HUNTER HUNTER follows a family living in the remote wilderness earning a living as fur trappers. Joseph Mersault (Devon Sawa), his wife Anne (Camille Sullivan), and their daughter Renée (Summer H. Howell) struggle to make ends meet and think their traps are being hunted by the return of a rogue wolf. Determined to catch the predator in the act, Joseph leaves his family behind to track the wolf. Anne and Renée grow increasingly anxious during Joseph’s prolonged absence and struggle to survive without him. When they hear a strange noise outside their cabin, Anne hopes it is Joseph but instead finds a man named Lou (Nick Stahl), who has been severely injured and left for dead. The longer Lou stays and Joseph is away, the more paranoid Anne becomes, and the idea of a mysterious predator in the woods slowly becomes a threat much closer to home.

Critics Consensus

Bloody and brutal, Hunter Hunter is a hard-hitting survivalist thriller that ratchets its tension with precision.

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

When that needle drop ends, souls have been broken. That's what makes Hunter Hunter an extraordinary entry in the modern horror canon.

Rated: 4/5

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Though more meat is needed on its narrative bones, Shawn Linden's backwoods horror creepfest is a mean-spirited parable about finding out who the ultimate monster is - beast or man?

Rated: 2.5/4

FilmWeek (LAist)

It's a very spare slow-burn, and [writer-director] Sean Lindon achieves a lot here... I was impressed by this little movie.

Nightmarish Conjurings

Redefining the big bad wolf, this gut punch of a film is suspenseful, unnerving, and brutal.

Keith & the Movies

“Hunter Hunter” is a movie that quietly lures you in by building an interesting family dynamic worth investing in. The characters feel authentic which makes their tense and eventually frightening story resonate.

Rated: 4/5

An incredible edge of your seat. The music in the end really grabbed me. Pure definition of evil. A real close look on how we can dine in pain after we are traumatized. The acting and cinematography is extraordinary and this one kept me guessing.

Orlando C

Solid indie horror flick. Most of the positive reviews are spot on. I will just comment on one of the negative criticisms i've come across in the audience reviews that the movie stretches credibility in some of the actions the characters take, specifically *SPOILER ALERT* that the dad, once he comes across the serial killer's den, doesn't tell his family and promptly whisks them away to safety. That he doesn't do this, fits perfectly with the character's world view. First, he mentions that he doesn't want to get the local authorities involved when the wife asks him to help capture the wolf. He implies he doesn't want them in their business because they might interfere with their way of life. Second, he pointedly states he never finished school, implying that even if he's an expert woodsman, he's probably not that bright. Third, he also reveals he occasionally keeps things from her so she doesn't get upset. This point is driven home when she shows him the flyer for a house for sale in the city. Telling her about a den of dead women's bodies would only conflate her desire to get the hell out of their and leave the only way of life he's ever known.
