A journalist named Lee Custler (William Katt) is out jogging when a flying object passes behind him and crashes. Sheriff Joel Armstrong (Collin Brock) picks him up and they go to check it out. They find an abandoned caravan close to where the object crashed. As they discover the object and realize it is a spaceship, an Alien emerges. The Alien (resembling a giant spider with a lizard-like head and torso) then chases them, after which Lee flees to the car. However Armstrong makes a stand, trips, falls and is killed by the Alien that then leaves. A terrified Tammy finds Lee and they call the local authorities but their car is destroyed by the Alien.

In Alien vs Hunter a washed-out T.C Boyle like writer and a group of other bleak characters get in the crossfire of a fight between the title-giving Alien and Hunter. While the two extraterrestrial species fight each other, the innocent humans are in danger of becoming their war victims. In other words: The Asylum made a blatant rip-off of the Alien vs. Predator franchise.The monsters look like they're done by a 7-year old playing around with Windows Movie Maker, there's a constant, annoying tone of yellow throughout the movie and the cast of characters is shallow and boring enough to guarantee you to never feel any sense of dread. Even if the movie cared enough about its characters to make us worry about them, there would still be no sense of dread: The supposedly epic battle between the Alien and the Predator .. I mean Hunter, is boring, soulless and just downright insulting to every movie monster battle ever. Of course, B-Movies are there to deliver cheesy lines, bad monsters and sloppy special effects but there is no love here. Passionate B-Movie filmmakers can make up for a lack of budget by putting heart into their stuff. The Asylum in contrary seem to have set themselves the task of making the most lazy movie possible. There's not one good line and not one gory scare. The only thing it offers is a warning to never ever watch an Asylum film again.
I had attempted to watch this film twice before actually getting to the end of it, however it doesn't make much sense, the plot needed to be better and make more sense towards the end. at one point they decide to do one thing then you don't know what's going on, and they introduce the alien far too quickly also it seemed like I wasn't the only person who was bored while watching this film mainly because the main character looks very unconcerned in most of the parts with action in it, and some people are smiling when there about to be shot. the hunters lazy and looks like one of the droids from star wars, the alien repeatedly does the same things over and over again and the entire film just rips off Alien Vs Predator and it does a terrible job of it.
What? There's no zero? Rating this abomination of a movie a "one" is really reaching! Acting -- one of the reviewers said William and Dee Dee were fine. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give the portrayers of the Hunter and the Alien a two, and those of the humans about half that. Can I say **UGH!** **Yeech!**? The only thing worse than the acting was the script (script?). Well, maybe the costumes of the Hunter and Alien. I suppose the Alien was a hand puppet -- it took me half way through to figure out that the thing which looked a bit like Rocket Man from the Moon with teeth, was really attached to the giant arachnid (well, I didn't actually count the legs...).Oh yes, script. We have a cadre of idiots running from a couple (at least) of murdering, man-munching monsters, and they dawdle along like kids on there way to detention. Sometimes they are crawling through a supposed tunnel (you can't see the ceiling, but they're on their hands and knees so I suppose the audience is supposed to suppose it's low) and sometimes walking upright in a "sewer" that would make the Paris underground resemble an ant farm. This meander starts in some redneck's basement/cellar and winds up -- oops! -- in the Hunter's, or is it the Alien's spaceship? I can't tell because it contains a dead alien and the Hunter's spare cannon.The best shots are overhead of the forest. Interestingly, sometimes it's green and sometimes it's brown... One might say "tempus fugit," but since all the activity (I won't dignify this excreta by calling it action) occurs in a single day, one might suppose it took enough time to produce this mess that a change of seasons obtained. Hopefully not. If they spent more than a day filming this twaddle someone ought to be fired. Or maybe someone just ought to be fired.I was never sure whether the idiotic behavior of the cast -- and the insipid dialogue (upon receiving the Hunter's spare weapon, William says, "I've never seen anything like this before) was intentional humor, reflected the writer's opinion of the average person, or reflected the writer's person. They try to give it some play at the very end when the Hunter, who turns out to be human, says the local planet has been Terra-formed, implying that what we've just seen was not "life on earth" but some low grade mimic. I'm betting this was added by the producers when they saw the dailies and said "Oh my God!"
the only reason i would give this a 1 star is because there were parts of this movie that made me laugh because of how bad they were, like in one part the whole cast of 8 people (if that) are in the woods fighting the hunter and one of them gets knocked down and then is falling down a hill which came from nowhere. in one scene early on a guy is looking for a working cell phone, which 1st someone in the room is texting or something with a phone 2nd he pulls a phone out of his pocket later. this has the worst scenery, special effects, costumes, acting, script etc. i have ever seen. I've seen videos on youtube that a higher quality camera than this,and higher budgets and better acting. there was a part where i saw a fog machine on a shelf. many of the scenes were in one part, seriously there are 3 places i can think of that this was shot at. i thought it was supposed to be a knock off of AVP but the hunter looks like a samuri warrior or something and the alien looks the same but with spider legs. o have i explained the ending where the hunter takes off his mask and its a human! i can continue to warn you of all the evils of movie but there is just so much to explain. overall this movie is the worst movie i have ever seen... ever nothing is worse than this.
