Hunt Her, Kill Her

I found this movie on Tubi. Compared to many of the movies that they have, this one is good. The plot is simple, but there are some thrilling moments. The movie does a good job with the gore. The main actress was OK

Some scenes, though, require suspension of belief. The main character gets injured several times, yet just a few minutes later, the movie basically ignores those injuries as if it never happened, making her appear 100% healthy. We also get eye-rolling scenes where a small woman handles some 200 pound grown men

But the main issue with the film, is repetitiveness. The hunting / chasing scenes make up the bulk of the film, as you'd expect. But after a while, it really felt like we going over the same ground repeatedly.

Focused on Karen that starts a new job as a night shift cleaner for a warehouse until she gets a package delivered once its open she's chased and hunted the rest of the movie. I was surprised only one person besides me was seeing the movie of which was on and off his phone that was a little obnoxious I was engaged throughout maybe he still enjoyed it. Hunt Her, Kill Her is a satisfying ghoulish pure horror gem that is gory, suspenseful, and has a great soundtrack! I absolutely love the masks and psycho voices; this movie caught me off guard with how enjoyable it is would highly recommend to horror fans.

I guess me enjoying this movie a lot was such a bad thing geez!

Better than I expected! I really liked this Cat-and-mouse movie with some great visuals and sound.

The premise is simple with a lone night shift worker starting her first night at a warehouse. She soon finds herself in a fight for survival when she becomes hunted by masked intruders

The lead is very believable and the location is a real plus. What keeps it creepy is the simplicity and the realism.

Watch it and take it for what it is, it isn't You're Next or The Strangers, more like a simpler version of Kristy.

I would definitely watch a sequel with the lead in it.

I give this one a 7 out of 10.

Hunt Her, Kill Her (AKA Night Shift)

Very low-budget 'cat(s) 'n' mouse' survival thriller. Karen (Natalie Terrazzino), a recently separated/divorced mother of one, takes a job as the sole night shift janitor at a large factory. On her first night she's confronted by four knife-wielding, masked intruders, whose sole aim is to kill her. Cue one hour and 20 minutes of the most ridiculously unbelievable 'female John McClane' running, hiding, and fighting.

By the time this was made movies were well into the 'cast a non-conventionally attractive female lead' era - we weren't going to get a Milla Jovovich-type. Thing is, Jovovich (just as an example), as well as being attractive, sells the action. She looks credible running and fighting. I get that 'Karen' isn't a trained warrior, she's just an average single-mom trying to make ends meet, and I get that that could be an interesting story to tell - but if that's what you're going for you have to adjust her methods and onscreen abilities accordingly; otherwise it just becomes laughable. We have a short, dumpy, completely non-athletic woman regularly outsprinting guys who look a foot taller with a stride to match. In one shot we'll see them rapidly closing on her (because the actress clearly cannot run) - then they'll all turn a corner and from the new angle we see they're way behind her again! 😄 The only times they catch-up is when there's a convenient small space for her to slip through at the last moment! I get suspension of disbelief - but at least cast an actress who looks like she jogs once in a while! As for the fighting... Again, 6'2" dudes with *very* nasty looking knives, vs mom-with-a-belly and cleaning products! We all know that most fights in movies are completely unrealistic;. If Statham/Stallone/Van Damme were really trapped in a room with a bunch of guys who were all fellow special forces badasses they'd be dead meat - but at least they manage to make it look believable. There's one fight in this movie involving a toilet plunger that looks like something from an Austin Powers movie! Add in several injuries involving heavy blood loss and bone breakage that 30 seconds later don't seem to have impeded her ability to run/fight at all, a 'twist' re the perpetrators that's obvious from about 15 minutes in (and that you've probably guessed already), poor acting all round, and ludicrous dialogue ('Don't let her escape!' - has *anyone* chasing anyone *ever* actually shouted that? 😄), and you get a very poor movie. I'll give it credit for some good effects on the injury detail, a cool synth score, and a nice title. 4/10.

Anger at the director and writer for unleashing this utter tripe upon the world of cinema.

And anger at the obvious shills who are giving it completely disingenuous rave reviews and high scores. There is NO WAY anyone with a functioning brain could watch this film and feel anything but contempt for the product.

The script is laughable. Honestly, it felt like something highschool students were forced to craft against their will. Then it had to be delivered by...hobbyists...? I guess we must call them actors, because they sort of tried...but they obviously have no training, experience, nor natural talent. The few lines delivered are so stilted and unnatural that they continually kill any positive momentum the film manages to build for itself.

Then there's the plot holes.

Oh. My. F. G!

Other reviews have listed many already, but there's just sooooo many more. I'm a 6'4", 225lbs man with wrestling and BJJ training and I would have been calling the police the second I saw a single masked a-hole punking around my "empty" nightshift building. But a lone, out of shape woman doesn't have that thought until after she's run around for 5-10 mins and already lost her cell?

The creepy mask guys who stand on balconies and... never look down. The creepy mask guys who stand on pallets and...never look down. The creepy mask guys who stand on the floor and...never look down. Seeing the pattern yet?

Protagonist receives numerous gaping wounds, a couple with incredible blood loss, yet somehow she seems to fully heal within moments of each one after very rudimentary self administered first aid. And instead of weakening with blood loss, she seems to get stronger and more than capable to take out several big, strong, laborer dudes. Really? Make it make sense. John McClean got less effed up climbing the tower than Karen did in this movie. Lol

And then there's the "plot twist" that you can tell the director thought was so witty... That the viewers predict at the 15 min mark of the movie.

If you are reading these reviews while watching this movie, wondering if it's worth going all the way - BAIL OUT NOW. This movie does not redeem itself. It is absolutely the trash your brain is telling you it is.

Pull the chute, save your evening!
