Massacre in Dinosaur ValleyMassacre in Dinosaur Valley
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.09
A lighter take on the italian-jungle cannibal film. Funny dialogue from a corny script and messy plot. No dinos, no cannibals, and bearly any gore. Plenty of boobs.

Definately more of a science fiction film than horror, but packs plenty of the red stuff. Zombie Flesh Eaters' Ian McCulloch stars in this italian Alien ripoff..
