Star Hunter

i retrieved this films DVD about 2 days ago from supermarket good sale for my every after Friday hangover.

glad i did watch it today cos i didn't waste my time so much.. this film has uncountable glitches and numerous flaw's and most surprising thing is that they even didn't hide those i mean in other awful movies they actually try to hide mistakes and stuff like that.

Graphic and quality is under any level of mention, when i started to watch i thought that there's a mistake and its not DVD but CD.. after checking i realized its the movie its self so inequality... Special effects are just a joke.. a eye cutting kind of joke.

at first i toughed that 1.5 Eur's for that film is cheap but after watching it i was like god damn why dint i buy 2 beers or pack of smoke instead..

but there's 1 positive thing about my DVD... subtitles were extremely wrong...first 10 minutes it was fun then after 15 minutes it was annoying and after 20 minutes i turned subtitles off.

a real pearl for my B-category crap movies collection.

Heheheheeee! This movie is soooo bad it's good! It's so funny! One time, this guy turns to his friends and says, "Guys, I think we're in the hood." It's so funny cause the way he says it, he sounds like he's giving his son a talk about sex! The movie's about these dumb high school kids with their even dumber bus driver (she doesn't even know where their High School is!!!) who get lost in "THE HOOD!" They meet this weird guy with white hair and huge sun glasses who collects people's heads. He tells them to go hide so he can play a game, and then this one guy who looks like the Predator's inbred relative suits up and tries to kill everyone. Some great parts are when the bus driver gets shot and some blood pops up on her face, but there's no wound! Another is the first time the Star Hunter is shot, he explodes; next shot, he's just fine! Plus, every time he's shot after that they show the same scene of him grabbing his left shoulder! The best part: the little robot at the beginning!

MST3K fans won't want to miss this one.

I'm watching this horrible movie when I realize at the beginning this looks familiar. I had recently watched the film "Forbidden World" and recognized the set and robot immediately. Just to be sure I turn FW on and sure enough, identical. I'm curious if the actors from "Forbidden World" know they are in this trash. I checked production companies and they aren't the same. Really bizarre.

Let's cover the good stuff first: Decent set design. Nice visuals. A good cast that are clearly capable of doing more than they're given here. They've done a reasonably good job of hiding their low budget which is commendable. However, nothing can save this movie from its poor writing. Painful dialogue, odd pacing and and a complete inability to ratchet up the tension results results in an endless string of scenes where teenagers are being chased by a robot killer. This is an example of a production where the filmmakers decided what seems need to be in a sci-fi movie but they forgot that they needed a story.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised with this film. It focuses on a group of teenagers who are forced into a strange video game like hell after seeking shelter in an abandoned,well so they thought, warehouse. It turns out that an evil monster has been programmed by his master-Roddy McDowell to kill all the teenagers who are now trapped in an electrical magnetic playground where there is no escape!. This film plays like a video game, there are lots of dark corners and corridors and heaps of unexpected frights. The robot/monster is also quite effectively menacing. This film is actually quite a good example of the horror, sci-fi genre. And its different- which is a big plus. In summary a better than expected sci-fi horror, which you should see at least considering watching.
