The staff and teenagers at a wilderness boot camp for problem teens are attacked by a vicious bio-mechanical alien. With nobody nearby to help them, they are forced to fight back on their own.
The poster artist doesn’t seem to know the movie is set in a desert…
This is a just-about-okay flick that is better than the stuff produced by the Asylum, for instance (which I know isn’t saying much!)
Desert boot camp
Directed by Greg Kiefer, THIRST features almost-okay (or at least acceptable) CGI, but some of the cliched characters get pretty irritating, which affects the potential watchability and enjoyment of the movie – and I think it would have been better if the alien’s origin had been gone into.
Critter alert!
If you fancy watching a bunch of one dimensional protagonists getting bumped off by a CGI critter that looks its best in the night scenes (but is featured in a lot of bright daylight scenes) this could well be the cliche-ridden flick for you!
The monster attacks!
The poster always makes the film look better, right?
Creature concept design by Mauricio Ruiz…
Shame the creature in the movie wasn’t as cool as this original design
A Sedonian alien trooper and his human adversary play a cat and mouse game of hunter and hunted on an arid desert planet they’ve crash-landed onto.

This low budget sci-fi flick is nicely shot in Baja California, features some neat alien makeups and is kind of a small-scale ENEMY MINE, although the two characters in this story don’t become friends.
There are other characters featured in the movie too, including a green-faced bounty hunter and other Sedonian stormtrooper-like commandos.

There’s a lot of trudging across sand dunes and sheltering beneath rocky overhangs in this movie, but it’s cool to look at, there’s a decent score, plus some plot twists and some small Sand Slug Creatures.

HUNTER PREY was directed by Sandy Collora, who made the shorts BATMAN: DEAD END (2003) and SHALLOW WATER (2013). He is also a very talented creature designer, concept illustrator and sculptor.
