Imagine Jurassic Park but you can’t see the dinosaurs. People running scared, getting attacked, torn to pieces, and yet there’s nothing there. Are you watching a film before the visual effects are finished or are you watching The Invisible Raptor?
If it’s after December 6, it’s the latter. Directed by Mike Hermosa, The Invisible Raptor comes to on-demand and select theaters Friday. It’s about a killer raptor that escapes a lab and begins to cause chaos all over town. A killer raptor that just so happens to be invisible. io9 has an exclusive clip from the film below and… you’ll get the idea here.
Did that invisible raptor just steal and fire a shotgun? Yes. Yes, it did.
The Invisible Raptor stars Mike Capes, David Shackelford, Caitlin McHugh Stamos, Sandy Martin, Bobby Gilchrist, Richard Riehle, and the man himself, Sean Astin. Here’s the official plot synopsis:
After a top-secret experiment goes wrong, a hyper-intelligent invisible raptor escapes the lab and begins wreaking havoc in the surrounding neighborhood. When the creature’s identity is uncovered, it soon becomes clear that a disgraced paleontologist—alongside his ex-girlfriend, an unhinged amusement park security guard, and a local celebrity chicken farmer—is the town’s only hope for surviving the raptor’s ravenous rampage.
“An unhinged amusement park security guard.” Amazing. We haven’t watched The Invisible Raptor yet but its premise is so wacky, and this clip so funny, we just had to let you know about it. Here’s the full trailer. Are you going to check it out?
