We dive into the razor-sharp action thriller The Hunt, directed by Craig Zobel and starring the phenomenal Betty Gilpin, alongside Hilary Swank, Ike Barinholtz, and Ethan Suplee. A somewhat controversial film, centring on a group of elites hunting right-wing individuals for sport, didn't just turn heads—it sparked fierce debates and outrage, coinciding with the heated 2020 U.S. presidential campaign.
We kick things off with a spoiler-free review, unpacking the film’s blend of dark humour and high-stakes action. From its release backlash, fuelled by high-profile critiques to its commentary on the absurdity of political extremes, we explore how The Hunt holds a mirror to society’s outrage culture.
We reflect on the film’s impact and ask, is The Hunt a satirical mirror to our divided society, or simply a thriller meant to shock? Either way, its cultural punch is undeniable, with humour and horror colliding in a tense exploration of modern political discord.
Does The Hunt hit too close to home?
