1) If you wanna enjoy this movie, lower your expectations, this is not a 10/10, 9/10, neither a MUST SEE movie. I wouldn't call it hilarious, even though there are some scenes that i laughed hard, and, definitely, this is not scary, gory or intense.
2) However, it's funny and enjoyable. Maybe younger people will enjoy it more. I am not young, still i enjoyed it. Characters are very likeable, music is good, this movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and if you are in the mood for a movie like this, you will have fun watching it. Don't expect a comedy-horror movie, it's more farcical than horror. Young actors did a fine job.
3) The ending is great. In fact, as the movie progressed, it was getting funnier and funnier. I would definitely watch a sequel.

Being Scottish, this movie definately resonated with me. Dodgy spiked weed, a hugely divisive social class system, and magic mushrooms - we got it all! Its part of that genre of movies Surviving The Game belonged to. Its a genre with a number of recent examples, this one being my favourite. It really feels like a Scottish movie. Reminds me a bit of Bad Taste or The Wicker Man (original title), those homegrown genre movies made with a vibe of the local people producing them, rather than a big budget hollywood group coming in and trying to do it for them. DJ Beetroot was a highlight; so may disinfranchised young asian lads aspiring towards rap in the city of Edinburgh these days, that really struck a cord. The take on the mushroom trip was funny and kinda accurate, as far as I remember from taking them as a young lad. Its a rite of passage, part of being Scottish. The ending also really worked for me, all round a great wee movie, its very funny.
As a purveyor of underscrutinized horror films, I really enjoyed this title. I would not necessarily categorize it as a Thriller, which is how I found it, but more like a gruesome comedy. Nevertheless, the fast pace and inane situations made for a fun hour and a half. Definitely worth a watch.
If you are the type who likes their storylines to be well buttoned up and make a lot of sense, this won't, but overall that just made it more hilarious in the end.

This film was the opening gala for the Edinburgh Film Festival and definitely deserved the accolade. Quirky and experimental it has many laugh out loud moments in a truly original spin on the old story of city boys surviving in the wild.The director and writer Ninian Doff has a rare original talent and is definitely someone to watch. You can see his music video influences throughout the film giving it a fresh and pacey vibe. A very talented British cast make the most of the heddy mix of horror and outrageous comedy with Kate Dickie and James Cosmo standouts along with the 4 newcomers playing the boys. Surreal and wild this film has an energy that will make you feel you are on a drug induced high. Highly recommended.
From its very provenance, "Get Duked" knows where its strengths lie. A horror comedy at its core; representing an unconventional filmmaking. A supercharged, unorthodox ride that's not meant for everyone.
An endearing adventure comprising a bunch of erratic teenagers & some elderly lunatics looking around to 'Hunt'. Trust me; It gets as interesting as it sounds!
Filmed around the Scottish borders, entirely in a mountain region; the backdrop was absolutely gorgeous. Deluged with vibrancy; every shot admittedly looked picturesque. An arresting set of imagery coupled with Hip-hop heavy soundtrack that did compliment its funky & quite bizarre style of editing.
A set of fair enough performances, devoid of any requisite character establishments. Half baked humour, occassionally shining through! Though looking at the type of film it is; that would suffice. The storyline might not be the strongest suit here, but the execution must be lauded for the absurdities it so impassionedly personifies!
