This April ‘The Head Hunter’ Is Out For Revenge

Vertical Entertainment has unveiled the new trailer for Jordan Downey‘s medieval horror film The Head Hunter ahead of its April arrival. The film centers on a lonely, twisted trek of a bounty hunter (Christopher Rygh) who seeks vengeance on the monster that killed his only daughter. “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.
