Surprisingly good film all around
I went into the video store and saw this title, looked at the intriguing cover and decided to give it a try. I like to give indie films a fair chance and this one looked like it may be good or terrible. I was surprised. The film was put together like a documentary, which really gives an eerie feeling throughout. The acting was pretty good, a little corny at times with certain lines, but all in all decent. The story was creepy in the sense that three hunters (one of whom is only an 8 year old boy) are in the woods, trapped, and alone, with an unknown presence hunting them. As a hunter myself, I appreciated the knowledge that went into filming this movie to show hunting as a moral sport, not a blood sport like many assume. The CGI effects were also surprisingly well done and the music was great. All in all a good film for horror buffs with a great twist of an ending. 7 out of 10 stars.
Pleasantly Surprised
Even though I had never heard of this movie before, the DVD case caught my eye at Blockbuster the other day, so I decided to rent it and give it a shot. I'm very glad I did. This is a creepy little movie that's pretty involving, and it moves at a fast enough pace that you're never bored. The acting is good all around, and even though it borrows heavily from The Blair Witch Project, I didn't feel The Hunt was a copycat movie. It has its own unique angle. I really enjoyed this, and I am recommending it to all my friends. If you're a fan of science fiction or horror, you should really like this.
A Surprise Ending you won't see coming
I saw this film at the Chicago Horror Film Festival and I must say that it had a surprise ending that you just don't see coming. The acting in it is also very good, surprising to see in many Independent films that you see. Plus the effects were done very well. I can't believe this one didn't win best Effects at the festival. I did see that it did win Best Actor which is good. Robert Rusler (Vamp) did a great job in this film. His character was just so far out there and fun to watch. The kid also did a great job in the film. The film is a little confusing at first, with all the cutting in of different kinds of footage, but once the film gets moving, it stays flowing at a pretty smooth pace.
Excellent movie! Really had me going.
I just watched this movie last night and loved it.I am not sure if it's really a true story or not but it sure had me going.It is either true or the maker's of this movie want us to believe it.It is very convincing and extremely well acted and real.I loved the brutal honesty of it.These are the kind of movies I like and hope to see more of.I don't understand how a movie like this isn't distributed to a bigger audience.I mean I had to rent it from a video store that specializes in indie and harder to find DVD's.Even blockbuster didn't have it.I think a movie like this should have played in all the major theater's.I hope more people get to see it because it's got a lot going for it.It has talented actors,a good storyline,action,suspense,mystery,nice scenery,cinematography,well paced and more.I am planning on buying this DVD and will enjoy showing it to all my friends.It did start out a little slow but it was a nice character development instead of it being rushed like some movies are. The special effects were quite good considering the budget especially towards the end of the film.A couple of my favorite scenes were when Atticus,Jack and Clint stopped into a greasy spoon coffee shop/restaurant and met some of the locals.And I liked it when they encountered the hunter (played by Thomas Cunningham).I got a kick out of him.I loved it when he put the 2 men in their place but warned them not to go in the forest. I give this movie a 10 out of 10.This movie really makes you think afterwards about what is going on out there that we aren't aware of and if there are real cover ups happening.I strongly recommend this movie.
Suspenseful, and earnest acting
Saw this in the Blockbuster and picked it up as a Friday Night flick. The premise is straightforward: Hunters go into the woods-- and find something unexpected. Difference is that the hunters are portrayed as good ordinary guys who hunt for plain sport-- they're not uneducated, Bloodthirsty hillbillies. Just Hunters. The Stepdad is played with good, solid earnestness. The kid is just a kid-- no oozy, sacchar-whiney uber-cuteness-- just a kid who gets more and more scared as time goes on while the conflict between the two adults build and build. The ending left me kinda thoughtful-- but not in a bad way.
