Yes, and it's a movie based on a short story that has been adapted a number of times. And it's even mentioned in this page's trivia section.
The title is The Most Dangerous Game (1932) (filmed at the same time with the same filmmakers as King Kong (1933) also using Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong) and centers on an eccentric millionaire (Leslie Banks) who "lures" a famous big-game hunter (Joel McCrea) to his island, and proceeds to hunt the hunter.
The title refers to the fact that humans are the most dangerous game as they are also the most dangerous hunters: they do not hunt to survive, but to kill i.e. for sport.
This story has been remade into movies, TV show episodes including The Incredible Hulk (The Snare) and the original Hawaii 5-0 (Though the Heavens Fall).
Most people are familiar with the adaptation "Surviving The Game" starring Ice-T, Gary Busey and Rutger Hauer. Like that film, this movie, "The Hunt," centers on a group of eccentrics instead of just one.
Rob Zombie's "31" is another adaptation using an ensemble of hunters and hunted.
But "The Most Dangerous Game" has fallen into a sort of public domain, and few filmmakers credit the author of the original story, Richard Connell.

Crystal makes a wilderness compass to know where's north and south.
She takes the pin out of her nametag and rubs it against her hair to magnetize it and then she places the pin on a leaf and floats it in the lake beside her.
Other movies to use this compass technique include The Edge and Predators.
