Reviews:
Despite the lack of puppet-on-the-loose action, Killer/Saurus is a fun little sci-fi/horror picture with some appealing performances from its cast and a solid awareness of its limitations. It’s played completely straight when many such microbudget fancies would descend into silliness or spoofery.” MJ Simpson
“For a supposed “Killer”saurus, he sure does like to tease us. Honestly, about a third of this film is a dinosaur looking at a man. Talking about teasing, why not just give us the expected “Jed’s dead.” line you’ve been hinting at since about minute five? Painful throughout, but some of that dialogue tickles while it smarts.” Jim Drew, Letterboxd.com

My main criticism of the film is its rigidity and lack of playfulness. It’s a crazy concept, but it doesn’t really embrace it, instead veering towards a dramatic narrative which seems a little misplaced. As it stands, while Killersaurus should be commended for its low budget achievements, there is a feeling it could have been so much better.” Dave Wain, Zombie Hamster
