A group of globalist elites hunt humans for sport in this Blumhouse horror starring Betty Gilpin, Ike Barinholtz, Emma Roberts and Oscar winner Hilary Swank.
Twelve strangers awake in clearing with no memory of how or why are they are there, but it's not long before they realise that they are being hunted down. One of the hunted (Gilpin) manages to turn the tables on their pursuers and attempts to make her way to the mysterious woman behind it all (Swank).
The film's September 2019 release was shelved in the wake of the deadly Dayton and El Paso mass shootings in August and criticism from Donald Trump.

"The Hunt is fun, frothy and yet rooted in our wounded world. And if that's not enough to persuade you - Donald Trump hates it."

The Times
The Times"What I think this intelligent, violent movie is saying is that both stories are wrong because in races where it's us (or US) versus them there can be no winner."

The Australian
The Australian"All this hubbub, and for what."
—
Little White Lies
Little White Lies""The Hunt" lacks the courage of its presumed convictions, displaying no more than a determination to make as much cash as possible by exploiting national divisions less covetous individuals are despairing of rather than monetising."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Anger is the source of its humor and its horror, both of which are fairly effective."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times""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."
—
Variety
Variety"In making the worst stereotypes of America's political poles as extreme as possible, and America's divide as literal and violent as possible, The Hunt feigns a viewpoint rather than actually having one."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"[An] exceedingly violent, conspiratorially charged and guiltily engaging action melodrama..."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"How entertaining you think it is depends on how funny you find your Twitter feed: the 2020 version, not when it was all Pikachu and 'Hotline Bling' memes."
