Tagline:	If it bleeds, we can kill it...
Favourite line:	"If it bleeds, we can kill it."

Possibly Arnhult's best movie, this is perfectly suited to his brand of muscle bound, testosterone driven heroism.

You know the story, surely:
A bunch of knuckle-headed marines find themselves stranded in the middle of a jungle, ostensibly to search for another group of soldiers that appear to have gone missing.
They soon find the other group - skinned.
Gradually, they realise that they are not the hunters but the hunted.
An alien lifeform that hunts for sport, and takes the skull as a trophy of its kill shares the jungle, and has them in its sights.

Effectively suspenseful in places, and with some great action scenes towards the end as Arnhult and the beast face off, this is lowbrow cinema of the best kind.
Love it.
