Überraschend! Die Geschichte ist geheimnisvoll. Das haben die Autoren durch einen schlauen Wechsel der Ereignisse von drei Figuren erreicht. Der Film hat eine dichte, düstere Stimmung. Es kommen aber auch ein paar störende amateurhafte Momente. Ein besonders überraschender Höhepunkt für abgestumpfte Genre-Feinschmecker.

Avoid the trailer and, if possible, go to this blind, as I did. It begins as serious animal survival that puts against each other a family with an alternative lifestyle and a starving wolf. But then the story takes a path different from what most viewers would expect from animal horror, something that the trailer naturally spoils. If I had seen the trailer before the film, I would have surely enjoyed it less, but I didn’t and this was one of the most pleasant genre surprise of the year. The main characters are atypical hillbillies, which also helps. The execution is very good, the landscape is gorgeous, beautiful forests – it’s nice to watch and has a good atmosphere, but it could be a bit more tense. That said, the ending is a chapter on its own, it has balls. Around the 80th minute I was hesitating between strong three stars and weak four, but after the final ten minutes, there are no doubts.

A Canadian animal survival drama about a family of hunters who are tormented by a hungry wolf. Nicely shot and with beautiful nature, Hunter Hunter also captures the attention thanks to main characters, who are not teenagers but seasoned hunters who hunt to survive. I quite liked that strange things start happening in the forest and you have absolutely no idea what is going on. However, the film suffers from a very slow pace and in hindsight not that much happens. The finale with one intense scene is a bit nice, but somehow not enough for a higher rating. Hunter Hunter is definitely worth a watch though. Story***, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense***. 6/10.

Hunter Hunter ist ein unauffälliger, aber überraschender Thriller aus der Waldumgebung, der dem Zuschauer eine angemessene Portion Spannung und am Ende auch ein paar Genre-Highlights bietet. Die relativ positiven Gefühle, die ich während des Films hatte, bekämpften sich jedoch mit Antipathien gegenüber Jägern, Pelzjägern und ähnlichen Sorten, sodass ich nicht behaupten kann, dass ich den Hauptcharakteren vollständig die Daumen gedrückt habe und mitgenommen wurde von dem, was ihnen im Laufe des Films passiert ist. In jedem Fall verdient Devon Sawa mehr gute Rollen, dieser Schauspieler hat es drauf.
