The Jurassic Park franchise expanded recently with the premiere of Jurassic World Rebirth. As is standard with Jurassic Park movies, one of the aspects of Jurassic World Rebirth that audiences anticipated most were the death scenes. 

The franchise is known for its spectacular dinosaur attacks, which most often befall the villains. Viewers interested in the death scenes can use our guide to find out where to watch the 10 most gruesome deaths in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies. 

Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park (1993)

Dennis Nedry boasted one of the worst and most memorable deaths in the original Jurassic Park. In the film, Nedry is a disgruntled Jurassic Park employee who attempts to steal dinosaur embryos during a power shutdown. However, he gets lost in the rain and realizes a dinosaur is stalking him. The dinosaur reveals itself to be a small juvenile Dilophosaurus with colorful frills framing its face. However, it has a nasty surprise for Nedry, unexpectedly shooting venom into his eyes and temporarily blinding him before mauling him. The dinosaur's unexpected and extremely painful ability adds to the gruesome and shocking nature of Nedry’s death.

Dieter Stark in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

The Lost World: Jurassic Park boasts the highest number of gruesome deaths, including Dieter Stark’s (Peter Stormare). Stark makes the poor choice of going off alone in the park to use the bathroom and antagonizes a few little Compsognathus dinosaurs. However, the Compsognathus soon return in a pack, overwhelming Stark with hundreds of tiny, painful bites all over his body. Although he gets away several times, he ultimately falls to the Compsognathus, who slowly pluck all the flesh off his body bit by bit. It’s one of the slowest, most agonizing, and painful deaths in the franchise.

Eddie Carr in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

Eddie Carr (Richard Schiff) has one of the most gruesome and saddest deaths in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, considering he’s one of the good guys. As a tech specialist at the park, he tries to protect the visitors, including distracting two T. rex until the visitors can reach safety. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs turn their attention toward him, smashing through the car he’s in until one grabs him by the legs, flipping him in the air, and biting down on his head. The other dinosaur grabs his legs, and the two play tug-of-war with his body until it tears in half. It’s a gruesome, graphic death wholly undeserved by Eddie, who made a heroic sacrifice.

Peter Ludlow in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Peter Ludlow (Arliss Howard), the nephew of Dr. Hammond, wants to build a new Jurassic Park in San Diego. Hence, he has the brilliant idea to bring an adult and infant T. rex on a ship to transport them to San Diego. Of course, the dinosaurs get loose and instantly kill everyone onboard, except Ludlow. The adult T. rex decides to play with him, first breaking his legs and then dropping him on the deck for the infant, which gleefully tears off his face. Ludlow’s prolonged death in The Lost World: Jurassic Park is quite torturous and agonizing.

David Koepp in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

The Lost World: Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp cameos in the movie as an unnamed civilian in San Diego. After killing Ludlow, the T. rex on the ship makes its way to San Diego, terrorizing all the unfortunate people who happen to be in the city, including Koepp. While most of the civilians narrowly escape death, Koepp turns and runs toward a building, only to find it locked. The T. rex quickly snatches him up and eats him. While it’s not the goriest or most painful death in the franchise, it is quite nightmarish considering he was just an innocent civilian who died the most absurd death at the hands of a random T. rex in San Diego.

Udesky in Jurassic Park III (2001)

Udesky (Michael Jeter) is a booking agent in Jurassic Park III, hired by the Kirby family to find their son, who went missing near Isla Sorna. During the mission, he becomes separated from his group, and two raptors corner him, taking their time killing him. The raptors appear sadistic, as they cause him pain without eating him, including clawing his legs and back and stabbing him with a toe claw in the spine to paralyze him. Finally, after an agonizing, prolonged attack, the raptors break his neck, killing him. It's a terrible overkill death seemingly done out of sheer sadism, making it particularly gruesome and disturbing.

Zara Young in Jurassic World (2015)

Zara Young (Katie McGrath) is the reluctant assistant of Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) in Jurassic World. When the Pteranodon attack the Jurassic World guests, Young is one of the people swept away by them. As she struggles to free herself, she’s tossed from Pteranodon to Pteranodon and thrown from the sky into a park lagoon, where the Pteranodon try to drown her. While trying to get away from them, the Mosasaurus emerges from the lagoon’s depths and swallows her in one gulp. She’s one of the few people in the Jurassic Park franchise to be genuinely eaten alive, making her death very unsettling.

Ken Wheatley in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Ken Wheatley (Ted Levine) is a hunter in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom who has a dark habit of collecting the teeth of dinosaurs he has taken down. When he comes across the genetically engineered Indoraptor, he’s desperate to get its teeth, shooting it with a tranquilizer dart before entering its cage. However, he didn’t realize the experimental dinosaur was extremely intelligent and capable of feigning sedation. After luring him into the cage, the Indoraptor bites his arm off and eats it in front of him before killing him. Seeing one’s own body parts consumed by a dinosaur is as gruesome as it gets in the Jurassic World series.

Rainn Delacourt in Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

In Jurassic World Dominion, Rainn Delacourt (Scott Haze) is involved in the illegal black market dinosaur trade. After a confrontation with Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), Delacourt tries to flee but accidentally falls into the dinosaur fighting pit at the market, where a Lystrosaurus and Carnotaurus pin him down by each biting one of his hands. The dinosaurs continue holding him as a Baryonyx breaks free and lunges at his face, mauling him to death. Delacourt’s death is painful, considering the teamwork of the dinosaurs who left him completely incapacitated and unable to defend himself whatsoever.

Martin Krebs in Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

Martin Krebs is a pharmacist in Jurassic World Rebirth, who believes he can cure heart disease with dinosaur DNA. He nearly gets away with his DNA samples until the mutated, nightmarish Distortus rex unexpectedly pops out of the shadows and attacks him. The attack is so gruesome that nothing is left of Krebs, save for one arm still clutching onto his precious samples. The jump scare of the Distortus rex’s entrance, along with its distorted appearance and fierce attack, makes Krebs’ death the most gruesome and shocking of Jurassic World Rebirth.
