Wolf Hunter

Hadn't heard of this movie until tonight but so glad I watched it. I'd like to argue some of the negatives posted by others but I won't spoil the plot. All I will say is the title is your answer - the two male protaganists had history which explains all the "why didn't he..." criticisms. I hope that is cryptic enough to not mean I need enable a spoiler alert. This starts slow but stick with it, it is atmospheric, the music - especially the drumming - is wonderful. The acting is perfect, the scenery gorgeous and even the sounds accompanying the end credits keep the whole feel going. I love films that are "out there" and just keep surprising you. This movie is brilliant, one of the best I have seen this year.

It's not a high action or a texas chainsaw it's more of that deliverance feel to it, it keeps you interested and entertained enough and WOW what a great ending!! Lead actress steals the movie but everyone was excellent and it's a great film. Will definitely watch again!!

There are all sorts of predators in the forest of this here film, ranging from a family of trappers to an increasing emboldened wolf to something much, much worse.

An intense and dread inducing 80 min. of quality slow-burn ultimately give way to a catherdic showstopper of an ending that pure grand-guignol grotesquely. A fantastic little cold-blooded indie film to cap of 2020.

My top three list of films for the year now goes like this.

1. Possessor 2. The Dark and the Wicked 3. Hunter Hunter

If you liked the aforementioned titles, I'm positive you'll love Hunter Hunter.

Hope you enjoy it.

A family is living far off the grid (not trapped) in a cabin. It's the life Dad wants, but mom may not be all in anymore and complains their teenaged daughter was never even given the choice on how or where to live.

Dad believes his family is being stalked by a rogue and dangerous wolf. True, but there's something else even more terrifying and dangerous out there, as well.

You'll have to watch the rest unfold. No spoilers.

It's full of peril that will make you squirm, that's for sure. It's dark and grim, but ultimately the ending is righteous.

Definitely worth a watch. *Not for the faint of heart.

A family struggle to survive as trappers in remote woodland, but after discovering traces of a predator they become the prey ...

Movies about isolation can be a real drag, but this is well paced and produced. The cinematography and editing relieve the monotony of endless pine trees, and the music and eerie forest sounds keep up the tension.

Performances are good, with a tense family dynamic revolving around a taciturn Rugged Individual of a father, but that's not what the story explores. Instead it ends up a brutal reflection on solitude, when people are left to their own devices without the support of others, from scraping by in an increasingly pointless tradition to indulging humanity's sickest urges.

The climax involves merciless punishment - to the point of pornographic voyeurism. At best, this is a bleak picture of how bad it gets when depravity is offered no resistance; at worst, no better than a snuff movie.

Overall: Well made survivalist tale, but whichever way you take it the implications are unpleasant.
