Casper Van Dien enters his "creepy" era

Casper Van Dien may forever be associated with his character Johnny Rico in Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers," but in the past 25 years, the square-jawed actor has appeared in more than 100 films and TV series from "Sleepy Hollow" and "Tarzan and the Lost City," to B-movies such as "Ratpocalypse." 

Currently Van Dien stars in "Hunt Club" as Carter, a man who stages a "Most Dangerous Game"-like hunt where captive women including Cassandra (Mena Suvari) must stay alive for 24 hours to earn $100,000. Moreover, Carter hopes to make "a man" out of his gender fluid son, Jackson (Will Peltz), by taking him on his first hunt. If this sounds unpleasant, rest assured, "Hunt Club" is a feminist revenge flick directed by a woman, Elizabeth Blake-Thomas.
