I was extremely excited to learn that somebody picked up the story again and moved forward with it. Screenwriter Miguel Tejada-Flores seems to think it's a really cool word and repeats it every opportunity he gets. Oh, and don't forget to count how many times the characters mention the word 'screamers'. And the end? It's as predictable as the rest of the film. Why didn't they put Henrickson in charge of the mission? The man has presence and the young crew members simply do not. Let's just leave it at lots of meandering, lots of banal dialogue, lots of bad acting and a thankless appearance by Lance Henrickson. If he succeeded in escaping, he would let. The behavior for the Screamer was for him to wander around areas, much like the Witch, paying no attention to his surroundings until coming in contact with a Survivor whereupon, if sufficiently agitated, he would run away from Survivors in an attempt to hide. Along the way they'll meander around, discover some survivors, run, discover that Screamers have gotten aboard their ship (how, exactly, is never disclosed), run back to the survivors, get the majority of the survivors slaughtered, leave with someone meant to be a red herring (right), meander some more while looking for fuel cells and. The Screamer was a cut infected from Left 4 Dead, he wore a psychiatric-style straitjacket. Speeding their efforts is some sort of super storm that's going to wipe out all life on the planet, giving them a couple of days to complete their mission. Things are still bad on Sirius 6B and when a distress signal is sent to Earth, the Alliance dispatches a few 20-somethings to seek out any survivors and bring them back home. However, when you give bad actors some bad dialogue, riddle a plot with inconsistencies, gaping holes and a lack of any logic while making it all extremely easy to pick out every twist and turn to come, then you get 'Screamers: The Hunting'. If you give bad actors some good dialogue or even good actors some bad dialogue, you sometimes get lucky. Now comes Sheldon Wilson who tries to make up for a ridiculous story with some interesting visuals.

Hey, it wasn't perfect, but he succeeded more than not. Director Christian Duguay had the foresight to use some decent actors (Peter Weller chiefly among them), paid attention to fashioning a politically charged story and did his best to deliver a decent film. Included in many of the similar returning. I caught the first 'Screamers' in the theater and enjoyed the heck out of it. Back 4 Blood returns the cooperative zombie-killing action we waited for since Left 4 Dead 2 was released in 2009.
