Society is rocked by a sudden increase in the number of violent assaults on individuals. Christened ‘Haters’ by the media, the attackers strike without warning. Their attacks are brutal, remorseless and extreme. There are no apparent links between the Haters or their victims and no obvious reason for their violence. In seconds rational, controlled people become vicious killers.
We’re unsure how to judge this one. As we understand it, HATER was self-published online back in 2006 by a David Moody. Currently it’s readable only by excerpts and Amazon. Without an agent, Moody sold the movie rights to everyone’s favorite Hobbit wrangler, Peter Jackson. Now we have a viral sorta-trailer that skirts the edge of camp and horror. Will HATER be a HAPPENING or the next 28 DAYS LATER? Hard to say.
If it’s the next CLOVERFIELD we’ll have a hard time giving a damn.
