Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe black & white footage shown to Julian Rome is footage from The Thing from Another World (1951). This footage was also used in the remake of The Thing from Another World, John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), and it is the film that R.J. MacReady finds in the destroyed Norwegian camp.
- GoofsDespite the modern, post-USSR insignia that the crew of the Russian submarine wear, the commander addresses an officer as "tovarischi" or "comrades", which is then translated to "gentlemen" in the subtitles.
- ConnectionsReferences E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Featured review
Better than average.
Reading over the reviews for this film, I see that pretty much everyone agrees that while it's not an A+ Top Notch effort, it certainly isn't as bad as it could have been.
What's good about it:
1) James Spader (!), who's incredible in everything he's in. 2) Pretty good Visual Effects. 3) Nice Musical Score.
What's average:
1) The other performances. 2) The story (as many have pointed out, it's a mosaic of other movies).
What's monumental:
You will never see another movie in which the end credits has as many crew members with last names ending with the letter "v."
What's unforgivable:
The title! "Alien Hunter" is an absolutely terrible name. Surely they could have come up with something a little more enticing. It sounds like a reject Jean-Claude film title.
I'm still amazed that they were able to cast James Spader in this. I mean, JAMES SPADER!!! :)
Bored? Nothing else to watch or rent? Give this movie a try.
