Scorpius Gigantus is a 2006 American science-fiction film from producer Roger Corman directed by Tommy Withrow. It is a remake of Carnosaur 3.[1][2]
Reel Film called it "an effort that's pretty much a wash on every level, and it hardly seems likely that Roger Corman himself would be able to muster up a convincing recommendation."[3]
Dread Central said the film "doesn’t bring anything new to the formula, nor does it even aspire to do so. That would be acceptable if it at least did a good job being a retread. It doesn’t."[4]
Plot
A geneticist seeks to make a name for herself by saving the planet from diseases by using eons-old antibodies, harvested from enlarged six legged creatures. The creatures don't like being big and escape. Now a Delta Force team must contain this threat before it's too late.
