Carnivore

Carnivore is an unintentionally hilarious and campy sci-fi horror novel written by Leigh Scott. It's an unusual cross between Jurassic Park and John Carpenter's The Thing. In it, a group of researchers and evil Russians use chemicals to make a revived and recently hatched Tyrannosaurus Rex baby grow to adult size in a matter of weeks.

Because this is a Tyrannosaurus Rex and it does get mistreated, it gets loose and goes on a rampage at an isolated Antarctic research outpost. It then proceeds to eat everyone. Bloody Hilarity Ensues.

It's a cliche-ridden B-movie fest with characters we've come to expect in crappy horror movies and the very concept of a maneating dinosaur stalking humans in well beyond below zero temperatures of the Arctic is idiotic.

Because of this, it is immensely entertaining.
