Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The animated Dinosaur Island cleverly turns a television trend inside out with the story of four teens sent to the Amazon to compete in a Survivor-like reality TV series, but forced to cooperate when they encounter dinosaurs and prehistoric, proto-humans. After their jet crashes in an unexplored region of the enormous forest, the kids soon discover a large pocket of arrested (evolutionary) development. Chased by Pterodactyls, preyed upon by Raptors, and threatened by at least one angry Stegosaurus mom (after an effort to dine upon one of her eggs), the adolescent heroes begin to live by their wits without the benefits of televised celebrity. The script isn't pure sci-fi hype: At least one of the characters offers some educational touchstones about the great lizards as well as ancient stages of human development. Mostly, however, this is just a fun family movie. --Tom Keogh

It's the Adventure of a Lifetime...If They Make It Back Alive!

Description

A group sets out to excavate dinosaur fossils in the Brazillian Amazon, but they get much more than they bargained for. On route, the plane crashes, the group, which includes a psycopath and quite a few voluptous ladies, is forced to fend for itself as it searches for a path back to civilization. The team comes across cannibals, wild beasts and slave traders. This walk through the jungle includes gore, violence and quite a bit of raunchy sex.

Yes, this is exactly what a B-movie should be!.......2007-06-12

I got this flick as part of a three-pack and wasn't sure what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! Suzanne Carvalho running around in the jungle topless, bondage, kinkiness, girls in peril, fisticuffs, explosions, shooting, Suzanne Carvalho, smart-aleck humor, and Suzanne Carvalho. Too bad she didn't make more flicks.

Into the Jungle!.......2007-06-12

As with Suzanne Carvalho's other films,this movie is a pure gem. It may be an imported film,but it has a great storyline. The movie tells the tale of a group of people who are interested in visiting Dinosaur Valley,an ancient and exciting jungle. However,the trip becomes a fight for survival as the plane goes down and the survivors must fight for their lives. The deaths are gruesome and the fights are breathtaking,and the special effects are worth every penny. The characters are great,and the action is exciting. It all leads to a deadly showdown between the final survivors and a group of cannibals who want to offer up the women for sacrifice. Gunshots and arrows clash,and many people are killed. This movie is a great Brazillian hit and you'll love it.

Quite a Gem.......2006-07-09

I've seen bad movies in my life and time. I mean really bad stinkers. Some movies you love because they are bad, some movies you want to slam your head against the wall (in comparison to having to watch the movie again). After watching Massacre in Dinosaur Valley and then watching the interview with Michael Sopkiw, I have to say this is a true jewel of a movie--the movie is bad in all the good ways. The action hero of this film, Michael Sopkiw, is someone you enjoy watching moving around, beating the bad guys up, and winning the girls. The women, mind you, are very lovely indeed. The story itself is not really there. I mean really...look at the title of the movie. You watch this kind of film for the pure mindnumbing adventure that leaves you wanting to watch it again and again. The movie itself has a bit of everything. Not really a "Cannibal Inferno" like the label on the DVD case speaks of, I'd say the "cannibal" portion is ... ah...maybe twenty or so minutes (give or take). The movie is really a bit of vignettes--one small story after the next wrapped around a plane crash and a need to get out of the jungles. All in all, I really think that if you enjoy really bad adventure movies, if you are the kind of chap or lass who enjoys watching goofy t&a, good fight scenes where the good guy pulls off the fight against the bad guys at the very end, then you'll enjoy watching this Michael Sopkiw film.

Jurassic Park 4 ! (just kidding).......2006-05-11

First off if your looking for another italian cannibal movie ( why? )this is not it.Massacre in Dinosaur Valley is more of a jungle adventure.The jist of the movie is a professor,his daughter,an archeologist,a Vietnam Vet and his wife plus some models!? go to a valley in the jungle to dig up bones and take pictures of the models with them.Yeah right.Anyway the plane crashes of course and they run into a crazy Marlon Brando type dude.I kinda liked this movie because it was different than most italian cannibal movies.It's the kind of movie you might find on the dusty bottom self of the horror section in the video store.Plus I have to mention the interview with Michael Sopkiw.This was a very good extra as he recalls his career with a good memory and sense of humor.I think i'll add a star because it was not so boring like you get with so many of these extras.

DULL !!!!.......2005-06-24

MASSACRE IN DINOSAUR VALLEY IS NOT WHAT YOU WOULD THINK. WELL OKAY MAYBE IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK, HOWEVER ON THE BACK OF THE DVD IT GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT THIS WAS A CANNIBAL MOVIE THEY ALSO GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT THIS WAS AN ACTION MOVIE,CRAP!!!! THE MOVIE CONTAINED NO GORE NO STORY NO ACTION AND JUST PLAIN DID NOT MAKE ANY SENSE THE MOVIE IS ABOUT SOME IDIOT'S THAT CRASHED LANDED IN SOME CURSED VALLEY (WHY THE VALLEY IS CURSED I HAVE NO IDEA)THEN THEY START TO RUN FROM SOME NOISE ALL OVER THE JUNGLE THEN SOME JERK START RELIVING THE GLORY DAYS BACK IN THE WAR STARTED KILLING AND PUSHING EVERYONE AROUND.TWO GIRLS GOT CAPTURED (WHAT,S LEFT OF THEM) THEN WAS RESCUED BY AN INDIANA JONES WANNBEE.THEY FINALY MADE IT AWAY FROM THE CANNIBALS (WHICH BY THE WAY THEY LOOK LIKE A POOR MAN,S CANNIBALS) ONLY TO BE CAPTURED BY SLAVE TRADERS (THIS IS WHAT THE MOVIE IS TRULY ABOUT) AND IT GETS EVEN DUMBER. NO GOOD QUAILTIES ABOUT THIS DVD MAYBE FOR DELETED SCENES THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT IN THE MOVIE.

PATHETIC!!! Just Pathetic!.......2004-08-14

This is an awful movie with completely innacurate dinosaurs. The T.rexes are too skinny, the "raptors" look like they are 10 feet tall (real ones were short- besides, their real scientific name is dromaeosaur), and the worst of all- pterodactyls! I do not like the names Brontosaurus (it's really Apatosaurus- don't let your kids call 'em brontosaurs) and Pteradactyl. They're really Pteranodons, and their wings look wrong! They were smooth and curved, not wiggly like bats as shown in the movie. And Triceratops- wouldn't it be a gentle giant?! The movie looks as if the animators has absolubtly NO help from paleotologists. So parents, I'm giving you a warning- whatever you do, DON'T let your children watch this dumb movie. Let them watch something more accurate, like Walking with Dinosaurs, okay? Yeesh. I've never watched it before and because of this, I do not intend to. It's just, well, PATHETIC!!! BOO!!!
