Look at her body mechanics, this is not a safe way to shoot, because if your not in 100% control of that weapon, things could go south quickly.
See that left leg lift off the ground from the kick? She is a half heartbeat away from falling on her butt, and where does the dangerous end of that shotgun go then?
Zombie Hunter is a script written by a twelve zombie lover. Don’t get me wrong though, that isn’t always a bad thing. You have the bad ass, a few hot chicks, a few other survivors, and Danny Trejo – who is in the movie for what I think is a total of 5 minutes. I think it was all they could afford, it is a B movie after all.
If your in the mood for a silly, classic, B Zombie Movie, then Zombie Hunter is just the flick for you, and it scores a 70/100 because of it.
This is not this woman’s fault. Whoever put that 12G in her hands did a bad thing, and I pray that it only had one shell in the shotgun otherwise when it slammed back there is a chance of a slam fire.
Start new shooters with .410 or 20 gauge when you hand them a shotgun and make sure they can safely handle that before handing them a 12G, much less a pistol grip 12G.
Hostile tells the story of Juliet, played by Brittany Ashworth, as she tries to survive in the post apocalyptic world. Food and resources are scarce, and at night the “Reapers” come out to hunt for food. The movie starts out strong, with Juliet scavenging.
Things are looking good for Hostile at this point, at least until Juliet swerves off a dirt road and flips her truck, and breaks her leg. This is where the movie really went south. There are long flashbacks revealing her addiction, and her previous relationship with the man who helped save her from heroine.
This would all be fine, except it really broke the rhythm of the movie. What could have been a classic zombie survival movie turned into a strange Romeo and Juliet (at least they didn’t name the male character Romeo) story.
The ending was as bad as it was predictable, and I’m being generous when giving it a 40/100. There are better zombie movies out there, and this is one you should skip.
I really hope this is an air soft shop. Clearly that is not a real grenade, but if I popped off smoke in my local gun shop there would be multiple drawn pistols…
When Another World started I was so psyched. It had all the things I want in a zombie movie. It is the end of the world, the undead are roaming and humanity is on the brink of dying. The two main characters have a mission, and it is simpler, kill as many of the undead as they can. They set up ambushes, lure the undead in, and then blow the hell out of the biters.
I honestly could have watched a movie just built around that simple, hunt and kill, premise. As the duo moves on to another target, the female leads enter the picture. They aren’t the reason the movie takes a turn for the worse, at least not directly, but when they join, the conversations get more involved, and the writer/director felt the need to try and give the characters “deeper motivations”. How did that work out? Let me graph for it for:
Did I need to add the color? No, but I liked the way it looked. This movie did not need a complicated back story. It was a Zombie Movie and should have been about surviving, and killing zombies. We didn’t need the additional, very predictable, origin story. This movie would have been so much better if it just followed the pattern set in the first ten or fifteen minutes of the movie. Survivors find other survivors, they train them how to fight, and then the movie ends with an epic zombie horde coming down on the survivors.
This was a budget movie, but the fight scenes were well done. If Another World had gone a slightly different direction, it could have been a sleeper hit, but as it was, it reached too far, and fell flat on its face.
So how did it rank overall? I’m giving it a 35/100, but the honest truth is that 34 of those points are just because of the first fifteen minutes of the movie.
I totally get the thrill of shooting larger caliber weapons. I do.
But as the owner of some of those guns, I also need to know that I am not going to hand a larger caliber weapon to a novice shooter until I see them work up to it by shooting smaller caliber, easier to learn on, weapons.
