#THEHUNTER CALL OF THE WILD PC HOW TO EQUIP LURES MOVIE#
Now I won't go as far as saying that it is the ultimate in survival-action (I think DELIVERANCE still ranks at number 1), but damn this movie rocks! I personally think it kicks more ass than RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD. I don't know about you but that's everything I look for in an action movie. The forestry filming locations are impressive, the story doesn't contain any dull or unnecessary padding sequences and the level of suspense is continuously kept high. Ernest Dickerson formerly a skilled cinematographer does an admirable job directing his first long feature and he went on making the vastly entertaining Tales from the Crypt movie "Demon Knight". McGinley (as a frustrated hunter with a vengeance) or of course Rutger Hauer as the mega-bastard.
Murray Abraham (as a sinister Wall Street big shot), Gary Busey (as an out-and-out deranged FBI psychiatrist), the overacting John C. I can't even pick a favorite performance between F. As indicated above, the film's main trump is the cast and particularly because each and every cool actor depicts a marvelously eccentric character. The violence is pretty gratuitous and served without any form of morality, but what else do you expect from a B-movie. "Surviving the Game" is quite a gruesome and nihilistic-toned film definitely not for people with vulnerable stomachs. Mason may be suicidal, but he still wants to decide for himself when he dies, and so he successfully fights back. The sly businessman Thomas Burns lures Mason to the wilderness with a false job promise, but instead he and his maniacal rich friends simply intend to hunt down Mason like an animal and kill him for sports. Jack Mason is an embittered and suicidal homeless man who loses his last will to live when both his dog and best friend in one day. "Surviving the Game" is a rather rudimentary re-working of the premise, but nonetheless a very effective one with a downright awesome cast listing and a handful of genuine shocks.
Schoedsack's original 30's classic "The Most Dangerous Game" undoubtedly remains the greatest version, but I particularly love how there exist numerous variations on the theme, like an excessively violent one set on a futuristic prison island ("Blood Camp Thatcher") or a super-sleazy one where they exclusively hunt scarcely dressed girls (Eddie Romero's "The Woman Hunt"). The "manhunt" action/suspense premise may perhaps be nearly as old as cinema itself, but it's also one that practically always guarantees a bloody good time! I've seen several film versions of the hunting-humans concept and loved them all except for one (the abominable 60's bore "Bloodlust!").
