Great directorial debut.

The plot is actually fairly good. Two men set out on a hunting trip filming in an attempt to start a new hunting show.

Hopefully better camera work than what's showcased in The Hunted.

Frequently subjects are out of focus. Poor lighting. Extremely noisy footage. Somethings looked kinda like a poorly done green screen.

Despite the horrible camera work, I thought the movie was fairly scary. It builds tension well, the screams caused me to jump several times!

The acting was done fairly well. The dialog felt organic. The plot was great. I think this may have been a little too ambitious for the budget, or skillset.

Overall The Hunted is definitely worth the watch.

Or, as I have already said, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST rip off too, to summarize found footage stuff. There were tons of them since all those years, especially BLAIR WITCH, before REC, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, CLOVERFIELD and so on. So back to this one, the topic itself, without the footage scheme, is not new either. Another DELIVERANCE rip-off too, if you watch closely. Not bad at all, I have seen much worse, but it may be tiring to watch only this kind of material. Yes, you can feel tired and bored. But once in a while, I am OK. This feature sounds very amateur though, but I tried to put that besides. I tried. It remains too much talkative and flat, a problem for this kind of directing.

I had high hopes for this movie. I really liked "The Blair Witch", and I thought that this effort might be reasonably close. Unfortunately, I was wrong. You would be better served to watch an episode... ANY episode... of the television series "Mountain Monsters".
