Kevin King writes and directs Zombie Hunter (2013) one of the latest in the easily forgettable
zombie film genre being produced at an alarming rate. It seems that there is a new zombie film
being released every month and very few ever amount to anything that hasn’t
become cliché. The same can be said for
this film.
Hunter (Martin Copping), as he is simply called, has been
surviving the zombie apocalypse on his own for a very long time without
anyone. When he is accidentally shot and
wounded he finds himself with an unlikely group of survivors of which Jesus
(Danny Trejo) is their leader, a man who has killed his fair share of the
undead. But Jesus and his group of
survivors have got more than they bargain for when a new breed of the undead
appears just after Hunter joins their group.
This new undead is meaner and more dangerous than anything they’ve ever
encountered before and it will take all of them working together to find a way
to survive.
Sounds like “maybe” an interesting concept but the entire
film is littered with bad performances, mediocre visual FX (some of which are
downright horrendous) and a horrible script with little point and no character
development. Even Trejo can’t save this
mess of a film. He has a couple decent action
sequences but when he fights the “big bad” at the end it’s rendered as a
horrible CGI monster. Not to mention
that this monster looks like the reject from a Resident Evil game.
It’s hard to come up with something new to do with the
zombie genre but this film misses it at every turn as its neither funny, nor
entertaining, nor any good. Just another
highly forgettable film.
