“Feels like it was made by a stoned sixth-grader.” – Bleeding Skull
When a routine construction blast shakes their sleepy town, a group of locals discover that the explosion has awakened two dinosaurs from a centuries-long slumber, who soon run amok in the local woods on a rampage of terror.
Mark Polonia’s grassroots Super 8 mini-epic serves as the ultimate blue-collar counterpoint to Steven Spielberg’s $63 million dinosaur blockbuster from the previous year. Brimming with wobbly effects, puppetry, and endearing stop-motion, it distills dinosaur fantasy cinema down to its most unpolished and heartfelt essence. Assembled with the help of family, friends, Saurians is a true homespun indie gem— ultimately radiating more guts and grit than any CGI-laden spectacle.
