Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

mehmet aslan I tried to watch this thing because I love horror movies even when it is based on real events I can't wait to watch a movie. But this one is a real disappointment for me.acting, pacing everything sucks in this thing,it is a thing not a film for sure..I watched it my finger on fast forward button waiting to see something happens but guess what the thing finished but I was still waiting. it is so slow and boring yeah there is Blair witch but it is somehow keeps you on the line but this one makes you bored from the very beginning till the end. The man with the bow even can't make you watch him because when he talks you feel that he is acting. don't let the info that it is based on real events..you never miss anything it is just waste of time.

andersdamkjaer I watched this movie yesterday, alone at night, and it was incredible! It's been a long time since I have watched such a great "found footage-movie".The main characters are the best choice for this movie, because they are really good actors, and one of them looks and sounds like Rick from The Walking Dead ;) (Just a plus)The tension build-up is perfect, with the screams and the silent old-school orchestra music.If you enjoyed The Blairwitch Project, you're going to enjoy this movie even more!It is very rare for me to give a movie a 10 in vote, but this one deserves it. Here comes some spoilers:As it might have concerned many of you; no you never get to see the actual ghost or monster (don't wanna spoil which one it is), but that doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong, usually I dislike most of the horror movies where you never get to see the ghost/monster/killer, but not this one. Actually, for this movie, it is a plus that you don't get to see it, because the "sounds" are enough. But I don't wanna explain more about this, it will just ruin it for you.Pros:LocationActingActorslightAtmosphere ...Cons:THERE ARE NON!You should really go watch it! You will not be disappointed!

d b This movie can be summed up with the above line which Josh Stewart says himself in the movie - something to the extent of "I can't believe how slow it is". How meta.Anyway, I had high expectations from Arkin of The Collector, especially considering how this is billed as "from the producers of the collection/collector". I quite liked both of those, despite their high level of implausibility, however, Arkin's directorial debut could not be less like either of those films. Basically The Hunted has two guys that go out into the woods to film a hunting documentary and...that's it. That's seriously 99% of the movie, the other 1% being comprised of random shrieking in the woods (sadly, the characters interact with the shrieking thing for a whopping 1-2 minutes max out). Nothing substantial ever happens, and any moments of suspense (where the ominous music starts to play...even though it's supposed to be found footage...) end all too quickly without any actual punch. There are SO MANY spots where they could have utilized this suspense brilliantly, but they drop the ball every time. I guess this is like Paranormal Activity in the woods except that even less happens, if that is actually possible - perhaps more like it wants to be Blair Witch, except 14 years too late. It's a real shame too because everything about this movie had potential. The film/camera work/"found footage" style and sound are good; the acting, while mediocre at best, was passable for this type of movie; and the setting & concept were solid.There really isn't much else to say because NOTHING happens. Avoid unless you like really slow, soporific movies that show and explain nothing, or half baked hunting documentaries.

theflixerdotcom The Hunted was director/actor/writer Josh Stewart's first film project I believe, and I thought it was pretty well done! This was a solid found footage suspense/horror movie in the vein of The Blair Witch Project. Very much in the vein in fact.Let me start off with what I didn't like.First, and this is a fairly minor gripe, was the fact there was music added to build suspense. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately in this case it's supposed to be a found footage film so it seemed very out of place and actually distracted me to the point I exclaimed "Where is this music coming from!?".Second, I found too many similarities to The Blair Witch Project. I don't mean similarities as in they are both found footage films, but similarities as in some scenes and scenarios seemed very very close. I appreciate the fact it appears he is trying to honour that film, but there is a fine line there. It's very clear this was his influence.Finally, it was a little to formulatic. I think Josh was trying to play it safe and stuck to a tried and true found footage formula. Not a huge deal but I would have been excited to see something a little different. This whole movie felt a little bit like I had watched it before.Now the good. I loved the premise, two hunters alone in the woods when things start to go awry. The reasons for being out there make total sense, and it also makes sense why they would continue to push forward even with the strange goings on. They are trying to film a hunting show and need to get the footage of the hunt completed in order to secure their TV deal. Everything is on the line for them.The acting was very good; both Josh and Skipp do a great job with their characters. You can tell this is something they were very excited about doing and their heart's were into it. It felt very natural and they were believable.I enjoyed the story, it was very well written and very well done on what was obviously a very teeny tiny budget. I watched Willow Creek a couple of weeks ago and felt this was a far superior found footage film.Even with the small problems, this is one of the better found footage films I've seen in a little while. Perhaps the fact that it was heavily influenced by what I consider the original found footage film was a smart move, and not a negative after all. I enjoyed it, and hope to see more work from Josh Stewart in this genre in the future. A great first effort!
