A 2005 American Horror Made-for-TV Movie directed by Mark L Lester that deals with a dormant volcano that holds an old deadly secret that threatens the world.

The movie stars Cameron Daddo, Coolio, Amy Sloan, George Calil, Steve Braun, Mircea Monroe, Jessica Ferrarone, and Todd Kramer.

It aired on August 27, 2006 on Syfy.


Tropes for the film:

  • Made of Plasticine:
    • One of the characters is snapped up by the titular reptile in a fell swoop, leaving behind his strangely-detachable legs.
    • Later on, a teenage girl is snatched by the shoulders...and tears in half at the waist. Apparently, the human body is simply too fragile to handle its own weight.
    • One of the flying reptiles decapitates a man with ITS WING. Apparently, not only are Pteranodons made of iron, they are razor-sharp as well.
  • One-Word Title: Pterodactyl.
  • Tagline: "Ptowering Pterror".
  • Terror-dactyl: The Pteranodons featured look like they took steroids and decided to go bipedal.
