Critic Reviews

William Bibbiani

Mar 11, 2020

Zobel’s film grapples directly with the political spectrum and uses everything we love and hate about each other as fodder for humor and horror. Read full review

Scott Collura

Mar 11, 2020

Director Zobel and writers Lindelof and Cuse, peering through the lens of social media hijinks and polarized politics, paint a ridiculous picture of how we’re all eating ourselves alive. That they do so in such a fun and absurdly bloody way makes The Hunt worth a retweet at the very least. Read full review

Peter Debruge

The Hunt turns out to be a good deal smarter — and no more extreme — than most studio horror films, while its political angle at least encourages debate, suggesting that there’s more to this hot potato than mere provocation. Read full review

Chris Evangelista

It’s a film that feels like it was designed to rile everyone up, but it ultimately has nothing to say about anything. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Mar 11, 2020

A thinly sketched out, wildly violent satire, one that rather cynically uses the current backdrop of partisan tribalism as the hook for an old-time exploitation piece. Read full review

Phil de Semlyen

Mar 11, 2020

It starts strongly, with the gory deaths coming thick, fast and often unexpectedly, and Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse’s script giving the viewer no purchase on the unfolding mayhem. The underrated Gilpin is a steely, lib-owning presence, too. But the surprises soon dry up. Read full review

There simply aren’t enough synonyms for “loathsome” to do the new movie The Hunt justice. Perhaps if we expand into other languages. C’est détestable! È ripugnante! Read full review

This movie was exactly what I was hoping for. Very entertaining. The acting was not bad and the story did not disappoint.

Фильм очень поучительный. Он объясняет что защищать себя и свою собственность главный закон природы и права и обязанность гражданина. И что каждый должен защищать себя если на него нападают. Зуб за зуб. Глаз за глаз.Фильм очень поучительный. Он объясняет что защищать себя и свою собственность главный закон природы и права и обязанность гражданина.

Sinopsis:

La historia sigue a un grupo de personas que son perseguidos y cazados uno por uno por un grupo de ricos de élite por deporte, por simple diversión.

Opinión:

Esta película me tomó por sorpresa y resultó ser muy buena y llena de suspicacia.

La trama va mucho más allá de la simplista sinopsis siendo una sátira sobre las supuestas élites de alto rango llevándolo hacia un frenético viaje que no se detiene ante nada.

El guión es bastante interesante y sorprendente, realmente no es para nada predecible y las vueltas de tuerca que ofrecen al espectador lo hacen aún mejor con un clímax cargado de intensidad, diversión, ironía y cinismo pese a la falta de originalidad que posee.

Sin dudas una buena película para distraerse en estos tiempos difíciles, no verán la película de sus vidas, pero de que los va a distraer de todo y pasar un buen rato es totalmente seguro.

Valoración:

4.5 ⭐ de 5 ⭐… Expand

Filled with over the top violence and splashes of comedy. It's not divisive and it's not choosing political sides. If it has any message at all, it's really "don't be an **** Lots of violence, some substance. 6 out of 10

I couldn't get past the "global warming is real" insult around the 10-15 minute mark, and this is coming from a Trump supporter. This movie is way too on the nose for my tastes, and I wasn't ready going in that this would be a B-Movie gore fest. I'll give it another attempt later, its justI couldn't get past the "global warming is real" insult around the 10-15 minute mark, and this is coming from a Trump supporter. This movie is way too on the nose for my tastes, and I wasn't ready going in that this would be a B-Movie gore fest. I'll give it another attempt later, its just that my dad was trying to compare this film to recent events going on and I'm looking at him like "bruh, I know CHAZ was a joke, but c'mon..."

If you're interested in "Crappy Politics on Twitter: the Movie", then you'll probably have a blast watching this. Its really funny and the closest depiction of what an internet flame war would look like when taken to its logical extreme, lol… Expand

This movie was very educational and I'd like to pass along what I've learned to other readers: Anything that features Emma Roberts is guaranteed to be absolute crap. Remember this. Thank you.
