Fantasy/Horror Film 'The Head Hunter" Gets New Poster and Trailer

There are two genres in film that go hand in hand: fantasy and horror. And yet, not a lot of fantasy horror movies get made. Considering one of the oldest stories on this grimy green planet is a fantasy horror story, how is it we don't have more?

The Head Hunter heard my dark prayers for fantasy horror films, and delivered to us, the unworthy, this poster:

Whoooooo! I'm gonna explode!

On the outskirts of a kingdom, a quiet but fierce medieval warrior protects the realm from monsters and the occult. His gruesome collection of heads is missing only one – the monster that killed his daughter years ago. Driven by a thirst for revenge, he travels wild expanses on horseback, using sorcery to aid in his quest. When his second chance arrives, it's in a way far more horrifying than he ever imagined. A heartbreaking fairytale with a black soul, the film is constructed with very few elements, minimalistic and epic at the same time, where fantasy and horror find their more physical and gory incarnations.

I need a minute.

If you're anything like me, you're already fired up. The Head Hunter stars Christopher Rygh as the titular head hunter, and this dude has been the go-to actor for Big Angry North-guy roles lately. You've probably seen him smashing someone in something or another, like The Last Kingdom. And that beard is all real. Big, epic battle-beard. I'm sold.

If all of that wasn't enough, Vertical Entertainment has released a trailer for The Head Hunter:

Ooooooof. It's like Alien, but on earth. Without aliens.

The costume design looks epic, that beard could fight a hundred monsters on its own, and if there's a heavy metal soundtrack? Sign me the freak up. I'm ready.

The Head Hunter will be released on April 5th, so hopefully we will all have enough time to prepare.
