A provocative movie with a surprising twist is on TV tonight – or, more accurately, very early tomorrow morning. It’s the 2020 film The Hunt, and it will be shown on Channel at 12:10 AM.
The movie stars Emma Roberts, Hilary Swank, Glenn Howerton, and Betty Gilpin, and tells the story of a group of wealthy individuals who capture ordinary people – whom they call ‘deplorables’ – for a cruel and disturbing hunting game.
The film sparked significant debate and controversy, leading to its initial release being halted and postponed for six months after several mass shootings in the United States.
What to Read Next
The movie’s marketing team leaned into the criticism from conservative groups, playfully suggesting the film had already overcome attempts to be cancelled.
According to writer Damon Lindelof, this movie is likely the most criticized film ever made, especially considering that most of the critics hadn’t actually watched it.
No one who’s watched the film has called it shocking or offensive. Viewers easily recognize it as a satire and understand it’s intentionally absurd.
Honestly, I really hope people love this game. More than that, though, I think it could actually start a conversation about how divided we’ve become as a country. It’s kinda ironic, but I’m hoping something meant to be intense actually brings people together instead of pushing them further apart.
The movie received mixed reviews. Critics gave it a 57% positive rating, while audiences rated it slightly higher at 66% on Rotten Tomatoes. Its average score on IMDb is 6.6 out of 10.
I recently watched The Hunt, and honestly, it’s a really smart, darkly funny take on where we are politically right now. MSB Reviews put it perfectly – it’s a brilliant satire. And Ready Steady Cut described it as a surprisingly fun, though definitely gory, movie – they even said it’s weirdly about people finding common ground and uniting, which I thought was a really interesting way to look at it.
I read a review on Next Best Picture that really hit the nail on the head. They pointed out that while the movie tries to poke fun at everyone, it doesn’t really offend anyone. The reviewer felt that if you’re going to make a satire meant to be controversial, the writing needs to be a lot smarter and more insightful.
One viewer shared on IMDb that the ending was a surprising shock, while another commented that although the movie had an interesting concept, its limited budget affected the overall quality.
You can watch The Hunt on Channel 4 at 12:10 AM, and it will also be available to stream on Channel 4’s online service after it airs.
Okay, gamers, listen up! The newest issue of Living Legends just dropped, and it’s called Ariana & Witches! You can grab it at all good newsagents or online for only £8.99. Definitely worth checking out!
