Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

olov_svedjeland You will stay along for the entire duration of this film if you don't mind anxious and gory/graphic content. The film shows group mentality and behavior without hesitation. I heard about the film when a youtuber showed a 3 second long clip from it. I could tell from just the framing and acting that this felt real.I personally can't give it a high rating because of its anxiety inducing content. I'm all for suspense and graphic content if it's appropriate. But this s**t gives me anxiety. All the people and animals dying are innocent and all the perpetrators are so unsympathetic and intimidating that i feel helpless and like a bad human being for not being able to help anyone else. I like the crime aspect to this, the directing, the writing, the acting and that's from my own country. But the lack of heart in some of these characters, lack of redemption and justice and lack of strong arcs paints an unforgiving, cruel, non-rewarding, mean and sad world. Fudge this movie makes me feel bad when i think about it. It's so real at other times. If i were to improve The Hunters i'd end it differently. I'd make it so that Erik fights his brother. Perhaps gets an answer from him where Nana is. He then turns Leif in to the police (alt. feeds him to cannibal elks because i hate him). The others are charged with crimes (or faces some consequences). Others involved (the police, the criminal's partners) are changed somehow. As the ending is now you feel like his efforts are meaningless. The village/city hasn't changed other than disliking the criminals a bit. Not all people involved has faced proportional consequences. Leif kills himself which means he gets away with everything and gets what he wants once again. Now the film's message seems to be: don't go to northern Sweden, it's corrupt, everyone hates good people, nobody changes, nothing changes, everyone are pieces of s**t, the innocent suffer, the evil wins, etc. Could have been a fantastic movie.

Big Swede T Got this on DVD not long ago but having watched it now, can I have my money back and the time it took to watch it? Perhaps we have been spoiled by some fine Nordic Noir in the last few years,and thus bad writing,improbable "plot twists" and incoherent "drama" stands out all the more...I really don't know. Loved the stunning landscapes,it's only redeeming quality but the whole"people who live in remote,rural parts of the world are bloodthirsty ,sadistic,racist,etc,etc ,bla,bla,bla" idea has been done to death. Let's be honest,the real weirdos live in big cities... Sure,Peckinpahs "Strawdogs"is a masterpiece that defines this type of movie but this flick does not reach up to old Sam's ankles... This"Deliverance"in Norrland falls flat on its face. I've been told that the sequel,that I've bought but I've yet to see, is better... Boy,let's hope so... T

nostrabastard Just re-watched this for the first time since it came out. Damn it sucks! I didn't really like it when it came out but i didn't expect it to be terrible now. It really hasn't aged well. Seems like nothing happens and that makes it feel about four hours long. Can't really feel for any of the characters because most of them feel like caricatures of real people, if this was a stage production i might had worked.So i cant' recommend this to anyone, really can't understand how the swedes can be proud of this movie. There are tons of low budget TV movies that blow this out of the water.Never again. Phil

Mattias Petersson One of the biggest Swedish box-office hits of the last couple of decades, this is an almost western-like story about a man who returns to his backwater town when his father dies.Erik Bäckström (Rolf Lassgård) left his small hometown in the north of Sweden when he was younger to become a policeman in the big city. Now that his father has died he returns to the small town. He starts working on a long-running case of people poaching reindeer, but he soon discovers that not many people have any real interest in the case being solved. Eriks loyalties are tested along with his views on right and wrong.This movie is quite solid, more so than most Swedish movies i might add. But still there are a few flaws that needs to be discussed. First of all this movie is not very sympathetic in it's description of the people from northern Sweden. Rather they are portrayed as a bunch of racist, moonshine-drinking rednecks. A view to be questioned no doubt. Also what strikes me about this movie is the almost complete lack of emotion it presents. There are terrible things going on on screen, brutal and terrifying, but they are examined at a distance and without any real moral judgment. It feels clinical.What makes this an enjoyable experience despite the flaws though are several things. Rolf Lassgård is very good in the lead as the policeman, and also the rest of the cast perform well. Especially i might mention Lennart Jähkel as his brother. Also the movie is exciting and has quite a lot of suspense. And while the director shows very little emotion in the way he portrays the events of the film, there is still much emotion to be had. Jägarna is a movie that makes you think.I rate it 7/10.
