PREHYSTERIA! is perhaps one of the best known of the Charles Band-produced B-movies that came out during the 1980s and 1990s. Certainly it's a film that used to do the rounds in the video stores back in the day, cashing in on the success of all things dinosaur with JURASSIC PARK coming out at the same time. Austin O'Brien, the kid from LAST ACTION HERO, stars, playing the usual brattish character who comes into possession of some dinosaur eggs which hatch some miniature dinosaurs. The stand-out thing about this easy-viewing film is the quality of the stop-motion effects used to animate said dinosaurs; they look great, often seamless, and better than you'd think. The rest is rather lacklustre, with an ineffectual human villain and cheesy romance scenes, but it's the dinosaurs you'll remember here.
