Attack of the Sabretooth Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Ryan (catpantry) One of my favorite movies, easily! Now I know what some of you are saying: 'NOTHING IS GOOD ABOUT THIS FILM.' However some of you, like me, say gosh darn, some of these lines are neat as hell like: 'We bread 3' and 'The cats are bulimic, they kill, they eat, and then throw up and eat again.' The movie is actually sort of therapeutic in a way, feeding my short attention span with it's natural fast drama between the cats and human characters. It's not that these cats are scary, their actually very misunderstood. One of them was accidentally genetically engineered to be huge with hind legs "Like jello," according to what I would call a very creative role of this film who plays a scientist. "It drags itself on its hind legs," he informs someone in a suspenseful way (but it's not suspenseful). Come on, was the acting really a zero? No. Absolutely not. The acting was just like any other sci-fi movie, shallow with a weird affect, and it somehow always entertains me, I laugh uncontrollably. And I've seen some people die very creative deaths in sci-fi movies but the way the guy died in the end of this one made me pause for a quick second, and say 'what the heck,' then laugh like hell.
Scarecrow-88 Three giant sabretooth tigers(..created in a laboratory from mitochondrial DNA, a "genetic breakthrough" derived from fossil material)are on the rampage accidentally set free through a series of events(such as a computer geek's introduced virus in order to unlock security measures keeping the resort novelty shops closed during construction & a security guard's leaving a gate open while searching for the missing page from a porn mag that flew away in the breeze)that threaten the lives of those it comes in contact with. The tigers are always hungry, but are unable to digest what they eat. So pretty much the tigers just rip their prey to shreds. Victims include a group of college kids(..the stereotypes include a goth girl, jock and tech nerd), security personnel, and those somewhat developed rich scoundrels who we can easily despise and wish horrible death.Rounding out a series of bad sci-fi channel flicks, Attack of the Sabretooth has some of the most wretched computer simulated animals I've seen yet. And, the final death sequence is so putridly presented, you'll demand within the deepest recesses of your soul the time spent on this truly awful exercise in the creature feature canon. There's some good dark humor deriving from heads being torn from necks, but even here the prosthetic work is unconvincing. Prosthetic body parts and blood aplenty as victims are pounced upon, crying for help and receiving none. I'm starting to sound like a broken record, repeating myself in every user comment I write for these sci-fi channel flicks. I think maybe it's time to move on to other kinds of cinema. Robert Carradine has a role as a ruthless businessman who is being wooed by his truly repellent ex-brother-in-law, Nicholas Bell, the one opening "Primal Park", a resort / zoo featuring genetically created sabretooth tigers as it's major attraction. Stacy Haiduk, still quite yummy, is a security officer who attempts to convince Bell to get the investors he hopes to goad into putting money in his multi-million dollar project to leave the island. Brian Wimmer is Haiduck's lover and his role is a mechanic keeping operations running smoothly.Bell's fate at the end, resulting from a dislodged tooth from a sabretooth tiger statue is the pits. Carradine spends a great deal of the film taunting Bell, his arch nemesis. The tiger's point-of-view shows humans in a bright color as it moves towards them. The film ultimately consists of characters walking through darkened corridors(..the tech nerd's virus cut off the power)worried for their safety. The college kids commit breaking and entering to score certain items needed(..it's a scavenger hunt type of activity)to enter a fraternity / sorority. The cast playing these kids do not rise above their clichés.
sol **Some Spoilers** Run of the mill prehistoric DNA generated monster flick involving this group of fun loving teenagers going on a scavenger hunt on the exclusive island paradise of Valalola in the Fuji islands. It's there that the island's owner the arrogant and all full of himself Niles is planning his Primal Park resort where he has genetically engineered three ferocious saber tooth tigers. Niles did all that in order to attract thousands of tourists and their millions of dollars they'll be more then willing to spend to see the prehistoric big cats.Niles wanting to stick it to his ex-brother in law Grant who had once bankrupted him in a drawn out legal battle now what's him to eat his heart out on this new found gold mine he has in Valalola. It turns out that the only ones doing any eating in the movie is this trio of saber tooth tigers who by the time the movie is over have eaten almost the entire cast, including Grant and his stuck up girlfriend Autumn.This horror begins when scavenger hunt participants Robby & Kirk disarm the islands security system releasing the big cats on those millionaire Wall Street big wigs who came to invest in Niel's latest venture. Not wanting to scare his future clients away Niles does everything he can to keep them from finding out that their lives are in danger thus endangering them even more then they already are!The saber tooth tigers themselves are a piece of work in that their severally bulimic causing them, after tearing them apart, to takes just a bite or two out of their victim's and leaving what's left more or less, for a better word, both intact and in pieces! The biggest of the three big cats, weighing almost a ton, is unable to use his hind legs causing him to crawl after his victims who are either too scared or hysterical, with laughter, to run away from him.Niles himself is so stuck on his latest invention, the park and it's man eating inhabitants, that he still doesn't get it in how dangerous the big cats are until the very end of the movie. It's then that Niles finally gets the point to how crazy his venture with the unknown and unexpected really is by the "point", a what looks like a 12 foot long saber tooth, getting to him first!Not that bad of a made for TV horror/monster movie with the special effects as good as you can expect them to be for it's less then 3 million dollar budget. About a third of what the salary of actor Bruce Willis would be if he stared in the film.
kev89 I caught this on SciFi on while ago and it's one of the better SciFi original movies out there. That's not saying much, but I enjoyed it.Story- I'll say it now, the story sucks. It's a rip off of Jurassic Park. The theme park is called Primal Park and it even has the same logo, with a sabretooth. We have the typical group of college students, a smart Asian, a hot love interest, a goth girl, a dumb jock, and a dumb blonde. And we have the typical greedy business owner who suffers a terrible fate. Plus, a security guard in an affair with a park employee that really makes no sense. Oh, and the business owner's evil brother-in-law. Yeah, I'll stop there. Story gets a 1 out of 10.Effects- The special effects are so bad it's funny. First, a couple of nameless security guards get offed in the most unrealistic way possible. Then, when we see the sabretooths, they look so fake, it's disturbing. Then, three of the main characters suffer three of the fakest, and funniest, decapitations in movie history. Remember I said the greedy business owner suffers a terrible fate. Well, the tooth on a giant sabretooth structure falls right into his mouth, instantly killing the man, resulting in the stupidest, most pointless, death in movie history. Again, it is hilarious. I'll say the effects are average due to the humorous fakeness, and give them a 5 out of 10.Rewatchability- Let's just say, it's funny the first time you watch it, but it gets old fast.So, in the end, the only thing that makes this an average movie is the hilarious deaths. None of the others are quite as funny as the tooth in the mouth, but they're all pretty funny, especially since it's impossible for you to feel bad for any of them with the crappy story. I recommend watching it once, but don't buy it. 5 out of 10.
