MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

kirk_bones have you heard the one about a gang of hillbilly cannibals that lure a group of high flying executives,via the internet, into the woods to hunt wild game with bows but plan to hunt the executives and add them to the menu. Sounds good doesn't it- wrong. With better direction and a half decent budget this could have been a classic horror film instead of the hodge podge that we are offered. The direction is haphazard at best,the camera shots are unsteady and you sometimes feel that the camera is in the hands of a toddler.In the fight near the end of the movie it looked like the director had lost his camera and had to use his home camcorder The Vietnam flashbacks were uncalled for and just made a poor movie even worse. Another problem i had with this movie was that the "good"guys weren't any more endearing than the bad guys and about half way thru i lost any interest in who killed who. In conclusion i have seen some pretty good late horror movies on the horror movie channelbut alas this wasn't one of them,and can only be put the file of ,Why did i bother

captlatner I rented this movie with the hopes of seeing an interesting and original take on "The Most Dangerous Game". I quickly realized I was going to get neither. Bad acting, bad direction and extremely bad videography. I got the impression that this was made by a group of friends with a video camera. To start with, the quality of the film/video changes from shot to shot. Some scenes look like they were shot on film, then the next seems to be video, the next looks like it was taken from a news helicopter. And I don't know if this was done deliberately or not, but the "good guys" that get killed are not very well developed, to the point of being obnoxious. You don't feel very sorry for them when they are butchered, and in the case of one of them, you almost cheer. I realize they wanted these guys to be realistic, but when the main "hero" turns into a pile of jello when the s**t hits the fan, you know the movie is in trouble. I could go on and on about what is wrong with this film. Just do yourself a favor and skip this one, unless you don't mind pissing away 1 1/2 hours of your life.

223fmj A buddy and I rented this this evening believing the DVD cover's statement of "Wrong Turn meets Cabin Fever". Boy, were we let down.*SPOILERS* This is the story of five friends from New York City that book a guided bow hunting trip in upstate New York. The story takes a twist when it's revealed that the "guides" are really cannibalistic rednecks who are only interested in hunting the "most dangerous game".It doesn't take long before the hunted become the hunters, and... well, you get the idea. Wackiness ensues.I always try to find positive points in films when asked for a review, so, here goes...I think that the plot was decent- it sounded interesting and seemed pretty original. I think that, given a bigger budget and a few rewrites of the script, this could have been a decent film.Also, the acting by some of the supporting stars, although not of Oscar caliber, was pretty decent. Interestingly, it was the interaction between the two male leads that was the least convincing. I'd bet that if they had better material, they'd have done better work though.If you rent this expecting it to be on par with Citizen Kane or Gone With the Wind, not only will you feel let down, you should also reevaluate your movie-choosing ability.But, if all you are looking for is simple-minded fare that doesn't require too much thought to match it's senseless violence, then, well, this one barely satisfies.Overall, it was predictable and poorly executed. Looks like a serious attempt at film by the producers of soft-core porn. 2/10

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* "Season of the Hunted" is about a couple of New York guys fighting with a couple of country boys. Five city guys head to the woods and hook up with seven bumpkins for some bow hunting. After two long scenes of the city guys laughing like hyenas at every lame joke, they finally head to the woods for some hunting. The city boys are betrayed as the country guys want them to squeal like a pig. The rest of the movie is a bow and arrow massacre as arrows fly, blood spurts, and guys squeal.Do you like seeing arrows stick out of a person's body? If you answered yes, rent this movie immediately. If arrow gore doesn't do it for you, skip this one. "Season of the Hunted" is completely predictable. The bad hunters turn on the city guys with lightning speed and proceed to hunt them down. While there was some decent gore effects, there really isn't much excitement or tension in this flick. I knew what was going to happen at every step of the way. After the fourth arrow hit its target, I knew the movie was out of surprises.B-movie all the way, "Season of the Hunted" might be good for some cheap arrow thrills but not much else. Oh, and there is a quick sex scene at the beginning with a blonde and the main hunter. It's always smart to start off a movie with a sex scene. The blonde seems to know her stuff. And knows it very well.
