The Hunt Reviews

Progressive Hunger Games, some good action moments and jokes for a film that feels written by AI. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 4, 2023

The Hunt is a brilliantly dark satire on today’s political views of the world. It’s meant to be one of the most divisive films of the last few years, and it undoubtedly succeeds in its mission. Like dark humor, either you’re okay with it, or you’re not.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 24, 2023

The Hunt is a movie at odds with itself. It wants to shed light on urgent social matters the writers think are worth discussing. Yet, bizarrely, the political slant here doesn't go the way anyone was expecting.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 20, 2023

Betty Gilpin is spectacular... [Full review in Spanish]

I really enjoyed watching The Hunt and I’m grateful that the film was actually released. I understand the worries that people had, but most of the talk surrounding this film that got it canceled was a bit excessive.

There is definitely a cutting satire to be made here... yet the film ends up taking potshots at so many subjects that it just ends up missing its targets. Rather than an impressive trophy kill, the end result is a disappointing flesh wound

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 11, 2022

Craig Zobel’s The Hunt purports to be a satire, but I am unconvinced its makers know precisely what they are satirising.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 7, 2022

The Hunt is a clever, gory good time. In a perverse way, it’s about unity and coming together.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 27, 2022

The idea at the core of “The Hunt” is a worthy one. We could certainly use a clear-eyed reminder of how toxic and sectarian our political discourse has become. I’m just not sure this is the movie to do it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 21, 2022

By skewering everyone, deserving or not, the film skewers no one. If you’re going to make a satire promising to anger everyone, you should come with a more insightful script.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 20, 2022

The Hunt offers two or three sequences that genuinely impress but too few surprises to extend its novelty for the entire 89-minute runtime.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 21, 2022

despite lofty ambitions, The Hunt is too keen to be embraced by the widest possible audience to land any killer blows to anyone

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 15, 2022

Betty Gilpin does such a fantastic job in The Hunt. We don't know a lot about her character (and there is a reason for that). She doesn't speak a lot, but when she does, she will surprise you.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 11, 2022

People relying solely on the trailers or the outraged articles have only a surface-level of the movie. But the movie's not that deep, either.

| Nov 16, 2021

The film is a series of reactions, overreactions and overreactions to overreactions, and never rises above the milieu, as if not a single component of American culture is worth salvaging.

| Jul 27, 2021

While the purpose of the film might be lost, the humor and action is easily found. There is a lot of fun to be had with these idiotic characters (on both sides) and the gruesome, sometimes, shocking deaths they experience.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 23, 2021

The film is definitely political. However, it's not quite as black-and-white as pundits want you to believe. Ultimately, I don't think it matters where you fall on the political spectrum; The Hunt is a fun flick.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 5, 2021

The Hunt is nothing more than a live-action cartoon where [all characters] are painted in such broad strokes that it's impossible to mistake it for anything resembling substantive.

| Jun 5, 2021

Action and gore revel in blood-soaked splendour...triumphs...thanks to a sharply constructed premise that offers a piercing assessment on the American political divide.

| Original Score: 15/20 | Apr 1, 2021

THE HUNT is a comedy (with horror elements)... It's a satire, but a satire that you might not be all that comfortable with.
