Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

ofumalow This is a very straightforward (i.e. unimaginative) but competently made spin on the basic "Deliverance" premise of some privileged middle-class men going into the wilderness for a little camping/hunting adventure, but running afoul of the stereotypically inbred local hicks. The blundering stupidity the protagonists manifest in repeatedly offending the surly/cumb locals is pretty stupid in itself, but oh well: That's what happens in these kinds of movies. This film doesn't push the formula toward the overt horror of something like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Hills Have Eyes" (though the locals DO, suspiciously, have their very own meat business), but neither is it as credibly harrowing as something like "Eden Lake" or...well, "Deliverance," of course. Performances are OK, pacing is decent. It's all unmemorable but energetically done. My only quibble is a particularly cheap (and pointless) fadeout that suggests "The terror isn't over yet!" (My only question is: Why was Sam Bottoms billed as "Samuel" here? Did he go through some mid-career phase when he suddenly thought Sam was too childish? I mean, he'd already been acting for 15 years.)

Leofwine_draca HUNTER'S BLOOD middle-of-the-road example of a backwoods thriller along the lines of both John Boorman's DELIVERANCE and Walter Hill's SOUTHERN COMFORT. Obviously it can't even hope to come close to the raw, visceral power of either of those movies, but as an '80s-era B-movie I admit it does work rather well. It's packed out with familiar faces, has a decent set-up and worthwhile denouement, and is a film that's tough to dislike.The plot concerns a group of city boys who decide to go into the wilderness to hunt deer, but of course they're menaced by some rednecks before long. The good guys are led by the ever-excellent Clu Gulager, a man who screams entertainment value, and the group includes John Travolta's less well-known brother Joey. The bad guys are even more interesting: led by Robocop's Lee de Broux, the group includes the hissable Billy Drago and the outrageously sleazy Bruce Glover.Directorial duties are handled by B-movie maestro Robert C. Hughes, and given that this is a guy with the likes of MEMORIAL VALLEY MASSACRE under his belt, it's fair to say that HUNTER'S BLOOD is probably his best work. It's certainly no classic, and it is a film that has a tendency to fade from the imagination soon after viewing, but as an amiable timewaster it fulfils its duties admirably.

jfgibson73 This was a fun B-movie that follows a similar story arc to Deliverance. It's impossible not to mention that movie when talking about this one, but I enjoyed Hunters Blood on its own merits.Five guys go hunting way out deep in some property that one of them has recently purchased. They are warned by some game wardens that there are locals living in the wild hunting deer to sell to a fast food chain. The men camp out, and that night, the locals show up...The story was an effective tale of survival. I thought it was slightly more realistic than a lot of low budget action movies, but still done in an entertaining way. There are some frustrating moments when you want the smart people not to make the stupid choice that you know is coming. Still, it was better than one might expect, and I stayed with it to the end. 6 out of 10.

cool_cool_1 Hunters Blood (1987) is a very entertaining fast paced movie about 5 men from the city who travel 2 hours to Arkansas on a weekend so they can go hunting in the forest, drink beer and have fun!!! Things soon take a turn for the worse tho when they find out that there's a horrible redneck family who live in the area where they set up camp. These inbred rednecks are cannibalistic and will stop at nothing to torture and kill our city boys!! Hunters Blood is a great movie with plenty of action, some really gory images along the way and the cast do a fantastic job, Mason is my favourite, he's played by Clu Gulager but i'm being biased because he was great in "Return of the living dead".I highly recommend this rare horror movie, if you enjoyed "Deliverance" and "Rituals" then you should love this one, this movie gets a well deserved 8/10 from me.
