Watch The Woman Hunt For Free

Very well executed

Expected more

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This movie essentially begins with five attractive ladies being kidnapped and taken to an isolated place deep in the jungle with the understanding that they are to be used as sex slaves. However, upon the arrival of a few powerful and wealthy men, it is disclosed that these women are going to be hunted and killed for sport. As luck would have it, one of the abductors named "Tony" (John Ashley) has lost the confidence of his employer "Spyros" (Eddie Garcia) and decides to escape along with these women which greatly increases their chances of survival. Even so, they still must elude the hunters and cope with an equally dangerous jungle environment in the process. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film turned out to be slightly better than I expected due in large part because of the coherent plot and the smooth transition from one scene to another. Additionally, having several beautiful women like Pat Woodell (as "McGee"), Laurie Rose ("Lori") and Lisa Todd ("Magda") certainly didn't hurt either. In any case, while this clearly wasn't a great movie by any means, it managed to maintain my interest for the most part and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Average.

While I'm certain that the intended drive-in audience wasn't paying much attention in the "passion pits","The Woman Hunt" is not totally without interest. One intriguing aspect is that the film tends to flip back and forth between night and day faster than pages in a book. Sid Haig stands out as the only semi-competent actor, the hunted in the jungle story is simple and familiar, yet there is a raw fascination to "The Woman Hunt" from a bad movie perspective. On the plus side are some semi-creative kills, decent jungle photography, and the attractive hunted women. There is even a climactic nude swim, with an unexpected ending. - MERK

A bunch of women are abducted so they can be hunted down like animals by depraved wealthy perverts in the remote Filipino jungle. Director Eddie Romero, working from a suitably lurid script by David Hoover (who also co-wrote the story with none other than Jack Hill), relates the sleazy plot at a steady pace, delivers a handy helping of tasty gratuitous female nudity, further enlivens the proceedings with startling moments of bloody violence, and pulls out all the stops in the exciting last third when the titular hunt kicks in. The cast of familiar B-flick regulars play the material with real gusto: the always great Sid Haig cops the top acting honors with his splendidly slimy and spirited portrayal of leering and lecherous dirtbag Silas, "Hee Haw" honey Lisa Todd likewise hits it out of the ballpark with her perfectly icy portrayal of cold and ruthless lesbian Magda, John Ashley does well as the laid-back and basically decent Tony, plus there are sound contributions from Pat Woodell as the assertive McGee, Charlene Jones as the sassy Billie, Laurie Rose as the feisty Lori, Ken Metcalfe as the vicious Karp, and Eddie Garcia as evil rich sadist Spyros. Better still, we've also got a foul misogynistic sensibility evident throughout which gives this picture an extra scuzzy edge. Justo Paulino's cinematography is rather plain, but overall acceptable. Jerry Dadap's groovy and lively score does the get-down funky trick. Fun schlock.

The Woman Hunt is yet another version of the often copied classic The Most Dangerous Game; only this time, the main focus is on sleaze rather than horror. The film was written by Jack Hill and directed by Eddie Romero - two of the people involved in bringing us sleaze classics such as The Big Doll House and The Big Bird Cage; so anyone that has seen those two will have some idea of what to expect from this one. Naturally, the film was made on a low budget and as such it all feels very cheap - they couldn't afford good actors either, but apparently beautiful women don't cost much...so that's good. Naturally, the basis for the plot focuses around the idea of a bunch of women being captured; and then hunted down for sport. We focus on the group of mercenaries charged with rounding up the women needed (which are kidnapped to order). They hunt down the women and then take them back to their employers; a rich group of people that use the women as prostitutes for their rich clients.The Woman Hunt clearly does take influence from The Most Dangerous Game; although it doesn't completely rip it off and only the second half of the film is a real copy. The film is very uneven for much of the duration. Parts of it seem to be dubbed too, and the dubbing is really atrocious. The night shots are far too dark and at times I struggled to see what was going on. This also transcends to the plot, as the film is interesting in parts; and then rather boring in others, which really brings down the quality of the film. The only big name in the cast belongs to Sid Haig; and if anything he's completely wasted - especially considering how much he stood out in Jack Hill's pair of women in prison movies. The film is not very graphic either; although the version I saw ran for barely seventy five minutes, so there's a good chance that it was cut. Even so, it could have been a lot sleazier which would have improved the whole film. Overall, I'd say this might be worth seeing for fans of grindhouse cinema...but it's a long way from being a classic.
