The Hunt

2020 ·1h 30m · ★ 6.6 (3,573)

Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don't know where they are—or how they got there. In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, ruthless elitists gather at a remote location to hunt humans for sport. But their master plan is about to be derailed when one of the hunted turns the tables on her pursuers.

Why it matters

A sardonic riff on class warfare wrapped in a survival thriller that’s more style and sass than sharp satire.

  • Betty Gilpin anchors the film with charismatic grit, turning the hunted-turned-hunter trope into a late-night cult highlight.
  • Blumhouse’s slick production values lean into glossy violence and practical gore beats that recall ‘90s action-horror hybrids.
  • The Hunt plays with political outrage and internet-fueled paranoia, though its satire often trips over its own agenda.
  • For fans of survival games and social commentary with a side of dark humor—expect uneven dialogue but some genuinely fun kills.
