Monster Hunter.

This evening my missus tried her old trick of picking a film to watch she thought i might fancy so's i don't go sloping of to my den in peace.
Not necessarily a bad thing except she then falls asleep halfway and snores over the top of it anyway so i can't hear the bloody thing.
Anyway tonight's pick was a flick called Monster Hunter from NowTV. For some reason this has previously been released under the less corny though decidedly more ambiguous title of Dark Was The Night.
Kevin Durand (the Russian exterminator dude from tv's The Strain?) is the sheriff of the small rural town of Maiden Woods, a town that wakes up one morning to find strange non human footprints running right the way through their little hamlet and off into the woods. Before long farm animals start to go missing and then the strange sightings start.
Finally its dismembered bodies in the forest time and the sheriff and his new deputy Lukas Haas have to defend the town from forces unknown while trying to battle their own personal demons.
I quite enjoyed this little film, Kevin Durand is surprisingly good in a role that required a bit more emoting than I've seen from him before. And the rest of the cast including Jim Mickle regular Nick Damici put in decent performances.
Its clearly a b-picture so effects are a bit ropey but the whole thing works quite well i thought thanks to the slow burner character building approach taken.
As long as you don't go in expecting too much I'd recommend this one.

Oh and i watched the Lou Ferrigno film Hercules...
...erm...
