Hunter Hunter

Well, that's one way to reestablish the ol' redneck-in-the-woods horror, I guess. I'm not entirely sure THAT ending is the ending for THIS movie, but after those final 15 minutes, I'm not sure of much of anything.

Pretty decent build up, but the ending kinda falls flat. Yes, it’s somewhat unexpected, but a certain character needed a lot more screen time for it to really land. It’s the kinda thing that would work after multiple seasons of a tv show, not necessarily for this movie. Linden has potential as a director, but his script needs a bit of work.

Despite being a McGuffin, the wolf in this film is one of the most blatant recent examples of how horror cinema demonizes wildlife through unrealistic portrayals. The film then convolutedly moves on to other cliches, and its bad pacing and missed beats put a huge damper on whatever suspense it could have achieved. Ending is an attempt to shock that is wholly reliant on the makeup department, and doesn't really pack the satisfaction that it wants to.

slow burn but wow that finale! good horror flick

Most of the talk will be about the unexpected ending, which takes a really dark--even in context of this film which has very little light to speak of anyway--turn, and I definitely agree that it's interesting. But I also think it's not done as well as it could have been. Most of it is fine, but there's one aspect of it that is cheesy. Anyway, the rest of the movie is fine. There's a building dread, but the father is so unlikable it's hard to care. The other characters deserve more empathy.

I had really low expectations while going into this, maybe mostly due to the poster that looked kind of cheap This turned out to be such a good and suspenseful movie, though, so I'm glad I took the chance and actually watched it. Good acting, scenes are set up well and there are some seriously gruesome moments to be had here, as well. I was really chilling with the moods at the very beginning of the movie, too, with the harsh but serene life in the wilderness.

Decent survival thriller to start and turns into something else. I don't like to spoil things, so the fact it becomes a diff type of film at the end is the spoilierest I'll get. Was pretty shocking since I avoided most reviews going in. Low budget and is glacially paced for a large chunk. This isn't always a negative, but did make it feel longer than it's 90 min runtime. 6.2

Very very intense last 60 seconds... Rest of the movie is a bit bland and underdeveloped. It was difficult to care about the family because their lifestyle does not resonate well with me. Also, wolves shouldn't be that scary (they say).

A little torn on this one. A slow build horror/thriller that gets shockingly graphic by the end. Be warned.

First 95% is a slow burning and grounded thriller that gets quite some mileage out of the (presumably) slim budget and simple setup. Final 5% is A grade schlock that doesn't really seem to fit the story but probably will be the one thing this film will be remembered for.

Original, patient and tense.

Great setup with a great payoff. Finale will stick with you.

"Hunt or be hunted". Joseph lives with his wife Anne and daughter Renée in the wilderness where they earn a living as trappers. They find it difficult to make ends meet because their work is, according to them, hindered by a wolf. While Joseph sets out to track down the predator, Anne and Renée grapple with his long absence. One day, Anne finds the injured Lou who was left for dead.

A family of brutes lives a brutal life and encounters brutality.

Hunter Hunter takes its time to show its hand. I found the first act a bit aimless, albeit intriguing. Then the film gets meaner and meaner. The ending is probably 2020's best horror.
