A minor miracle, November 17, 2009
This review is from: Call of the Hunter (DVD)
Read the review by Gavin Stanley/Remotegoat.co.uk which sums it up perfectly:
Considering the pittance that this really entertaining and inventive film took to make, it is very much a minor miracle of a film. Everything from the direction and stylized shots to the soundtrack, score and overall quality is amazing. Apparently the budget was around £25k!!! Well for that I would have expected a b-list feature length soap with wooden acting and poorly lit sets. I was very surprised to be totally engrossed in the film and had no 'niggles' in my mind like 'that looked cheap', 'that sound was dodgy' and so on. In fact it was the opposite. The shots were excellent and interesting, the rock soundtrack was superb, the script flowed extremely well and the plot was intelligent. It reminded me a little of a really good quality, contemporary, feature length version of 'Tales Of The Unexpected' mixed with a Hammer House Of Horror film and it felt like 'something a bit different' from horror movies that have been released recently which I have found boring with little imagination.
The performances from every member of the cast were excellent with a lot of variation in characters. Mike Instone came across very well indeed as the cheeky Brummie with a heart ( a heart of gold or a cut out of the chest beating heart with a knife in it??? Go see it and find out!).Also Katrin Riedel-Kelly did a great job of a very spooky and quirky loon.but overall the acting performances were spotless.
I thought that the effects in the film were very good and not too 'over the top' and the guts and gore were very convincing.
The mainly rock soundtrack suited the movie perfectly and drove the plot along with gusto and the score was very well done indeed and created the right tense atmosphere.
Overall, I think this movie has got the chance to become a real cult hit.
£25k for this!! Miracles do happen.

"call of the hunter " is a Brilliant film ,enjoyed it from start to finish ,very english ,very 70s style ,a kinda hammer horror meets tales of the unexpected creepy ghost story.
Great cast ,(they should all be huge stars)they all work well together and beutifully edited/directed by Anthony Straeger,you dont need mega bucks these days, & shows what you can do with good script/cast etc .
Cant wait for it to come to dvd ,.
I recomend this film fully .
Oh and the sountrack had some amazing music too !
