Touches You

Thanks for the memories!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film starts with a newscast about Natas, or sin, which is the new 'it' drug. The government is taking steps. The viewer watches the newscast being looked at by Natas users.A year later, Hunter is out in the desert, killing the occasional zombie. His Camaro breaks down from the blood and guts blocking his air intake. Sigh. He stops for gas, and ends up killing 8 zombies. He has not seen another non-zombie ('survivor') for six months. Then someone shoots him while he's driving. He and the car look pretty bad, but the drag him back to camp.The small group gets to know one another. Hunter and x go out to assess the damage on his Camaro; they encounter zombies. Soon the compound is attacked by zombies, including some sort of full-on mutant that looks like it was never a human. This was a disaster. Jesus dies taking out the lead monster.Down the road, they run out of gas. They all get sick from looking into a non-operational freezer. Someone steals their truck, which sets up an ambush by a crazy with a chainsaw. What was the setup for this?Hunter, Alison, Ricky, and Jerry make it to the airfield, which is supposed to help them out, somehow. Just where can they fly to that will be safe?Do any of them get out alive? -------Scores-------Cinematography: 2/10 Endless, stupid, in-your-face filters. Pink was my least favourite filter, but others were bad as well. Otherwise, the picture was rather low in quality, say mid-range VHS.Sound: 6/10 Not too bad, but with wretched incidental music.Acting: 2/10 Much to my disappointment, Danny Trejo's role was rather small, but that's where the +2 comes from. The main character is played by Martin Copping, who is more than a little boring, irrelevant, out of tune with the other actors. Clare Niederpruem was not a plus. Jade Reiger was decorative, but not a great actress. Jarrod Phillips gave one of the worst performances I've seen. Terry Guthrie barely seemed present.Screenplay: 1/10 Not much of a story, but it does have a beginning, middle, and an end. The dialog is horrible, as is the internal logic of the story. They stop because they are out of gas. Someone steals the truck (how?). Hunter recovers the truck; now it has gas. Right. Alison and Ricky are being chased by a fast guy with a chainsaw. Alison: we've got to get going! Ricky: I'm tired.SFX: 2/10 Second/third rate. Bad zombie makeup, splatter effects, vomiting effects. Blood shows up as pink, purple, orange, dark, and occasionally red.

Never before has technology made filmmaking so easy to use just for a bunch of talentless nincompoops. This film has no plot, thus no story. It's highly derivative in a completely non creative or inventive way. I wish these 'filmmakers' would pick up a copy of 'The Poetics' or at least 'Save The Cat' so they could at least make an attempt at good story structure. There is a reason why movies affect us. It takes planning and the understanding of dramatic structure. You wouldn't build a table or a chair and say "Well I like chairs whose legs are different lengths, this way you can't sit on it. It's art." Same goes for motion pictures. Just as you need an understanding of basic carpentry and the comprehension of executing a well designed plan, you need to DO THE SAME THING WHEN MAKING A MOVIE!I didn't care about any of these characters. The universe in which they live is constantly changing. It's like the director was making soup by throwing into a chicken broth, an apple, an onion, toothpaste, anti-freeze, and an old smelly sneaker. Come on guys! Think about what you're doing. You just can't take Mad Max, Terminator, Snatch, Star Wars, (Danny Trajo's lines are written as if he were some kind of Ninja Yoda) and Dawn of the Dead, jumble it all up and think you've got something remotely entertaining. This is a complete mess! It reeks of sneaker- toothpaste soup for crying out loud!Why is the blood pink? The creatures look like really bad claymation. We have no idea what is anyone's goal. Most of all there is no theme. All I have to say is YUCK!

I went into seeing this with an open mind since now-a-days, with all the advances in makeup and CGI, doing a zombie movie to compete with the others is somewhat of a challenge for any filmmaker. I was pleasantly surprised! Don't go into seeing this film thinking it is a drama with deep acting and story. This is just a fun movie to watch. Lots of action. Lots of blood. Lots of R- Rated stuff. This isn't a movie for the kiddies. It still has some big name actors, so you can relate to them when you are watching. If you are just in the mood for a good zombie/action/horror movie, give this one a watch. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Zombie Hunter is the latest (and possibly greatest) entry into the zombie movie genre. The film hasn't been released yet but has been featured at the Fantasia Film Festival and Fantasy Film Fest.The storyline is as follows: a zombie outbreak has been caused by a street drug called "Natas" and we follow Hunter, played by Martin Copping, as he goes around wiping out the Flesh Eaters. He drives around in a beat up Camaro and looks a lot like Mad Max.Danny Trejo does another stellar job playing Danny Trejo. This time he is a priest with a group of followers who are trying to escape the zombies and the run into Hunter who decides to give them a hand.Zombie Hunter is a low budget film but it makes do with what they have. It hearkens back to the horror movies of the 80's where there was lots of action, gore and sex. Some of the CGI leaves a lot to be desired but overall it is a well-produced film.As a zombie movie fan, this one may have just become my new favorite.
