Movie Info

HUNTER HUNTER follows a family living in the remote wilderness earning a living as fur trappers. Joseph Mersault (Devon Sawa), his wife Anne (Camille Sullivan), and their daughter Renée (Summer H. Howell) struggle to make ends meet and think their traps are being hunted by the return of a rogue wolf. Determined to catch the predator in the act, Joseph leaves his family behind to track the wolf. Anne and Renée grow increasingly anxious during Joseph’s prolonged absence and struggle to survive without him. When they hear a strange noise outside their cabin, Anne hopes it is Joseph but instead finds a man named Lou (Nick Stahl), who has been severely injured and left for dead. The longer Lou stays and Joseph is away, the more paranoid Anne becomes, and the idea of a mysterious predator in the woods slowly becomes a threat much closer to home.

Critic Reviews for Hunter Hunter

All Critics (48) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (45) | Rotten (3)

  • When that needle drop ends, souls have been broken. That's what makes Hunter Hunter an extraordinary entry in the modern horror canon.

    January 4, 2021 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

    Richard Whittaker

    Austin Chronicle

  • Though more meat is needed on its narrative bones, Shawn Linden's backwoods horror creepfest is a mean-spirited parable about finding out who the ultimate monster is - beast or man?

    December 31, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Randy Myers

    San Jose Mercury News

  • It's a very spare slow-burn, and [writer-director] Sean Lindon achieves a lot here... I was impressed by this little movie.

    Christy Lemire

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • It's just so disturbing, everything that goes down in this movie. This is a horror film. No matter what it looks like, this is a horror movie.

    Tim Cogshell

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • This corpse-littered movie grins its bloodied teeth in a final shot that's sickly over-the-top and as hard to shake as a rusty bear trap gnashing on an ankle.

  • I like cheap exploitation as much as the next guy, but not when it tries to disguise itself with transparently insincere humanist indie trappings.
