Hunt Her, Kill Her

Hunter Her Kill Her (2022) is a movie that I caught in theatres tonight. The storyline follows a new evening cleaner at a factory. Her first night quickly becomes eventful when 4-5 men with masks show up and immediately try to kill her. She will do her best to survive while trying to determine why they're trying to kill her.

This movie is codirected by Greg Swanson and Ryan Thiessen, who also worked together on Five Across the Eyes, and stars Natalie Terrazzino (The Last Movie Star), JC Oakley III (The Hate You Give) and Georgia Kate Haege (Hectic Knife).

This movie has a made for television feel in terms of cinematography, writing, acting and dialogue. This movie will give you a glimpse into the worst babysitter ever, worst bandage job ever and the worst killers ever. There's so many sloppy sequences in this that leave you scratching your head. And when did the main character become MacGyver? I will say the sound effects the killer make while they're walking around are hilarious. The jump scares are pretty average outside of one or two. I will say the end is worth watching. The final fight is insane and there's a good hammer 🔨 scene.

Overall, this movie is bad but horror enthusiasts should watch it once. I would score this a 3/10.

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.

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.

This was a bad movie. The direction, the acting, the camera work, the script, everything except the extremely thin premise was a bomb from the get go. Ranks as the worst movie I've seen so far this year and undoubtably will rank in my top 10 worst by the end of the year. I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. Where was the tension? Why are these men so organized, almost like they played Call Of Duty a billion times before doing this? But, on the other hand, they are so dumb that they cannot come up with a plan to catch this chick other than the extremely basic one that we get set up with in the first place? Why is this chick so dumb herself? She couldn't make a life/time saving desicion if it was the last thing she does. Why weren't any of the machines in the shop used for killing anyone, when it was teased for so long towards the end? Why did they write this as a mystery if they were going to make it so blatently obvious who the villians are and why they are doing this? Why, why, why? I have about 100 other whys for this film, but I'm not going to bother asking them because I already know the answer. The director and producer are numbskulls who thought this would be a good idea but had no clue on how to execute it properly, let alone write a decent script or direct their actors appropriately. I feel bad for the actors because the script does them no favors. The bad guys sound like generic npc villians from a video game and all the other dialouge ranges from unbelievable to downright laughable. Nobody talks like this in person, nor would they act the way they do. Also, how do you not know when you're stepping on something, such as someones hand hanging from a ledge when you are literally looking for a person? Not even a glance to see what it was. Just dumb and reinforced my idea of this basically being video game cutscenes for a video game they didn't have the money to make. I could not recommend you stay away from this dumpster fire more. I got ripped off, don't let it happen to you. The 10's on this site were no doubt written by someone involved in the making of this film. Has to be, because the film could be a fun parody if it wasn't for the boring, derivitave and ultra serious tone it has throughout.

0 idiotic desicions out of 5.

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!
