British thriller, produced in 2022, with the main theme of manhunt. One of the most common topics. A group breaks into a house for theft and is caught. Then they become the prey of hunters. Although it is not such a high-quality, high-tension movie, it is watched. It is not difficult to predict who will survive, which hunter will die first, and other events within the film. In these, just like in Hollywood movies, jokes can be made 2 minutes later, even if there is a deceased sibling or relative. The ending was not what I expected.
All the characters are repulsive. The most innocent is the first to be sacrificed.
There is no sex or nudity in the movie.

Just a bit of harmless ridiculousness. This film fails in so many ways. Biggest problem is you don't care about any characters, you actually root for the aristocracy (the funniest thing in this piece) who are trying to bring back a bit of order in this blighted society of ours. Really enjoyed watching the bungling "burglars" get what they deserved. In better hands this might have been a bit more of a thriller but I just found it predictable a bit boring and completely unbelievable. One of your mates gets ripped to pieces by a pack of hounds and you get over it in seconds. The hunted show no trauma after seemingly experiencing the worst of horrors.
I thought I'd watch HOUNDED (2022) because the class subtext looked promising. It's a low budget British horror with a familiar plotline that reminded me of THE COLLECTOR and its ilk, about a quartet of thieves who break into a nice house only to find the tables turned on them by the owners. Before long the young 'uns find themselves pursued by a quarter of fox-hunting toffs with murder in mind...
This is one of those films that screams cheap throughout, with plenty of unconvincing moments and even a scene that openly rips off BREAKING BAD to poor effect. The most interesting part is the bad guys are played by familiar actors including Samantha Bond (Miss Moneypenny), James Faulkner (GAME OF THRONES), Nick Moran (a Guy Ritchie regular) and Larry Lamb (EASTENDERS). The gore is in short supply and the outdoor scenes strive for suspense but scream cliche instead.

Is this film a master piece? Its not far off.
I genuinely didn't know what i was walking into when I started watching this. Had they the budget this would have REALLY worked as a TV Short. If they had a bigger budget again I think the whole premise has a market.
The concept is quite basic, the acting from the lead hunt woman is high quality! There was just something missing and I feel this was in the establishment of relating to the hunted.
I wish we had more time exploring the characters and getting attached to them prior to the set up. The film did try and the cinematography and audio landscaping carried us flawlessly through the adventure.
Give it a watch! :)

I don't know why, can't explain the reasons, but I would have supposed that movie was directed by Ben Wheatley, some kind of social horror British film, rather offbeat, with a strange but daring topic. Yes, Ben Wheatley, at least at his early career. I recognize here the British touch, so subtle, surprising, quite different from the Hollywood standards. Yes, very interesting B Uk film. It uses the home invasion scheme, very popular since one decade now, even more, with the delightful social touch, I repeat, very suntle, using for instance characters from the suburbs, instead of hardcore criminals. They use characters in which many audiences, those to whom this film is mostly destined, can recognize themselves. Of course any moviegoer will recognize here the MOST DANGEROUS GAME inspiration. Rich against poor people, with a very unusual ending, that's the main positive point of this film. And as in any horror movie, you can admire and appreciate a "cosy" countryside landscape, British, the THE AVENGERS series from the sixties charm. France could do such a film, with the same topic. French countryside.... In the fifties, Roy Boulting made RUN FOR THE SUN, more or less the same topic; now Tommy Boulding makes also more or less the same topic too. It could have been set, and it has already been, in a desert area, in New Mexico state surrounding, with a small town, a rotten sheriff, a cattle baron fond of hunting....

- TriviaThe film title has an appropriate double meaning, the dictionary definition of to hound is to harass, persecute, or pursue relentlessly and in the movie they are literally hounded to death by fox hunting hounds.
- GoofsA young hunter on his first hunt is wearing hunting pink (the "red" coloured tunic). A junior hunter would always be wearing a black tunic until they became respected and senior enough to be granted the privilege of wearing "hunting pink".
