In the fun, entertaining new film, The End of Oak Street, Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor star as a married couple in the early 1980s. One night, their entire suburban neighborhood is transported to a time filled with a variety of large and dangerous dinosaurs. Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows), it’s part action-adventure, part monster movie, part dark comedy. But after so many dino-packed blockbusters, does this movie offer a fresh take to the prehistoric creature feature?

If you need a few more creature features, check out these episodes:
'Minions & Monsters' is, oddly enough, a love letter to Old Hollywood

‘Jaws’ is still stuck in our teeth, 50 years later
