I got the movie quickly. It was listed as being "Like New" but the DVD case had a large hole in it and the disc was very scratched. I would probably not order from this supplier again. Movie was average.

This movie sucks big time. In other words it bunk!!!! If I can use that word these days. To me the alien seems to like stalking behind these one set of trees because each time I saw it that is where it was coming from. And the ending just didn't make sense to me at all and I sure the other Aliens vs movies maybe just as bad.

AVH( Alien Vs Hunter)
Theasylum.cc

Directed by: SCOTT HARPER Written by: DAVID MICHAEL LATT
Starring: WILLIAM KATT, DEDEE PFEIFFER, RANDY MULKEY
This proves Theasylum knows their product well.
Really well done with a budget to make you curious, Special props to Randy Mulkey.
Yes,Its one of those similar to a fault features that LATT does so well,BUT,This could be a TV pilot for AVP ...If LARRY BUCHANAN was still plying his craft.
The make-up/costumes of titled characters...The Alien is an awesome image and moved well, The Hunter had a very different look than one would assume...Kind of like TETSUO.
The cast-William Katt was fun,But not any where near a heroic performance. DeDee Pfeiffer,This was first time Ive seen her, Quite a firecracker throughout .Randy Mulkey was just exactly perfect for his part, Latt use him more !
So,The box cover WONT trick you into watching, Back cover might...LOL !

If I could give this "movie" a negative 3 stars, I would. Please don't waste your time with this obvious and terribly bad knock off of the alien vs predator movies. I stopped after 15 minutes and Im still pissed I wasted that much time of my life on this crap.

You were expecting maybe "Star Wars"?

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2012

First off, let's acknowledge how nice it is to see William Katt in a movie again. He's a long damn way from "House" (the '80s horror-comedy, not the medical "Sherlock Holmes" redux), longer still from "The Greatest American Hero" and an eon from the surfing classic "Big Wednesday." And, he's got a middle school music teacher's "Flanders" mustache. But he's still William Katt, and seeing him here is like seeing your cool, stoner cousin at the 10-year family reunion and being pleasantly relieved to discover he's still cool and still a stoner.

Let's acknowledge, secondly, that this is not AVP, and if you were fooled by the photo on the box and the spacey font, you probably need to pay more attention to a lot of things in your life more important than DVD box art.

That said, acknowledge again that AVP itself isn't exactly "2001: A Space Odyssey." Aping a comic-book action movie and succeeding as a lesser quality one is kind of like being one of those also-ran comic books that launched in the wake of "Action Comics #1" -- you're not "Superman," by any means, but you satisfy when "Superman" is sold out.

AVH satisfies like that. It probably cost less than a million to make, the special effects are passable, but work (though they're few and far between), and the "hunter" costume is actually better than you might expect.

Looking for logic? Was there any logic to "AVP: Requiem"? I couldn't figure that one out with flash cards. Here, nobody behaves in the way a normal human being would when faced with a situation like this. But if they did, there would be no movie. Or, at least, there would be a really short movie made up of nothing but people running as fast as they can, yelling, "Aaaaah! Giant alien spiders!" The end.

Me, I'd rather watch them wander endlessly in the woods and talk incessantly about their situation; it being that a giant alien spider is for some reason running around on earth, as is its alien "hunter" that for reasons unclear also chooses to kill humans.

I do love that whenever we're treated to the scene as through an alien's eyes, the director just puts a piece of beveled glass in front of the camera, as if any creature anywhere could survive with that kind of eyesight.

It's disconcerting to see here that decades of smoking have taken their toll on '80s cutie-pie Dedee Pfeiffer, who had always been more approachably attractive than her goddess-like sister Michelle. Nowadays, the Marlboro man has softer skin than this chick. Seriously, Linda Hamilton strikes her matches off Dedee Pfeiffer's cheeks.

And hey! There's a surprise ending! Does it count as a spoiler to say that it's stupid? Not really, since everything else in this film is stupid, too. Not giving anything away there.

But you know, if "American Gladiators" taught us anything, it's that things can be stupid, but also fun. I'm glad to have picked AVH up for $2.99 at K-Mart on the same DVD as two other films produced by The Asylum -- the surprisingly effective "I Am Legend" mockbuster "I Am Omega" (which is worth the entire $2.99 itself), and the annoyingly tedious "Cloverfield" mockbuster "Monster" (which you should just leave be, unless someone is willing to pay you $2.99 to watch it).

Perfekter "Rache Film" :-)

Reviewed in Germany on June 8, 2010

KLASSE FILM!! Nein wenn ich hier den Zweck von diesem "Film" (Rache Geschenk für Pig Hunt) bewerten würde gäbe es 5 Sterne.

Nein aber zurück zu diesem Klassiker schlechter Filme. Allein gucken? Bloß nicht und kaum möglich. Aber wenn man ein paar Leute zusammen UND genug Spaß im Kopf hat (z.B. Alkohol), kann man sich den "Film" wirklich bis zum Ende angucken und entdeckt wirklich klasse Sachen:

Erstmal eine sau schlechte Bild Qualität und eine katastrophale Synchronisation die öfter asynchron als synchron ist. Ich denke mal die Sprecher waren für die Synchronisation von Speck Filmen zu schlecht und waren frustriert trotzdem Arbeit gefunden zu haben bei diesem Film. Anders nicht zu erklären :-)

Lustige Szene als während eines "Dialogs" im Hintergrund die Baum Deko hinterm Fenster einfach abfällt und selbst die "Schauspielerin" etwas schmunzeln muss.

Man meint das der Film an einem Tag gedreht wurde. Schlecht nur wenn man Szenen hat die im dunkeln spielen sollen. Was tun? Richtig, einfach die Bildqualität noch verschlechtern, die Farbe weg lassen, oder das vordere Bild abdunkeln während hinten fröhlich die Sonne scheint. Das ganze ist so mies umgesetzt das man sich fragt warum die menschlichen Typen sich in einem Tunnelsystem mit gefühlten 0,02km/h fortbewegen und z.B. eine Taschenlampe die genau 3cm vor ihnen auf dem Boden liegt nicht sehen könne. Die Antwort ist ganz einfach: Diese Szene spielt bzw. soll im dunkeln spielen. Leider merkt das der Zuschauer nicht weil die Szene halt hell ist. Wenn man das heraus gefunden hat ist es lustig zu raten oder die folgenden Szenen nun im hellen oder im dunkeln spielen.

So noch 2 Sachen bevor ich mein Fazit abgebe:

Der "Hunter" ist absolut cool und viel besser als der Predator. Oder sieht der Predator etwa aus wie eine Mischung aus Leuchtturm und Ampel und hebt die Waffe mit Zeitlupen Geschwindigkeit?

DAS ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT!!!!! - folgender Dialog:

Sie: Reiß dich endlich mal zusammen! Er: Ich hasse Reis.

Bei soviel Dünnpfiff in den Dialogen, der Story, den Effekten, der schauspielerischen Leistung etc. fragt man sich wie die "Darsteller" im Making of ernsthaft über den Film und ihren Rollen sprechen können.
Liebe Macher von diesem Werk: Nimmt weniger oder mehr Drogen. Aber diese Mischung war schlecht.

Fazit: Sich "das" als normalen Film reinzuziehen geht NICHT! Absoluter Mega Schrott. Für einem geliebten Freund/Feind eine auszuwischen kann ich den Film nur empfehlen :-)

Und ernsthaft: Es machte schon Fun mit ein paar Leuten und Alkohol den Film zu gucken und die unzähligen Fehler bzw. Film Bugs (Typ wirft defekte Pump weg, benutzt ein MG, rennt gefühlte 20km mit dem MG, Schnitt! und er hat wieder die defekte Pump) zu finden. Suchen kann man schlecht sagen^^

Geklaut ist noch zu teuer :-)

Das ist Schrott der übelsten Klasse. Sehr, sehr viele Filme habe ich in meinem Leben schon gesehen. Mitlerweile dürften es mehr als 51 Jahre sein. Doch so einen (ein anderes Wort gibt es nicht dafür)Mist, habe ich noch nie gesehen. Nichts passt! Die Stimmenzuordnung zu den Schauspielern = 0, die Handlung = 0, die Dialoge = 0, die schauspielerische Leistung jedes Einzelnen = 0 usw.und auch "dieses" = 0.
