Blockbuster. Updated on 24 May 2021 A 2D run and gunner that's as in your face as an 80s Troma classic, Huntdown matches its excess with brilliant detail. It's an incontrovertible truth that the recipe for the ultimate Friday night in involves a stash of cheap beer, some cheap weed and a scratchy 80s sci-fi classic where it soon becomes clear the cast and crew were indulging in much the same throughout the shoot: The Hidden with its machine gun wielding strippers, or Night of the Comet with its post-apocalyptic shopping mall shootouts. Small wonder that the era's been plundered so heavily by video games ever since - these VHS wonders are shorthand for the kind of hedonism and excess we pick up our controllers for in the first place.
