Blood Hunt

Blood Hunt is a low budget movie and it just shows. Not the acting though, that was actually okay, it could have been much worse. But the story, even if it's just the classic you-do-me-and-my-girl-wrong-and-now-i-take-revenge, was just poorly executed. It's all not believable at all how easily they can escape a couple of times, the killing and so on. On top of that the wounds they have are just a joke, it all looked so fake and you can't blame a low budget on that because if you had a decent make-up artist it would have looked all different. And that's not an expensive cost, to find a good make-up artist. I saw much better revenge movies than Blood Hunt so don't waste your time with this one.

SPOILER: What could be better than a weekend in the country with the love of your life? How about a weekend in the country with a little sadism, rape and murder thrown in? "Blood Hunt" starts off very slowly but soon deteriorates into a senseless gorefest when our hero and his lady run into a group of ne'er-do-wells who take them captive after a car chase. She is raped and he is nearly murdered. The bad guys are not simply bad but dumb, because they keep letting them escape.

The final escape does not go well because half-way to the nearest hospital and police station - probably a few hundred miles in this part of Australia - she realises how badly she is wounded. He doesn't, because if any normal man had been subjected to what he has been through, he would be half-dead by now, but somehow he manages to...so what's a guy to do after his good lady dies in his arms? You guessed, the only thing possible: revenge.

The soundtrack to this film is reasonable, but when you've said that, you've said it all. In recent years, the Australians have produced not a few films in this vein. Sadly, most of them suck. Certainly this one does.

First movie by Sam Curtain, Blood Hunt tells the story of Dean and Claire, a couple traveling through Australia, and the nightmarish wrong turn they see themselves involved in.

Having watched the other two films by the director, this is the less gore of the three, especially 'Beaten to Death', but it does a decent job for what it is: your typical horror movie where you definitely know what will happen and so on. It is well paced, well performed, and has good FX for its budget. The bad guys definitely know how to increase tension given the scary situation the protagonists are involved. So, if you're looking for horror entertainment, this might be for you.

Don't get the negative reviews? It is what it is, and for what it is... 'a low budget bloodbath revenge movie' it hits the mark. Well enough acted and decently paced. OK it might not be 'Citizen Kane' or 'The Whisperers', but if you're in the mood for a quick and to the point piece of violent retribution, then this movie fits the bill splendidly. 8/10 for me.

I cant believe i watched it! Although its a short film i felt like im watching it for 3hrs! So boring. Dont bother to watch.
