Waste of time
A lot of fun.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
I was expecting little from Attack of the Sabretooth, and got very little. Even with its major problems somehow it is not SyFy's worst or among them. The only real redeeming quality is Robert Carradine, who has been better but at least tries his best with bad lines and a clichéd character. The rest of the acting is awful, especially from the teenagers, ranging from bland to ridiculously over-the-top. In all honesty though they are not helped by the terribly stilted writing which does nothing to develop the characters or make us care about their situation, and how stereotypically and annoyingly their characters are written, at the end of the day you don't give a toss about these people. The story is also a mess, predictable, dully paced and also derivative of Jurassic Park but without the excitement and thrills. And visually Attack of the Sabretooth looks very cheap, with choppy editing and effects so bad and fake that you can't help but laugh. There is a lot of gore, but excessive and cheap-looking at that, part of the reason why the death scenes seemed so poorly done as well the lack of any real sense of terror or suspense. Overall, a really bad movie but despite its many problems I've seen worse. 2/10 Bethany Cox
I remember watching ATTACK when it first came out and caught it again recently. The sci fi channel has run worse, but not by much. A shameless ripoff of Jurassic Park, ATTACK substitutes sabertooth cats for dinosaurs. And they are on the loose, devouring as many extras as possible. The CGI is pretty bad, and closeups of prosthetic cat heads are laughable. We get some gore, which helps a little. Wait until you see how the mad scientist who started this whole mess gets it. Other than Robert Carradine, who has very little to do, the cast is unknown. Apparently this was shot in Fiji. Nice work if you can get it. Reminds me of all those low-budget monster STVs that were popular in the 80s and 90s.
THIS MOVIE WAS THE GREATEST MOVIE I'D EVER SEEN. If you're ever in the mood for an amazing movie, regardless of what kind of genres you like, this movie is for you. It is for everyone. Attack of the Sabretooth contains every element of a cinematic masterpiece. It is basically the greatest thing humanity has ever created. Seriously. I'm not being sarcastic, I've never had a better 90 minutes in my entire life. YOU MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE. TEN OUT OF TEN. I WILL NEVER WATCH ANY OTHER MOVIE IN MY LIFE. THIS IS THE ONLY THING I NEED. IN LIFE. NOT JUST MOVIES. THE ONLY THING I WILL DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE IS WATCH THIS OVER AND OVER. AND CRY WITH JOY. I LEFT MY WIFE FOR THIS MOVIE.
Take "Jurassic park" and remove the acting ability of the cast, shrink the special effects budget to about 5 dollars, and take out any interesting parts of the plot and you have "Attack of the Sabretooth".Still I did enjoy this amusing "B" movie and i based my rating on other movies in this gutter league.The acting ranged from weak: the cast of teens, to pretty good : the "maintenance man", to over the top: the park owner and his ex brother in law.The CGI is occasionally cool.The gore is fun and a few of the death scenes fairly imaginative.If you are a fan of garbage gore B movies this one might be worth a look for you.
