|---|
"David Pascal is a young journalist who lives in the British countryside of Worchester with his mother. He becomes suspicious of a wildlife collector named Penward for grisly killings of a Siberian tiger which occurred in the peaceful and boring countryside. Pascal bravely seduces Penward's wife and learns the truth: Penward has used genetic engineering to turn chickens into dinosaurs. Soon, dinosaurs ranging from deinonychus to tarbosaurus are set loose causing death and destruction. "
