Hawk is a one line idea fleshed out in the extreme... it isn't this pantomime humor that finally sinks the film, it's the acting. Go to Full Review

…Hawk The Slayer might be a rip-off, but it’s a fun, idiosyncratic film that’s gaining momentum as a cult item…one of the cheesiest films ever made… Go to Full Review

Luke M Jul 18, 2018 this was amazing when i first saw it. sure the acting is hammy and the special effects a bit weak, but i still enjoyed the hell out of it. no quotes?!I still say to people -(when asked my name or just generally confused) "my name is Crow" See more
Abraham L Jan 15, 2017 It was soo bad, but great! I mean, it was cheezy, cliche, silly, campy, and overdramatic, but rather enjoyable. Cool sets and backgrounds which I appreciated, and that score ha, beauty. But it was embarrassingly sucky, though entertaining. Amazingly bad acting and effects, which of course added to the charm. At least it was short. Some rather funny moments. Ending was anticlimactic and disappointing. See more
