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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 4, 2021

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?

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 31, 2020

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

It's just so disturbing, everything that goes down in this movie. This is a horror film. No matter what it looks like, this is a horror movie.

This corpse-littered movie grins its bloodied teeth in a final shot that's sickly over-the-top and as hard to shake as a rusty bear trap gnashing on an ankle.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 18, 2020

I like cheap exploitation as much as the next guy, but not when it tries to disguise itself with transparently insincere humanist indie trappings.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 18, 2020

It's a jarring journey, filled with twists that snap and sting like bear traps, and an endurance test, too, especially for the squeamish.

| Original Score: B | Dec 18, 2020

But even as it goes way over the top, "Hunter Hunter" stays focused on the fragility of the Mersaults, who want to live by their own rules but discover that nature has its own agenda.

| Dec 18, 2020

Delivers a cinematic gut punch at the conclusion.

| Dec 17, 2020

Within the familiar survival thriller setup lies a film unafraid to get savage, delivering one of the most hardcore endings in recent memory. It's that grim.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 15, 2020

Writer-director Shawn Linden skillfully draws us into the narrative before springing a series of startling traps—of both the narrative and literal variety.
