The 7th Hunt

The constant need to make SAW type films, or supernatural and horror films is just mind-boggling. Indie films in Australia need to wake up and stop making poor intimation. It's hard making a film and efforts to all who made it but there is no excuse for poor character development, poor storytelling and extremely bad casting. This was so bad I saw someone walk out of the screening and never came back. I want everyone to succeed but we need need to stop making bad films. This is so cringy its so embarrassing. I actually feel bad for the cast and crew. It's hard to watch this film, it has nothing going for it at all except the looks of Imogen Bailey. Sorry I honestly tried to support this film but please dont waste your time. Films need strong compelling story and characters, they must be interesting and they must have emotion. Even for a saw style film, you must have some sort of emotion, likability of the main character. 1 star for effort.

You can read my reviews to find the MOST awful. This film was actually watchable in comparison, as long as you're heavily tranquilized.

Firstly I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to the reviewer 'collegefilmreview' (nice try). So this was your first review right? It appears that even though you had time to watch this film twice, you have never had time to write another review.

You must remember Collegefilmreview, that most people do have more than 6 braincells and can see through the audacity of a production member writing a review praising a film of this measly caliber so highly.

In fact it's obvious which person wrote it - the HACKER (Darren Hawkins) - I mean come on.. college chicks begging for a Hawkins fan club? it's just ridiculous...

Anyway, back to the film... AWFUL. no plot, bad acting, bad dubbing, bad sound, bad lighting and camera work. It's not even Funny-Awful as people like in these kind of films.. it's Tiring-Awful, which is the worst kind of Awful. If you like Tiring-Awful then this is the film for you.

So I'm only 30 minutes into this film whilst writing the review... As an Australian I feel a duty to apologise to the world for this film.

In terms of a horror/gore/terror movie the concept is promising for a low budget movie. The production quality is reasonably good but Wolf Creek it ain't, SAW it ain't... The 'acting' is beyond appalling... It's barely at the level of a bad high school play.

Ultimately... very disappointing and tossing up whether to keep watching it or go and do some laundry...

A worthwhile horror/thriller that is more complex than just a killer knocking off victims for no discernible reason, too many low budget horror films lack a solid reason more than just wrong place, wrong time.

The story is more psychological than just cold blooded murder, and the victims are not innocent victims being slaughtered, each one has been studied and found lacking in some way.

The killers have a method to their killing and seem chillingly convinced of their own rightness in what they do. There was gore, but the best thing is that it wasn't over done.

The blood-letting was used effectively. I thought the whole ride was pretty entertaining.

For a low budget film, this one really packs a punch. There is enough blood to make the audience feel the character's pain. This film is dark and moody, with a concept that is truly disturbing. What happens in this film makes it a psychological thriller that will stay with you. The characters all have motivations for what they are doing, and the victims are a bunch of unique people. They all act as you would expect in this situation, which helps the audience empathise with them, feel their pain and frustration. The film plays out with twists and turns that are both believable and unexpected. Despite a slow pace at the start, the film picks up speed once the violence begins. This makes for a buildup of tension that drives the story to its conclusion. A brutal exposition of what people are capable of doing to other people.
