Synopsis

Jim and Brad make their annual hunting trip to the desert, but this year everything is different: Their third partner, Paul, has died in an accident and they've taken his nephew, Ray, along in his place. When they arrive, though, there's not a single animal to be found, only a grizzled old-timer who joins them. When they meet two female campers, they all begin to behave aggressively, unable to resist their animal urges. The next morning the women have disappeared, but the strange moods and behaviors persist and change in ominous ways. Something has them in its grip and it has total control over them...

ryan-10075 Three guys (2 buddies and the nephew of their dead friend) go on a hunting trip that happens every year. They meet up with always good Chuck Connors who plays expert hunter Stan Brown. He tells them there is no game anywhere, but the three brush it off and go off on their hunting expedition anyway. But once the hot female campers disappear and they catch themselves eating some raw bear it's time to hit the road Jack, but they find out it's not that easy. Now, there really is some mystery shrouding the story, some good music throughout and Chuck Connors is good and not wasted. Yet the execution on the story needed to be reworked I thought in order for this to hit the mark. The final act works best, but the opening act is bad. As well there is this evil or bad guy P.O.V. while the characters are sleeping that is down right cheesy and not scary at all. It gets old real fast, but they keep going to it during the movie. Also starring Marc Singer.I did wonder when watching this movie though how many days were they planning to go without a change of clothes? Did they not bring any with them?Close, but not close enough 5/10
haebooty Possibly the finest film I have ever seen. After receiving this movie from my brother for my birthday along with "Air Disasters 2" from a dollar bin at a 49er video, my expectations were low. However, the movie started off with a bang and engulfed me into its majesty.In the first scene it punches you in the mouth with the classic, "What can I say? Men bond; women network." Followed up by a man receiving a gun in a gym and pointing it at pedestrians walking outside on the street. "All right. Good deal!" Just when you think the hits have stopped coming you get kicked in the ca-hones with, "Good god, if I wanted to hear old women bicker, I'd go visit my great aunt --- AT THE NURSING HOME!" Which promptly led to possibly the greatest cinematic sequence of all time, which we will simply refer to as 'campfire madness'.If you have not seen this movie yet, do as the immortal actor Chuck Conner, who plays Stan the Mountain Man says --- "Go on. Take a look. RARRRRRRR, rip you open like a sack of manure!"
Movie Nuttball The film is very different and good at the same time. Chuck Connors was great. Marc Singer was good and I thought he looked a lot like Kevin Bacon in the film.This movie looked at a different way of aliens. If you like Chuck Connors and strange films about aliens then see High Desert Kill!
davros-evil-overlord This film is special. Having Just read Cal 37 review, I can only whole heartedly agree with it. It is just plain terrible!!! The acting is so wooden, and the script is hilarious (note chuck connors "blood rings the dinner bell"). Back to the acting - if anyone has ever seen this film, cast your mind back to when they first arrive in the desert in the jeep. Note the "stretching scene" when they get out of the jeep. It is so overdone - it had me in stitches. And as for the dancing and party scene - well, what can I say, apart from "can you still get crazy old timer?". And as for the dancing? Does anyone actually dance like that in real life? If they do, then they need serious help. So funny.And uncle paul - well what a role he had in the film. After this film he must've had so many offers to star in such hollywood greats as this "film" is................Check it out, just for the sheer hilarity of it all. Laughed? I nearly cried.10,000 volts.............................
