Dinosaur from the Deep is a 1993 French-language horror science-fiction B movie by filmmaker Norbert Moutier and starring Jean Rollin, Tina Aumont and Sylvaine Charlet. Produced to capitalize on the success of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, the project was filmed with a minuscule budget and has become notorious for its poor special effects.

Plot

After the death penalty has been abolished in 2004, and not knowing how to deal with an abominable criminal recidivist, the FBI's experts and lawyers decide to send the condemned on a journey through time to a time when the sentence still applied. For financial reasons, this expedition is coupled with a scientific mission charged with tracing the first dinosaurs. They find they did exist, and the crew is in pursuit of the prisoner now at large.

Production

The film was produced to capitalize on the success of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. It was filmed with a low budget and the dinosaurs were made of clay and papier-mâché, and in some scenes moved in stop-motion.

Cast

Release

The film was not released theatrically in France, but only in VHS in 1994.
