Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

GL84 When a spaceship crashes in their small town, a group of residents try to evade the extraterrestrial killer and his intergalactic hunter trying to bring him to justice before he kills off the whole town.There wasn't a whole lot here that's actually worthwhile, as this one had a lot of problems. One of the major ones is that it's supposedly big action scenes are just so badly-shot and look so off that it's nearly impossible to determine what's going on during the scene, which is when you want to know what's going on since it's the big action scenes against the alien. Even worse, character justification is completely moronic and mind-numbing what with all the conferences and meetings they hold to determine a course of action that end up taking away time for the big battles, what little one there is since the two featured combatants are never in the same place, making for a real let-down of a fight between them. Still, the main alien when it's on-screen looks really neat and several scenes get quite bloody, especially in the underground sewers, but overall this was just a mess.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

buffycor This film is so bad: script, editing, set, props, camera angle, acting, costume, characters - the list is seemingly endless, that it is strangely entertaining. It's clearly a (bad) rip-off of the Alien v Predator franchise to start with, but that is the very least of this film's crimes. It gets worse. The Hunter's costume is so poor, he looks like some idiot you'd see at Memorabilia or Comic Con. You know, the ones that think they look cool... The Alien's getup is diverse from the alien we all know (and love) enough to be unique(ish). But it's still terrible. I would say, "Watch this film if you want a laugh", or if you want a lesson in how NOT to make a film (or act, for that matter). If I could kick my own ass for buying it, I would.

MetalGeek Wow. Just...wow. How do I describe the badness that is "AVH: Alien Vs. Hunter?" I honestly wasn't expecting much from this movie to begin with, as it is an Asylum production (makers of such reviled "mockbusters" as "Transmorphers" and "The Terminators," as well as the infamous "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus") but in "AVH" they've truly outdone themselves in terms of craptacularity. Lord knows I love me some bad movies and I've even enjoyed some of the Asylum's other films, but "AVH" isn't even the "so-bad-it's-good" type of bad. This is just flat out AWFUL! In case the so-close-it's-possibly-copyright-infringement title and intentionally misleading DVD cover art don't make it immediately obvious, "AVH: Alien Vs. Hunter" is an EXTREMELY low budget bite off of the "Alien Vs. Predator" franchise. The "AvP" flicks have caused their share of fanboy arguments here and across the Net debating the films' relative worth (or lack thereof), but trust me folks, no matter which side of the argument you're on, the "AvP" series is Shakespeare compared to this cheap ass "homage." Our story (such as it is): a spaceship crashes in a remote mountain town, releasing a toothy, spider-like Alien which immediately sets about munching on townspeople, along with a "Hunter" (a heavily armed humanoid in a black armored suit) in hot pursuit. A local newspaper reporter (William Katt, now bearded and wrinkly but still maintaining traces of the white boy Afro he sported on TV's "The Greatest American Hero" decades ago) witnesses several of said munchings and high tails it back to town, where he bands together a group of fellow survivors. There they argue endlessly about how to get down off the mountain and get help. For some odd reason, rather than jumping in a vehicle and driving like hell, they decide to descend on foot through a seemingly endless series of sewer tunnels (?) which of course provides numerous hiding spots for the Alien to pick them off one by one. Eventually the group does an even dumber thing and splits up, so we have one half of the idiot troop stumbling around the woods, the other still in the sewers, all of them seemingly making up their dialogue as they go along. Occasionally the cheap looking creature pops up, and they all scream and run the other way. This scenario is repeated several times till the "Hunter" finally returns to kick some alien ass. The Hunter doesn't seem to care too much about the innocent humans caught in the crossfire, but that was fine by me, because by this point I didn't care about them either. Instead, I was focusing on DeDee (less successful sister of Michelle) Pfeiffer's sweaty cleavage as much as possible and wondering when this steaming pile would finally come to its merciful end.I understand that 20th Century Fox (owners of the "AvP" franchise) threatened to take The Asylum to court over this movie some time ago. I'm not sure how that all turned out but if anyone at Fox bothered to watch this movie, I bet they decided that it wasn't worth the time or trouble. From its shot-on-video look to its nonsensical dialogue to its terrible acting and effects, "AVH: Alien Vs. Hunter" is completely and utterly horrendous, even by the Asylum's low standards. Anyone dumb enough to rent this one under the mistaken impression that it's a legitimate entry in the "AvP" series deserves what they get, while those of you who are "in" on the Asylum joke and are expecting a "so bad it's good" movie to mock MST3K style will unfortunately be disappointed as well.Avoid, avoid, avoid!!

Ray Humphries What? There's no zero? Rating this abomination of a movie a "one" is really reaching! Acting -- one of the reviewers said William and Dee Dee were fine. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give the portrayers of the Hunter and the Alien a two, and those of the humans about half that. Can I say **UGH!** **Yeech!**? The only thing worse than the acting was the script (script?). Well, maybe the costumes of the Hunter and Alien. I suppose the Alien was a hand puppet -- it took me half way through to figure out that the thing which looked a bit like Rocket Man from the Moon with teeth, was really attached to the giant arachnid (well, I didn't actually count the legs...).Oh yes, script. We have a cadre of idiots running from a couple (at least) of murdering, man-munching monsters, and they dawdle along like kids on there way to detention. Sometimes they are crawling through a supposed tunnel (you can't see the ceiling, but they're on their hands and knees so I suppose the audience is supposed to suppose it's low) and sometimes walking upright in a "sewer" that would make the Paris underground resemble an ant farm. This meander starts in some redneck's basement/cellar and winds up -- oops! -- in the Hunter's, or is it the Alien's spaceship? I can't tell because it contains a dead alien and the Hunter's spare cannon.The best shots are overhead of the forest. Interestingly, sometimes it's green and sometimes it's brown... One might say "tempus fugit," but since all the activity (I won't dignify this excreta by calling it action) occurs in a single day, one might suppose it took enough time to produce this mess that a change of seasons obtained. Hopefully not. If they spent more than a day filming this twaddle someone ought to be fired. Or maybe someone just ought to be fired.I was never sure whether the idiotic behavior of the cast -- and the insipid dialogue (upon receiving the Hunter's spare weapon, William says, "I've never seen anything like this before) was intentional humor, reflected the writer's opinion of the average person, or reflected the writer's person. They try to give it some play at the very end when the Hunter, who turns out to be human, says the local planet has been Terra-formed, implying that what we've just seen was not "life on earth" but some low grade mimic. I'm betting this was added by the producers when they saw the dailies and said "Oh my God!"
