Plot:
An obsessive scientist discovers a way to bring dinosaurs back to life and when his family comes to visit, they find him dead, eaten by his creations.
Now the army and their chief scientist must figure out how to keep the dinosaurs contained and then destroy them before they escape and head for the city where total destruction would occur…
Reviews:
“Effects-wise, Hatched looks surprisingly better than the aforementioned Dinosaur Hotel. In fact it looks better than a lot of similar films from The Asylum; and given how low a budget Jeffrey and co. work with, that has to seriously be commended. Even mores when you consider this film feels very much like the Syfy channel monster movies of old, rather than a typical Scott Jeffrey production.” Nerdly
“Hatched is actually quite enjoyable in a cheesy, SyFy, B-movie way. It hits all the right notes, monsters and mad scientists performing dubious experiments explained with incomprehensible technobabble. And Castleford is near perfect as the batsh*t military figure drunk on his own authority.” Voices from the Balcony
