Zombie Hunter

This movie was like watching a bad movie spawned from the "Borderlands" games mixed with elements blatantly stolen from the "Resident Evil" universe.

The storyline was fairly straight forward, and anyone who have seen just a single zombie movie should be familiar with the essentials of the storyline here as well. A lone stranger ends up with a small group of survivors in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.

The dialog in the movie was just horrible. It was so corny and bad, that there were times when you sit there curling your toes in disbelief.

Which leads us to the characters. Wow, are you kidding me? What a bunch of generic, stereotypical and totally irrelevant characters can you manage to put into one movie? Now, I am not saying that the people acting and portraying the characters were doing bad jobs, but the characters themselves were parodies on themselves and everything in the zombie genre. It was just an atrocity to witness.

The zombies, well they were your standard low budget movie zombies; shredded clothing and usually mangled faces. Yet somehow the necks, ears and hands were also spotless and never showed a sign of decay or damage. It is the classic low budget mistake to make. And sure enough, here it was. And what was going on with the hybrid mix of Nemesis and the licker creatures from "Resident Evil". I was ready to get up and find something else to watch when I saw these. It was just laughable.

For some reason, then the blood in this movie was purple, and it always had to spray directly on the camera. It was annoying and tiring to look at, and it got old really fast. Purple blood, sure, why not...

Without the risk of sounding sarcastic, wait, that is exactly what I am trying to do here, then the not-so-subtle advertising for their other movies put on display in the movie was really just fantastic. Watch the movie, and you will know it immediately when you get to that scene. Way to go Arrowstorm Entertainment...

If you are credited as 'Sexy Zombie' in a movie, then you know everything is not right here.

Yet, there is something to this movie that makes you stick around to the end, even though it is campy, cheesy and have low budget written all over it. However, I can honestly say that this movie is the type of movie that you watch once and never again. As much as I love everything zombie, then "Zombie Hunter" just didn't have that much to offer.

This movie is incredibly bad. Danny Trejo - which is probably the reason for most people to watch this flick - is only seen in three scenes and is just doing his usual job. Being the cool, archaic guy who is looking into the camera with a grim face. And this is the best part of the movie. All the other actors are just crap. Their roles are clichés as you would expect from a movie like this, but their acting is so bad, that you cannot even take those clichés seriously. The dialogs have been written by some computer software which tries to bring the most common lines of all scripts into some order. The main character plays like he had been undergoing a lobotomy. And still he needs crappy monologues with a cheesy voice to bring his point across. Then there is the very bad CGI of those special monsters, which just look like they had been animated in the 1990s. Even the Pixar table lamp looks more realistic than they do. It seems like the director/writer/producer has seen Planet Terror and thought "I can do this too!". Unfortunately they can't. And they should have never tried. I want those 90 minutes of my life back!

Zombie Hunter fullfills its obligations of a campy, low budget horror movie. There is a lot of gore,blood,a cheesy storyline where drugs turn people into zombies ( sometimes giant zombies),hot chicks,a musclecar and Danny Trejo. Danny Trejo unfortunately is not the lead,instead they got a guy who looks like Ripper Owens from Judas Priest to play a zombie hunting bad ass. Even still,he did okay. The film delivers a lot on zombies and gore. The blood flows freely and frequently splatters into the camera. Low budget zombie flicks are a dime a dozen nowadays,few are classic and more of them suck. Zombie Hunter is no classic,but should please most fans of the genre as passable entertainment.

"Most of them are brainless globs of walking matter with one objective, eat, but every once in a while you'll get one thats a little tricky." After the apocalypse there are two kinds of beings left...Zombies and humans. One man known as the hunter (Copping) who has nothing to lose drives around killing any flesh eater he can find. When he finds a small group of survivors he decides to help them out. When a group attacks them the hunter must now put his skills to the test. There isn't much I can say about this movie that will make you want to watch it. Danny Trejo is in it but only for about 10 minutes. The way I think the movie got made is this; Hey everyone likes zombies, should we make a movie about them. We only have $50 though who will be in it for that? I know Danny Trejo, he does anything and has a huge cult following...we can't lose. Much like Bruce Campbell in the 90's people will watch a movie based on if he is in it or not, no matter what the movie is. That's what the makers are hoping for. To prove my point...there is a scene where the group talks about how many zombies the hunter has killed that is interrupted by a woman stripping...using a pole that is conveniently located in the warehouse they are in, but since Danny Trejo is on the box people will watch. Overall, exactly what you would expect. I give it a D+

"Nothing puts a smile on my face like a midday massacre. Tequila has also been known to put a smile on my face", so tells us Hunter in his opening narration. America has suffered another of those zombie apocalypses and Hunter says that he hasn't seen another human for 6 months and feels that he could be the sole survivor, that is until he is stopped in his Mad Max type car by a small group of survivors. Danny Trejo gets top billing as a priest called Father Jesus, he is great but sadly only in the movie for the first half. And speaking of first half this part of the movie was the best and was reasonably promising, unfortunately the more interesting characters get killed off first and I found the second half to be disappointing. There is plenty of zombie (or "Eaters" as they are called here, a name that I quite liked) violence but is let down by some very poor CGI blood sprays. The acting is decent and I liked the hot chick called Fast Lane Debbie, she treats us to a pole dance though there is no nudity in this movie. In addition to Eaters a giant alien/demon type creature appears out of nowhere, I have no idea what that was about and found it stupid. A poster for the movie "Ozombie" is seen several times but that film makes ZH look like it was made by George Romero in comparison! If you are hopelessly addicted to zombie flicks, including bad ones, then ZH is worth a look. I enjoyed some aspects of the movie but won't be watching it again.
