Terrordactyl
Terrordactyl (2016) starring Christopher John Jennings, Jason Tobias, Candice Nunes, Jack E. Curenton
Terrordactyl is a modern creature feature, in the style of the cheesy monster movies that we grew up with. Except for a few minor language issues, I recommend it wholeheartedly. It’s fun, fast-paced, with good acting. It has a nice mix of humor and horror, and the special effects are fine.
