Alien vs. Hunter (2007)
It doesn’t take long for this baby to get under way. In the first 10 minutes we’re treated to an Alien & a giant spider. Oh, wait…the giant
spider is the Alien. Hmm…anyway, enter the Hunter,
looking slightly like he may have shown up for a Star Wars audition but
was turned down (looks a little like the Tin Man with a NVA wicker dome
hat, whatever that’s called and a gas mask) he is on the…umm, hunt, for
the alien, but he’s not above kicking human ass.
So
superstar reporter Lee (William Katt) and the local Sheriff go to
investigate this thing that crashes into the hills outside their small
town. When they get to their destination they find an alien
craft has careened into the earth just behind an RV where a mother
& daughter live. There’s no answer when the sheriff knocks on the
door and bang! The alien appears and rips
the bastard to shreds…off screen. Out of this unsavory moment arrives
the daughter. She and Lee get the fuck outta there and hook up with
some other people and their off to find the girls mom, trying to avoid alien attacks along the way. They come to fearless bear hunter Valentine’s joint and enlist his help.
This movie is good if you’re looking for a chuckle or two, but really, is it necessary to borrow the Alien vs.
Predator idea? It also “stars” Dedee Pfeiffer. I’m just saying. And,
maybe it’s just me, but William Katt looks like the offspring of a
Sammy Hagar/David Spade affair. Although the close-up of the decent
enough looking alien is ok, if I were to rate this on my Cheese-O-Meter, I’d give it a Limburger rating, which would be equal to…
