The trailer for the horror-comedyThe Invisible Raptor, starring Sean Astin, has debuted. Known for his performances inStranger ThingsandThe Lord of the Rings, Astin joins a cast of characters that include a disgraced paleontologist, his ex-girlfriend, an eccentric amusement park security guard, and a famous chicken farmer. Theytake on the near-impossible task of chasing and attempting to kill the hyper-intelligent invisible raptoron the loose in their town.
Well Go USA Entertainmenthas now releaseda trailer showing the invisible raptor stalking its prey, along with the hilarious attempts to take down the formidable predator. Check out the trailer below:
Astin appears to be a scientist who works in the laboratory where the invisible raptor was madeand where it escapes from before terrorizing the local town. Mike Capes, who is also one of the movie’s producers, plays paleontologist Grant Walker, whose dinosaur knowledge proves useful when hunting the raptor.
What This Means For The Invisible Raptor
It Can Follow In The Footsteps Of Other Horror Comedies
The Invisible Raptor’s horror-comedy is in the same vein asmovies likeCocaine Bear, theSharknadomovies, andRubber, the last of which follows a tire that comes to life and kills people.The Invisible Raptorhas an outrageous premise, but is fully aware of this, and does not take itself too seriously while fully leaning into the absurd heights of its comedy and horror. This tone is made clear as the dinosaur disarms Walker and fires his own gun at him, followed by Capes' overly dramatic delivery that the town is now threatened by an invisible raptor.
Having the well-known Astin as part of the cast can helpThe Invisible Raptorgain more attention.
WhileThe Invisible Raptoris unlikely to become a mainstream hit,it is poised to resonate with those who have enjoyedCocaine Bear,Sharknado,Rubber, and similarly over-the-top horror comedies. Having the well-known Astin as part of the cast can helpThe Invisible Raptorgain more attention, asLord of the Ringsactorsand other high-profile stars are often not in these kinds of movies. Even though he does not play the protagonist, Astin is still an important character connected to the raptor’s creation and escape.
Our Take On The Invisible Raptor Trailer
It Looks Entertaining For The Simplest Reasons
A hyper-intelligent invisible raptor and a cast featuring Astin are enough to make me curious about watching theabsurd horror-comedy movie. Dangerous creatures with a supernatural twist escaping a laboratory is coincidentally reminiscent to the premise ofStranger Things, although it is highly unlikely to have the same kind of success. Nevertheless,The Invisible Raptorlooks to be ridiculously entertaining enough to make it worth viewing.
