Directed by Craig Zobel, The Hunt begins when twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are or how they got there. They are unaware of the fact they are part of a hunt.
In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a group of globalist elites gathers at a remote Manor House to hunt humans for sport for the very first time. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of the hunted, Crystal, played by Betty Gilpin, the hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman, played by Hilary Swank, at the center of it all.
For a horror movie, The Hunt includes underlying humor with an intensity boiling to eruption.
Jason Blum is the producer, and of late, he has produced horror movie after movie. He is best known for the films Get Out and Halloween. Damon Lindelof is also a producer, and Nick Cuse wrote the mysterious social thriller. Craig Zobel is known for directing Z for Zachariah and The Leftovers.
The rest of the cast includes Ike Barinholtz and Emma Roberts.
Because the movie was politically not correct, in so many ways, Blumhouse pulled the film indefinitely, but it looks like it is back and coming at us full speed.
