‘Planet Earth II’ Featured One of the Most Intense Moments I’ve Ever Seen in Any Genre
The BBC nature documentary Planet Earth II isn’t where I would expect to find one of the most tense and thrilling chase scenes I’ve ever witnessed but goddamn did it deliver just that. Forget Mad Max: Fury Road. Forget The Hitcher. Everyone, I want you to watch what happens when a lizard wanders into the wrong part of nature and finds itself face-to-face with a metric fuckton of snakes, all of whom are interested in devouring this creature.
I’m not joking when I say that I watched the 2-minute plus clip and found myself holding my breath. We often see cat-and-mouse situations in horror films but seeing it in real life, where a life really is on the line, made it all the more real and intense.
Planet Earth II is a six-episode documentary that is airing on the BBC. However, we in America won’t get to see it until it makes its debut on January 28th, so you might as well just sit back and enjoy three major holidays before we can hear David Attenborough’s soothing and wise voice.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
