‘The Invisible Raptor’ Director and Co-Writers On Their Unique Dino Horror

How do you make dinosaur horror feel new? For Mike Hermosa, Mike Capes, and Johnny Wickham, you make the dino threat totally invisible. Yes, you read that right. In their new horror comedy The Invisible Raptor, their characters must escape the clutches of a literally invisible velociraptor wreaking havoc in a small American town.

In the film:

After a top-secret experiment goes wrong, a hyper-intelligent invisible raptor escapes the lab and begins wreaking havoc in the surrounding neighborhood. When the creature’s identity is uncovered, it soon becomes clear that a disgraced paleontologist—alongside his ex-girlfriend, an unhinged amusement park security guard, and a local celebrity chicken farmer—is the town’s only hope for surviving the raptor’s ravenous rampage.

We spoke with director Mike Hermosa and co-writers Mike Capes and Johnny Wickham about their ridiculous yet effective approach to dino horror, John Stamos’ connection to the film, and more!

The Invisible Raptor is out now on VOD and comes to Blu-ray from Well Go USA on February 4, 2025.
