It's not a high action or a texas chainsaw it's more of that deliverance feel to it, it keeps you interested and entertained enough and WOW what a great ending!! Lead actress steals the movie but everyone was excellent and it's a great film. Will definitely watch again!!
I don't normally bother to comment on a film that already has loads of reviews but am prompted to do so for this one. A really gripping watch.
There are all sorts of predators in the forest of this here film, ranging from a family of trappers to an increasing emboldened wolf to something much, much worse.
An intense and dread inducing 80 min. of quality slow-burn ultimately give way to a catherdic showstopper of an ending that pure grand-guignol grotesquely. A fantastic little cold-blooded indie film to cap of 2020.
My top three list of films for the year now goes like this.
1. Possessor 2. The Dark and the Wicked 3. Hunter Hunter
If you liked the aforementioned titles, I'm positive you'll love Hunter Hunter.
Hope you enjoy it.

The story line sounded great and I thought I would give it a chance. It had me guessing the entire time of WTH is going on. I have seen a LOT of movies and the ending... just WOW , I never expected that and it was great!!!!!!!!!
A family struggle to survive as trappers in remote woodland, but after discovering traces of a predator they become the prey ...
Movies about isolation can be a real drag, but this is well paced and produced. The cinematography and editing relieve the monotony of endless pine trees, and the music and eerie forest sounds keep up the tension.
Performances are good, with a tense family dynamic revolving around a taciturn Rugged Individual of a father, but that's not what the story explores. Instead it ends up a brutal reflection on solitude, when people are left to their own devices without the support of others, from scraping by in an increasingly pointless tradition to indulging humanity's sickest urges.
The climax involves merciless punishment - to the point of pornographic voyeurism. At best, this is a bleak picture of how bad it gets when depravity is offered no resistance; at worst, no better than a snuff movie.
Overall: Well made survivalist tale, but whichever way you take it the implications are unpleasant.

- TriviaSummer H. Howell's character was a 8-year-old boy in a script but the director Shawn Linden swapped the gender and changed the age after Summer got this part.
- GoofsThe lever action rifle that the girl and her mother used that was referred to repeatedly as being .22 caliber is actually a large caliber rifle and not a .22. Lever action .22 caliber rifles do not load through a side loading gate, are much smaller than the rifle in question and simply looking at the large bore at the end of the barrel makes it clear that it's a large caliber rifle.
