Background:
Director and co-star Louis Mandylor has commented: “Operation Blood Hunt is a unique blend of World War II drama and supernatural adventure, and inspired by Daemon Hillin’s ambitious idea, I embraced the challenge of shooting this film in Thailand. Leading a talented cast and crew is an honour, and their dedication is what brings my vision to life. I am proud of what we’ve created and excited to share it with the world.”
Reviews:
” …the film’s dialogue sounds much too modern and never sounds like it’s from the 1940s […] Overall, though, Operation Blood Hunt is a fairly good action horror film as long as it keeps its focus on the lycanthropes. And it does give us enough of them, compounded with a few plot twists, that it is a fun film.” ★★★ Voices from the Balcony
