If the film had kept it’s original title and artwork it would have been much easier to evaluate it. But by changing the title and giving Dolph Lundgren more prominent billing, (he has what amounts to a glorified cameo along with former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard as characters in a cop show, segments of which play a role in the film’s events), it sets you up to expect sci-fi action along the lines of the classic I COME IN PEACE/DARK ANGEL. What you get is something quite different, which left me initially disappointed. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it actually was a good film, though much darker and funnier than what I was expecting.

There’s a fair amount of suspense along with the dark humor, backed up with some surprisingly good alien effects and gore. And I didn’t feel cheated by the ending, something I’ve been feeling with a lot of films lately. Director Trevor Ryan and writer Tim Ryan, (yes they’re brothers) have put together a nice little package that’s been somewhat sabotaged by it’s marketing. If you go into it with no plot expectations, you should find ALIEN HUNTER a lot of fun.
