Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

JoeB131 Despite the American sounding actors, this movie was made in Europe, and it shows. I think this is supposed to have been set in either Canada or the US (they never make it clear) but the dialog is kind of confused, as though someone didn't quite check their translations. That and they think America is Murder-Land.The plot is that a foursome of hunters are using an abandoned fort as a spot to take out their frustrations on the world by hunting other people. I should point out that the setting of the Fort was probably the best thing about the movie, the place truly is creepy and a bit disturbing. Compared to the rest of the film, which is a disjointed mess.Meanwhile, a cop who has just returned from Afghanistan disobeys his clearly unbalanced chief's orders meets up with an informant at said Fort. Unbeknownst to him, the Chief is on the whole, "Murder people for fun" gag and has been covering up the missing person reports.The ending was truly the sign that this was not made by Americans, because the whole notion of dramatic tension that even a first year film student learns is lost on these guys.

byolaf The Hunters isn't the worst movie you've ever seen, it's just a bit of a mess. There are two things to recommend it highly, the cinematography is well above par for this kind of movie, and the location is just incredible. I think the sound editing and music is also quite good. The problem is the good things just serve to highlight the not-so-good things. If the good cinematography is of people trying way too hard to act, it's not interesting. If the location is terrific, but it's not really used all that well, you don't have much of a reason to make the film.There is some excellent casting for the leading hunters and the main enemy, but the other characters are often miscast, overplayed, or underwritten. Certain scenes feel improvised, while others just seem to go on and on. The lead actor seems to be rather miscast for his role, which is strange since he apparently directed. There are also characters that just kinda drop in and out of the movie, especially the lead (only?) female.The editor seems to be trying to make this into a horror movie, but it's not, and the nasty jump cuts and random shots of some dude yelling are not scary, they're annoying. The editing overall leaves a lot to be desired, leading me to wonder if the director cut the movie as well, since there's no editor listed in the IMDb crew page.There was a pretty good movie to be had here had the script thought of better uses for the location and the actors been reeled in by a better director. But overall, it's better than bad, and if you're scouting for an incredible castle in Germany (?) you could do worse than watch this. Perhaps it's best to just think of it as a weird travelogue to Fort Goben.

Billy_Crash This tale is so convoluted and nonsensical I can't imagine how this ever got green lit for production. Poorly written by Michael Lehman, with some questionable acting (especially from Terence Knox and Philip Correia), one can only wonder why Chris Briant, who directed and starred, didn't demand a better narrative. Either performing both duties overwhelmed Briant, or his ego exploded. Either way, knowing this was his first film for both acting and directing, the clunky storytelling may make some sense. Worst still, though one may think the editing was poor, I'm sure editor Nafi Dicko cried over this mess of story and did his best with the pitiful material he received. The ½ star, however, goes to cinematographer John B. Aronson who has given us one of the best looking worst movies ever seen, and to Steven Waddington and Tony Becker for bringing us grounded characters even in a pathetic lost cause. Sadly, what could have been a tremendous character study for both their on-screen personas, which would have provided a truly disturbing and sobering tale, was completely lost.Why Lehman introduced a third rate police angle into the mix, and a horrendously trite and overly clichéd reveal, is beyond comprehension.I rarely say this, but because THE HUNTERS is so poorly crafted, I recommend avoiding this mess at all costs – so you won't fall prey to giving the producers one thin dime (or euro in this case).

stephaniegrazielle772 the cast is unknown, we don't know where it happens, the main location is freaky, the score is A- rank. The Hunters is a movie full of surprises, an unexpected journey in hell. I think the pace is risky because you keep wondering "what the f... is going on " through the first 30 minutes. Some will hate it. Some will love. My opinion is this slow start makes this movie so special. Who is the main character? Who is really in danger, who's gonna die... If you don't get deeply into this world, in the characters psychology , then the movie makes no sense. This would give what the crappy trailer sold to the audience. A brainless teen movie. If some people don't like this approach, then there's nothing we can do about them!The Hunters is not a teen movie. It's a very very special horror-mystery-thriller, it's unlike anything I've seen before. Of course there's plenty of mistakes. Some actors don't deliver the same intensity than Waddington, Briant, Becker and Brown. Some prosthetics effects are tricky and the director could have been more visual for certain sequences. The use of 1.85 format is obviously a wrong choice for filming such a place. There's not enough general shots. I think the director suffers from a lack of confidence in his choices. Sometime you would expect him to go further than a simple angle/reverse angle scene. But nothing serious. I think this is a promising first film and because it kept me breathless from the beginning to the end I'll give a 9 out of 10. I think this is worth it to discover it.
