Hunter's Blood (1986)

"Hunter's Blood" is just okay as far as "Deliverance"-inspired, 'backwoods survival' movies go. There's nothing too ground-breaking about it, though I honestly didn't have a hard time deriving some enjoyment out of it, as a whole.

Some "city-slickers" cruise out into the woods to do some hunting, but not before encountering a group of local poachers whom they have a hand in apprehending along with a pair of game-police. The fight is on when the criminal 'good ol' boys' break free from their chain-gang - killing the cops - and go after the hunters with a score to settle...

There's a few decent scenes - one of which involving a guy shown twitching after getting the majority of his head blasted off and Clu Gulager kicking a surprising amount of ass for a man his age. The performances are all good and it supplies some adequate suspense but, in all, "Hunter's Blood" didn't really come across as anything all that notable in my book. For a 'backwoods-thriller' it was entertaining enough, but isn't the best I've seen as far as these types of movies go but is far from the worst. Moderately recommended for fans of 'hillbilly-horror' or survival flicks.
