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.
