Hunted

I almost didn't watch this, but I'm glad I did. It's like LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, but different....in a good way. I think the story picked up really fast and there was little to no build-up which was good. I think it is one of the most underrated films in the horror genre. I highly recommend you to watch it and if you liked LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, you will like this movie. The story line works, and the acting suits it well. If you're looking for a vampire movie that has a decent story that isn't too cliche or overdone, then check this movie out. It lasts two hours, but it seemed like it was 90 minutes or less which means it's a very suspenseful. Give it a GO!!

This movie does borrow from other movies including "Twilight" and "Let the Right One In," and even the stage musical, "Bat Boy," but it stands on its own feet well enough because of its strong direction and acting. It does move slowly, but it's not boring at all. The characters all have secrets which are slowly revealed as the mystery of who and what Rufus is slowly unfolds. The actor who plays Rufus is talented and makes interesting choices, so he really is the glue that holds this film together.

I guess some people would call their dog Rufus. But in this case we get something different (what? You have to watch to find out). Rufus has a really stellar cast with an interesting spin on a sort of known story. There is violence and there are relationships built that lead to an inevitable conclusion. A conclusion or a way the story goes, that is very predictable.

Still the movie is about the ride and about finding out and seeing those relationships evolve or develop. It's not easy to avoid the cliché trap, but the movie does so in some occasions. A person is not only one thing (the thing he/she appears to be), it's more complex than that ... and we get to see some of those sides here. A difficult task that the movie almost completely masters

I was expecting some B-rated cheesy flick but this was a soild movie. The acting was pretty good.

From the first scene until the last Rufus 'aka' Hunted is actually a really good movie. I wasn't sure what to expect as the Vampire genre has literally been bled to death, however this film does a great job of keeping your attention all the way through. The acting was spot on, and so was the story line. The music score wasn't too shabby either. The end of the movie was awesome as well. Just when you think it's going to move one way, it turns out to go in a direction you wouldn't expect.

Don't take my word for it though. Do yourself a favor, watch it for yourself. I'm glad I did, and it would be great to see more movies like this one from these very talented creators in the future. They nailed it with this one.
