Ernst R. von Theumer’s Hell Hunters is coming to DVD from Film Chest Media on July 5, 2016. Restored in HD from the original 35mm print I believe this will be the DVD debut of this mid-80’s action flick. I think I saw this year’s ago, but I can’t quite remember. But hey, a mad doctor turns people in Nazi zombies? And there’s George Lazenby? That sounds fun!
Synopsis:
Deep in the jungle of Paraguay, Nazi zealot Dr. Martin Hoffmann (Stewart Granger) has been hiding for forty years, searching for a powerful weapon of science that will restore his dream of Nazi domination. Working with the venom of a deadly jungle spider, Hoffmann believes he has discovered such a weapon and, with his cohort Heinrich (George Lazenby), forms a plan to test his evil new serum on the population of Los Angeles; meanwhile, a dedicated band of Nazi-hunters, led by the beautiful Amanda (Maud Adams), is rapidly closing in on them. HELL HUNTERS, a top notch action adventure film set in several exotic locations of South America, is directed by Ernst R. v. Theumer.
