Hunter Prey (2010)

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Blistering performances.

This is a great film. It is slow and not for everyone, but it's supposed to be that way. I came across this director as the guy who make a short Batman film, but he sure did progress. That 9 minute short was good, but this production is no less than a big box version of anything. $900K made a great impact on the Sci-Fi industry with this thought provoking film and while it was a bit drawn out, it really delivered. The cinematography was great, the location was great and the editing was great. There's nothing not to like about this film unless you are expecting some kind of intergalactic war. Although that is taking place somewhere else, the two "aliens" in this film give you all you need for a fantastic film. In our day now, it is nearly unbelievable that someone can make a film on that budget and produce such a masterpiece.

Straight away: The best one could do with a sci-fi alien based plot in a budget like that!Visually, it is a masterpiece, well shot and the CGI (whatever little there is and make up is so very very good! It is more of a single act play in many ways. I haven't much to say except we all have seen much much much worse movies made on very inflated budgets. This is the kind of work all movie makers need to be doing. Watch it in HD or superHD, its worth it.The plot is quite simple yet very well executed and the cinematography does so much justice to the whole premise, that you can hardly take your eyes away. Sci-Fi channels, this is definitely the kind of work you should be doing! What is budget in the face of talent? If any one is interested, this movie is currently on NETFLIX in superHD.

What can I say, Seen thousands of films, even been in one or two( the back of my head at the rear of a crowded room), But this was a real breath of fresh air, yes its on a small budget but they spent their money well, Good acting and some interesting scenes play out before you, just sit back and relax and enjoy the film for what it is, a well written, polished film yes made with very little money but a real pleasure to watch. If its ever remade with a vast budget it would be a film of the year contender, where ever they got the idea from they should go pick up some more as its a nice alternative to the formulaic block busters.thank you.

This movie may not be brilliant, but how can some people compare it to "Enemy Mine", one of the worst/dumbest/soppiest and most-overrated sci-fi films of all time. That visually unappealing sentimental politically-correct fluff is sci-fi only in appearance; it's a watered-down version of a guy's flick, watered-down down down all the way to the lowest-common-denominator level of a hankie-wetting weak movie – the sort of demographic group (along with them and others like that) I'd normally expect to watch and weep to its trite, idealistic, pathetic premise. I don't think even Batman and Spiderman movies deserve to be compared to such stuff. Perhaps not even "Avatar"! No. I take that back. "Avatar" is actually even worse than "Enemy Mine".Not that HP doesn't have its own brief moments of misguided lofty idealism – i.e. sheer silliness. Case-in-point: "You harboured fugitives, so it cost you your planet," says Centauri, the main nose-less alien protagonist, to which Jericho (the last human left) responds: "It cost us everything, but we made the right decision." Now that was silly. I don't see how even the most empty-headed, weak, idealistic, brainwashed, naive, weird immoral thing could possibly consider ANY decision that leads to the demise of the entire human race as "the right decision". It boggles the mind. This line alone carries so much bad weight (measured in horse things), that it alone could have sunk this movie, were it not easy to forgive this B-movie its comic-book roots hence justifiable naivety. Fortunately, this was an isolated incident.Three Boba Fetts crash-land on an unknown planet where they chase their escaped prisoner. Well, of course he's a human. Once it is revealed that the three Bobas are in fact nose-less rock-faced aliens, it's just simple 2 + 2 addition from there: the prisoner must be a human. Or do you think anyone out there actually has the nerve to make a sci-fi film that is totally devoid of men? Not a chance. If there are any, please let me know.There are plenty of twists and turns; some work, some don't; some are genuinely surprising, some are predictable. But at least the movie keeps moving, although the non-changing setting will doubtlessly prove too tiresome for some viewers. It also helps that there are no major logic holes. The only dodgy moment I could mention at this point is that Centauri let Jericho live, which makes very little sense. Never were we given enough proof that Centauri hates his race and planet so much that he would let an alien – whom he'd hunted all along until then – destroy it. This is too much of a stretch.Speaking of which, HP's shoe-string budget had been stretched rather well, still looking like a low-budget film but not at the Z-level that for example Sci-fi Channel's generally plastic-looking produce normally does. I like the setting, the costumes are quite OK; I see no reason for complaints there. No-one has make-up or is wearing strange blouses.
