Liberal snooty types lashing out at conservative cronies and their right-wing leanings should have made for some enjoyably edgy satire, but 'The Hunt' is merely a by-the-numbers comedy-horror-suspense thriller that has a few punchy moments. But, if production company Blumhouse wants to remake a bunch of 90s Jean-Claude Van Damme action mo...

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com In case you don't know, I'm from Portugal. Why does this matter? Well, The Hunt was delayed after a massive shooting in the USA, and since the movies' themes are extremely sensitive, the producers decided to postpone the film. At the time,...

> Review From **_Horror Focus_** Gaining its momentum back in mid 2019, The Hunt stirred up quite a bit of controversy prior to its initial release, branding it too brutal for release due to the mass shootings in Ohio, Texas last summer. This Blumhouse picture was later rescheduled, and was at one point never to see the light of day, w...

Irony of ironies that this movie's release got pulled due to Trump's shitfit despite never having seen it, when a not insubstantial part of _The Hunt_ is about the left's propensity for sparking outrage without having the whole story. The reality is, the nothing _The Hunt_ has to say is worth being outraged over. Betty Gilpin's great in i...

It was... fine. Nothing really to write home about, but some decent kills and gore, plus true subverting expectations with the cast of characters killed off early on. Kind of peters out towards the end but overall it's worth a rental but one could wait until it's available for free as part of a streaming service. **3.5/5**

I knew this film was going to be something different but I didn’t read anything about the film before I started watching it. And this is my absolute recommendation to anybody who is thinking of watching this film. Don’t read anything about it. Just watch it. It is different, obscure, unusual, political, weird and overall awesome! Would...

Fantastic watch, will watch again, and do recommend. This is one of the best, if weirdly refreshing movies I've seen in quite some time. I'm a sucker for a good survival movie, and this is an "elites hunt people for sport" trope mixed with a good mystery plot if there ever was one. The story structure alone is worth the watch as it e...

**_Satirical look at Left and Right in a “Most Dangerous Game” setting_** Several non-Liberal people wake up in the middle of nowhere, possibly Arkansas, to discover they’re being hunted by cutthroat Leftwing radicals. "The Hunt" (2020) takes the basic-Zaroff scenario of "Open Season" (1974) and "The Hunger Games" (2012) and applie...
