The Hunt

Betty Gilpin is the prey in The Hunt

Craig Zobel's The Hunt is yet another version of The Most Dangerous Game, this time with liberal elites hunting down intolerant deplorables. The film is well paced, the humor scattershot. Zobel maintains a consistent tone of comic grotesque horror. Betty Gilpin is a solid lead, her presence here made me mourn the untimely demise of GLOW even more. Amy Madigan and Hilary Swank chew the scenery effectively. The Hunt is not a film for everyone, it left some critics in an apoplectic state, but I appreciated its B movie craftmanship and relative nihilism.
