 Movie: Death Hunter: Werewolves Vs. Vampires Year: 2010 Studio: MTI Home Video Director: Dustin Rikert Language: English Length: 92 Minutes Sub-Genre: Werewolves, Vampires |
Plot: When a stranded motorist is tagged by a werewolf in the Arizona desert — mere moments after his wife was attacked by vampires — a werewolf-vampire hunter comes to his rescue and trains him how to fight the creatures of the night.
Review: This is going to be completely a one-sided review because Death Hunter taps into the bottom of the barrel. This is an example of how not to make a horror movie.
Lets get the story out of the way before I go into a vicious diatribe. A couple celebrating there one-year anniversary head out into the desert for a camping vacation. They run out of gas before they reach their destination and come across a strip joint that is the home of a vampire clan. The wife (Shari Wiedmann) gets kidnapped and the husband (Sam McConkey) escapes, but soon gets bit by a werewolf. Low and behold, a mysterious hunter has invented a concoction to stop the man-to-werewolf transformation and tells the husband he is the chosen one. We then get shuffled off to 30 minutes of training sessions, and then the fight to save his wife ensues, hence, a sort-of werewolf hybrid verse weak vampires.
The bads; everything! Death Hunter has extremely poor acting, atrocious CGI, horrible fake sets, outrageously bad music and sound effects, total amateurish video effects, and if it could get more cruddy it does; we get a horror movie that isn’t frightening in the least. This movie is meant to be serious and scary, but it achieves just the opposite.
There is one semi-good computer aided effect when the sensei of sorts, stops the werewolf transformation. It looked pretty good with greenish wobbling effects running through the body. I am lenient of sorts when it comes to independent horror movies, and can usually pick out several positive points in the low budget side of horror, but Death Hunter: Werewolves Vs. Vampires is totally lame and I am disappointed with every aspect of this film. Avoid like the plague!
