AVH: Alien vs. Hunter
A journalist named Lee Custler (William Katt) is out jogging when a flying object passes behind him and crashes. Sheriff Joel Armstrong (Collin Brock) picks him up and they go to check it out. They find an abandoned caravan close to where the object crashed. As they discover the object and realize it is a spaceship, an Alien emerges. The Alien (resembling a giant spider with a lizard-like head and torso) then chases them, after which Lee flees to the car. However Armstrong makes a stand, trips, falls and is killed by the Alien that then leaves. A terrified Tammy finds Lee and they call the local authorities but their car is destroyed by the Alien.

I'll tell you why so serious
A Masterpiece!
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
OK, technically there should be some high school film projects that are worse, but excluding those, this is the worst movie I've ever seen. It's probably because plot holes and continuity issues drive me crazy. If you can laugh at that kind of stuff, then you'll love this movie. The best part will be when everyone is in a forest, runs off in completely different directions, wanders aimlessly while being chased by monsters, and then all magically end up finding each other at the same time on the other end of the forest. Or when one guy decides he'll sacrifice himself to slow the monster down and buy the others some time, even though his sacrifice is completely unnecessary and doesn't slow the monster down at all.And that's not even getting started on the miserable acting, writing, and CGI. I guess the sets aren't bad and the music is OK, but that's about all the positives you'll find. This is the movie that I compare every other bad movie against.
*Contains Spoilers*For the most Alien vs. Hunter is painful to watch. The acting is especially bad even for an Asylum film and the first hour or so is nothing short of boring. A few people are suspected dead and the remaining residents of a town hold a meeting to decide what to do, sadly this is stretched over at least half an hour.The plot is a pretty simple one that is somehow made complicated, or perhaps not complicated but broken in a way that no other plot could ever be. The film assumed the viewer has seen or knows what Alien vs Predator is about; there isn't really any explanation as to what is going on or why and it wasn't until a brief explanation late on in the film telling us the 'Hunter' won't stop until the hunt is complete do we 'learn' that the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz is hunting the Spider-Alien (who actually more resembled a Predator).The thing I love about SyFy films is that it's so easy to guess who is going to live and who is going to die, and AVH is no different. With characters called Figgus, Freckles, Valentine and Two Fingers you can't expect much, and the acting didn't disappoint. It was truly awful. It really is that bad. Illogical decisions and stupidity seems to be especially prominent in AVH but it wouldn't have made much of a film if they had escaped town as soon as possible.I try not to knock Asylum films for their poor CG either but it has to be touched on here as they are of such a low quality they would have been shocking for 1980.Fear not though as AVH has an ace or two up it's sleeve. The last 20 minutes or so are fantastic and by far the most fun an Asylum film has delivered. It's comedy gold with non-stop awful CG and completely unsynchronized and over exaggerated acting in what is the grand finale. It has to be seen to be appreciated but I haven't laughed so much watching a film for a long while. It makes little sense but that doesn't matter, it entertains.The very end deserves a mention as well. The Tin Man hunter returns to his ship, takes his mask off and like the rest of us after a hard days work, he has a smoke and a can of beer. Top stuff.In summary there is no reason what so ever to watch the first hour or so but the last 20 minutes shouldn't be missed by anybody. I want to give AVH a high score based on these alone but the truth is that even for an Asylum Film it is pretty bad and it can't hide how awful the rest of it really is.
what the heck is this? how dare them copy such a great franchise! where is the infringement law here? folks what the heck? don't let them fool us here! we sci-fi fiends are better than this. i just watched "avp-requiem". wow great stuff! this stuff, well forget about it! YUK! let's hope we see another alien versus predator film. this time a different setting. maybe this time on earth in the future where we have a slightly better chance of fighting back! i am a science fiction guru and i can't wait to see what they come up with next for these two monster greats! anyways avoid this at all costs it may have you running towards the bathroom!
