Director/Writer: Dustin Rikert.
Cast: Sam McConkey, Paulino Hemmer, Mike Lawler, Shari Wiedmann, and Rich Williams.
If there is ever a movie which is reminiscent of the schlock in theatres from the late 70's to mid 80's, then Death Hunter: Werewolves vs. Vampires is it. The script's underlying silliness is too obvious. If treated as a horror comedy, then the laughs have some merit.
Watching this film is like watching some of the silliness from the television series "Freddy's Nightmare" (1988-90), when Freddy is no longer scary, or Re-Animator (1985), where Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale) goads Herbert West on. Although the actors are trying to be serious, the end result is very mixed. The blood and guts spilled are low budget, and the acting uneven. At least Sotreum (Paulino Hemmer) is interesting as a suave antagonistic vampire.
Intentional or not, this movie is more like a dark action adventure...

(Aka Death Hunter: Werewolves vs. Vampires)
2010 - 95 mins. - Rated R
D: Dustin Eikert
C: Sam McConkey, Paulino Hammer, Mike Lawler, Mark Alderson, Adrienne Embry, Charlotte Bell, Rich Williams, Shari Wiedmann
A half man, half werewolf vigilante, with some teenagers in tow, seeks out the vampire who kidnapped his wife.
With a story involving vampires, werewolves and a death hunter, it's a given that people would expect some action involving these characters fighting one another. Most of the werewolf action is limited to the characters seeing a werewolf and then running away from it. It's obvious that the werewolf shown throughout the entire film is the same sequence repeatedly looped. There is one werewolf brawl, but it's over and done with before it has even begun. As for the big climatic vampire brawl between the death hunter and the head vamp, it doesn't have that grand finale feel to it.
