When a routine construction blast shakes their sleepy town, a group of locals discover that the explosion has awakened two dinosaurs.

When a routine construction blast shakes their sleepy town, a group of locals discover that the explosion has awakened two dinosaurs from a centuries-long slumber, who soon run amok in the local woods on a rampage of terror. The Super 8 classic from Mark Polonia, director of Splatter Farm and Feeders, and includes bonus SOV feature film The Dinosaur Chronicles (2004).

Mark Polonia's grassroots Super 8 mini-epic serves as the ultimate blue-collar counterpoint to Steven Spielberg's $63 million dinosaur blockbuster from the previous year. Brimming with wobbly effects, puppetry, and endearing stop-motion, it distills dinosaur fantasy cinema down to its most unpolished, childlike and heartfelt essence. Assembled with the help of family and friends, Saurians is a true homespun indie gem-- ultimately radiating more guts and grit than any CGI-laden spectacle.
