Hunted

If you enjoy vampire type movies this is worth your time . The story, acting and music are all good . Several people who are not vampire fans enjoyed this film . It's not for those who like mindless blood splatter movies , Give it a try . You might get a pleasant surprise .

This movie does borrow from other movies including "Twilight" and "Let the Right One In," and even the stage musical, "Bat Boy," but it stands on its own feet well enough because of its strong direction and acting. It does move slowly, but it's not boring at all. The characters all have secrets which are slowly revealed as the mystery of who and what Rufus is slowly unfolds. The actor who plays Rufus is talented and makes interesting choices, so he really is the glue that holds this film together.

I guess some people would call their dog Rufus. But in this case we get something different (what? You have to watch to find out). Rufus has a really stellar cast with an interesting spin on a sort of known story. There is violence and there are relationships built that lead to an inevitable conclusion. A conclusion or a way the story goes, that is very predictable.

Still the movie is about the ride and about finding out and seeing those relationships evolve or develop. It's not easy to avoid the cliché trap, but the movie does so in some occasions. A person is not only one thing (the thing he/she appears to be), it's more complex than that ... and we get to see some of those sides here. A difficult task that the movie almost completely masters

From the first scene until the last Rufus 'aka' Hunted is actually a really good movie. I wasn't sure what to expect as the Vampire genre has literally been bled to death, however this film does a great job of keeping your attention all the way through. The acting was spot on, and so was the story line. The music score wasn't too shabby either. The end of the movie was awesome as well. Just when you think it's going to move one way, it turns out to go in a direction you wouldn't expect.

Don't take my word for it though. Do yourself a favor, watch it for yourself. I'm glad I did, and it would be great to see more movies like this one from these very talented creators in the future. They nailed it with this one.

...without the emo songs. It sounded like they were trying to sell a soundtrack. They were too distracting and took me right out of the movie.
