wrong when the team realizes that the monsters they are dealing with are not only dinosaurs, but also reanimated zombies.

The movie starts off with scenes of lush green forests and beautiful landscapes, which set a peaceful tone from the get-go, but that's quickly shattered when we see the first zombie dinosaur tearing its way through the jungle.

The film's primary protagonist is Quint, played by Matt Block, a grizzled mercenary with a dark past. He's a no-nonsense, take-charge kind of guy who's dealt with dangerous situations before, but even he is taken aback when he sees the zombie dinos in action. Along with Quint is Sherman (Cooper Elliott), a computer expert who's brought along to unlock the facility where the DNA sample is kept, and Doctor Bota (Ben Johnson), a scientist who's worked on the project that created these monsters.

The group's mission seems simple enough, but their task becomes much more difficult when they realize that the facility is crawling with reanimated zombies. Along with the zombie dinos, the mercenaries must navigate their way through hordes of undead humans, who have been turned into zombies thanks to the mad science of the star of the movie, Professor Bota.

Despite the name, The Jurassic Dead isn't a typical zombie movie - this is the first film that features dinosaurs as the zombies, and that's what makes it stand apart from the rest. The movie's special effects are top-notch, and each dinosaur is expertly animated and detailed. It's a visual treat, with each zombie-dino coming in different shapes and sizes, and their animations and attacks are unique, making every encounter with them exciting and unpredictable.

The tension in the film is great too, with the survivors feeling like they could be attacked at any moment, and the zombies (both human and dino) showing up when the viewer least expects them. There's also a bit of humor thrown in, with the survivors quipping at each other during stressful situations. The film does a great job of balancing the tension and humor, and the result is a thrilling and enjoyable ride.

The film's music is also noteworthy, with an original score that adds to the overall sense of dread and suspense. The musical cues are expertly used to build tension, and the sound effects add to the realism of the zombie-dinos, making their roars and growls truly terrifying.

Overall, The Jurassic Dead is a fun and exciting horror movie that's worth watching. The combination of zombie-dinos and regular zombies adds a unique twist to the standard undead formula, and the film balances thrills and scares with humor and suspense. The film's special effects and musical score are expertly done, making it a must-see for fans of the horror genre.

The Jurassic Dead is a 2017 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 24 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 2.4.
