not as good as all the hype

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

If Ben doesn't find a missing head in a few days, he's in danger of losing his own. Beware of the glowing reviews here from people who have something to do with the film! Don't know why IMDb doesn't monitor better. They should not post reviews until someone has 5 reviews under their belt. That would weed out the fakes more. They also always seem to favor showing the rave reviews even when most reviews are bad. That's not a good representation for the film in question.Any way, this movie is cheaply made and the acting is mediocre at best. The writing is dumb and the staging is worse. When the hot babe is introduced she's basically wearing a negligee with a jacket over it! Yikes. And she has a PC on her desk that looks like it was made in 1980! The movie drones on talk talk talk zzzz zzzz zzzzz.None of it is believable. Fast forward to 31 for the sex scene and tell me if you also agree that the witch -- who has tiny breasts -- also has implants. I'm pretty sure. Anyway, the sex is scene is about as boring as the rest of the movie.There is little in this film to capture your attention. I won't reveal the ending, but OMG! I laffed so hard. It's so cheesy and unintentionally funny.This movie is not good.

However, Ben soon discovers that Sarah is a witch and his coworkers are the tormented souls of Sarah's previous conquests.There is not much I really have to say about this one other than it is boring and just not a very great film. I love good horror and I love bad horror, and this is neither -- it is just a half-baked idea in the oven. And strangely, it seems to have a very similar cover to "Tamara", which came out the same year.The professor who knows the Middle Eastern things was interesting and this could have been developed more. I am not at all clear why they thought a cheap trinket from a gumball machine could pass as an ancient artifact... this needed more thought.

I purchased this movie sight-unseen at a video rental chain that was going out of business, so I can't complain as it probably cost me about a dollar. It is, of course, a very low-budget independent horror film. I've seen a number of movies that fall under this category, so I'm no stranger to incompetence and utter crap when it comes to movies.First, it should be noted that from a technical perspective, this was a reasonably well done movie. I've seen independent horror flicks where the creators couldn't even figure out how to get the sound and light done right. Even the acting here isn't terrible; the leads do, at very least, seem to have some training in the art.Okay, so now I've just written two paragraphs that amount to my telling any reader that this movie could be much worse. Make of that what you will.Doug Bennett (Mark Aiken) is trying to move up in the business world, and finds himself an aggressive agent, Sarah Tierney (Kristi Clainos), to place him into a higher salary. He starts a new job on the graveyard shift and, well, that's where it gets weird. The only people he comes across in the way of coworkers is some guy who just yells and runs at him, then vanishes without a trace. There's also some mysterious voice on the intercom and the agent (actually a headhunter, or so they say) gets naked and seduces him for some reason. Like I said, it does get weird.Doug later discovers that Sarah is some sort of ghost or other undead beast (complete with a little full-frontal nudity) and she's trying to use this late-night office job as a means of coming back to life, or something like that.Really, the biggest weakness of this movie is the script. Most of the criticism that I share with many of the other reviewers is that this was not well written. It sort of reminds me of the type of movies that get played at two in the morning on basic cable stations. It's a good movie to make out to, but not as good as Schindler's List.

it's been awhile since i've seen a badass horror flick without a major studio budget, but Paul Tarantino's headhunter ends the dry streak with a BANG. it's got everything from blood, guts, and gut-wrenching suspense to one sexy ass chick. the acting, surprisingly is great. not to mention the fact that Mark Aiken from Alias and Matt Bushell from 24 are in it. if u like either of those shows you gotta see headhunter. i think the description on IMDb was perfect: Evil Dead meets Office Space. it can tickle your funny bone and make your stomach churn. i can't wait until the DVD comes out later this summer. gotta check this one guys.
