The End of Oak Street




 David Robert Mitchell crafted one of the best horror films this century in It Follows. He has dabbled into noir but now he is back in genre film making with sci fi and dinosaurs in It Dinos. This is a fun flick, not just a fun flick but a great flick. Bad Robot feels like Amblin, and where Steven Spielberg showed JJ Abrams on Super 8, JJ seems to be doing the same for Mitchell here. There is heart, a family dynamic, some great acting, insane tension, amazing and accurate creature effects and designs and some genuine shocks. The film pushed the limit of PG 13 and in saying that it has balls, big ol dino balls.....not really.....but now that you mention it ......any how this is probably the best dinosaur film since Jurassic World if not Jurassic Park.....unless we are counting Godzilla Minus One, but apples and oranges, a tasty fruit is a tasty fruit and unlike the last few Jurassic flicks this one has nutrients.
