SHARE BUTTON Manhunt Flips The Formula By Gary Wien When you think of horror films, chances are you imagine teenagers in peril. That’s the classic formula but not what you’ll find in Manhunt. In the upcoming horror flick from Jay Lee (Zombie Strippers!), we see what happens when a couple of guys who know how to take care of themselves wind up in a worst case scenario while on vacation with their lifelong pals. We’re talking the ultimate wrestler versus psycho killer mountain man smack down! Here’s how the story is described on the film’s website: For three years Buck Severs, World Wrestling Champion, has been M.I.A. After a family tragedy and a major injury in the ring, Buck decides to return to “Bro’s Weekend” with his three best friends and try to put some perspective on his life. But Buck learns a little too late that the weekend will take place on a wildlife preserve, closed for 40 years, a vast, densely forested no-man’s land of no laws, no rangers, and no rules. He will also find out a little too late that on the preserve lives a wild man, a feral and inbred killer whose one pleasure is to hunt the humans that dare to trespass onto his domain. It will be up to Buck to find the fighter within himself if he is to survive the weekend. Advertise here for $25 - $100 call 732-280-7625 pg 111
