The Hunted AKA The Dark Forest (2013)
A really excellent found footage that gets everything right. Relatable premise, excellent acting, good build of suspense and creepy.
Written by, directed by and starring Josh Stewart it’s the tale of Jake, an attractive man with a hot accent who wants his own reality hunting show. He and his friend Stevie are hunting the unhuntable and then find themselves being hunted…will they survive the night?
I’m not telling you! I only tell on old movies that are a bit naff and I want people to watch this.
It has a good build-up and the atmosphere is really intense. It also has Skipp Sudduth, surely one of the hardest working men on TV and film. I feel like I see his name constantly.
If you don’t like a long build up you won’t like it so much but then why watch found footage? That’s half the fun, sometimes the imagination is a million times worse.
