The Hunters Trailers

Alice and her friends are approaching the end of the school year where their dead-end lives will end and the chance of a new life will begin. Before heading off to college they spend one last day together in the woods, the one part of town that has always been off limits to them growing up. As they stumble upon what they thought was an abandoned fort only to find the walls dripping in blood and decompressing body parts lying around, they are startled to learn they are now a part of an undercover investigation. After being told to get out of the woods they realize they're trapped, for the Hunters, who call the fort home, never let anyone out alive.

That was an excellent one.

Sadly Over-hyped

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is a bizarre little movie. Not much given out in way of synopsis. Only the title. When it gets going its somewhere in Canada shot in moody tones. Something not right with people disappearing and the police are not investigating. Bit of mild horror. Could have done more with the stories. The pitch is there. Why are the hunting. Where are they hunting. Its a mystery. The back story could have done with fleshing out. Worth a second look as background noise. Diana Agron cameos. Confusing characters. The usual processes in movie making have been overlooked. So needs to be more coherent.

Not a complete waste of time, but as close to it as you can get. Horribly bad script, resulting in bad acting. Cinematography is great, as most say, but if the rest is crap ... what's the point? What really seriously annoyed me, is that about an hour in, lingo is French only, no subtitles. I can make out "You go left, and I go right." and "We go north" but that's about it. The main character is very poorly cast. Bad, bad acting. And if he's supposed to be a trained soldier, why can't he handle himself better in the situation he finds himself in? And why does he empty about an entire clip into a bloke who was dead after bullet Nr 3? Shouldn't he be sparing his ammo? He wouldn't exactly be walking around with his pockets filled with clips now, would he? Like many already said, sparks flying off trees is slightly silly to say the least.I don't really understand why Terence Knox and Tony Becker went for this movie, other than maybe they wanted to work together again and/or got a free trip to Europe out of it? Take my advice: Next time pay for your own holiday to Europe, grin. At least ya save yourself the bad critics and stuff.And why the heck mix up French and American in one movie? French people speaking English is just ... horrible! (Read with French accent for effect, please). It's like watching "Allo, allo", except then the bad French accents were funny.Also, some people mention there's romance in this movie. I must have dozed off?

I started watching it thinking "6.2 on IMDb ! its gotta be decent". I noticed the acting and production was bad but it was like watching a bad accident. I am sure they named it closely to the Willem Dafoe movie to trick viewers into watching it. It seemed like the producer thought "hey we have a spooky looking fort and a bunch of cheap spark effects.... lets make a movie!" Seriously ..sparks from shooting a tree was bad enough, but sparks coming off a person! I have seen porno's with better acting, story line and budget. That's all I really have to say about this movie, I really don't want to waste 10 lines of text on it because that would be putting more thought into the review than the producer put into the entire movie. I think I am going to work really hard around the house today to make up for the 2 hours that were totally blown watching this. i am sure the only good reviews will be from family and friends of the cast and crew. How it ranked at 4 stars amazes me.

I notice that another reviewer couldn't just give this film a 1 rating because he thought the director was trying to say something. I think he was trying to say "Hey, look! I'm a s**t director!" so I'll happily give it a 1.I have to write 10 lines of text in a review, so I can only expand on how awfully bad this movie is on every level. I really don't think the camera work was particularly good, but it might just scrape ahead of the acting. Oh, and the "plot" has so many holes in it it makes a sponge look like a lump of lead.I really hope I've made someone think twice before wasting a portion of their life to watch this abysmal failure. Can I get my money back, please?
