Definitions of CARNOSE in various dictionaries:

Carnosaur is a 1993 American science fiction horror film written and directed by Adam Simon. The film stars Diane Ladd, Raphael Sbarge, Jennifer Runyon, and Harrison Page. The film's plot revolves around a mad scientist who plans to recreate dinosaurs and destroy humanity. The film is loosely based on the 1984 novel Carnosaur by John Brosnan (under the pseudonym of Harry Adam Knight). The book and film have little in common, with the exception of the villain's same basic motive, and the explicit gore and violence. It was the only film based on a Brosnan novel to be produced in America.The film was released to theaters on May 21, 1993 by Concorde Films, just four weeks before the larger-scale blockbuster Jurassic Park. As a result, Carnosaur may be considered a "mockbuster". Diane Ladd's daughter Laura Dern was one of the stars of Jurassic Park. Carnosaur grossed $1.8 million at the box office on a budget of $850,000. Film critic Roger Ebert named it the worst movie of 1993.The film spawned two official sequels, Carnosaur 2 in 1995 and Carnosaur 3: Primal Species in 1996. The second film fared poorly at the box office and the remainders were released direct-to-video. Stock footage from the first three films was used in the spin-offs Raptor and The Eden Formula.
