Hunter

I'm not usually a horror fan, but if you put a splash of romance, a crap ton of action and an unbelievably poignant score together- I'm totally sold. That was some of the best original composing I think I've ever thoughtfully noticed in a film- definitely the highlight for me. Highly recommended and I'll definitely watch again! Plus, Nick Searcy's accent is everything.

I didn't care for the editing. It could have flowed better. But the storyline was good. Jason Kellerman, who I had never seen before, is a great actor. The other cast members were also well trained. Kellerman also wrote the script. He's got the depth and breadth of skills to hopefully become noticed and attain roles in high budget flicks.

I do not understand how this movie has a rating above 3. I watch tons of horror, of all budgets and studios. Everything is mediocre to poor. Music is blah and sounds like canned suspense music. Dialog is choppy and Soap-opera like. Constant flashbacks made me look down as it was giving me a headache. Very obvious why I have not seen these actors in anything else. Skip unless you are so painfully bored and want background noise while you do something else

In the past years, there's been a rise of indie horror flicks impacting the movie business with their visceral violence, gritty imagery and unapologetic social commentary. Hunter, directed by David Tarleton and written by the movie protagonist Jason Kellerman is no exception. This indie gem follow the life of title character Hunter, a former cage fighter who's homeless in the cold streets of Chicago after the murder of his family by the hands of some supernatural group of killers. Since the start, we're up for a horrific thrill ride. The movie kicks off with Hunter participating in cage fights. The action is kinetic yet the audience can tell any hard hitting blow in the short fights. An example of the great craftsmanship by the filmmaker right at the start of the movie. Same can be seen in Hunter's flashback, everything is fast paced yet crystal clear and the images evokes a wide range of emotions and sympathy for the title character. I should've wanted a bit more of character development by the supporting characters, specially Danni, the love interest who shows kindness to the hopeless lead and Volakas, played by Nick Searcy (The Fugitive, The Shape of Water). No matter its minor flaws. This is a very fun thriller with love story elements that keeps the audience compelled by the mystery behind the main character's emotional issues and the truth behind his family's murder.

Be sure to support this award winning independent production and watch it on Amazon.

Not terrible, but kind of a mash-up of vampire and action. Found it really distracting that Jason Kellerman (whom I quite liked) is very Keanu-esque in voice and delivery.
