Hunter Hunter (2020)

[Leisher]

A small family lives in the remote wilderness and survive off the land. The dad is Joe whose family has owned this land for generations, Anne his wife, and Renee their teen daughter. Soon they believe they are being hunted by a rogue wolf, which Joe heads out alone to handle.

This is another movie I was turned onto by the Reddit thread about movies people could only watch once. I get why it was on the list, but I don't think it would apply to anyone here. This isn't torture porn like Hostel or gross you out stuff like Human Centipede. This is a well made dramatic thriller. I would not classify this as horror despite it having horror elements.

The story has quite a large logic hole, but it's also one you'll be able to "No Prize" (everyone remember what that is?) explain it away due to the character it involves. Believe it or not, there's also a detail at play that was probably taken from real life stats. Ask me about that once you see it. The story is also slow, but I believe that's the strength of this film. It's all about building the characters and the tension for the inevitable payoff. It's not boring slow, but it is slow.

This is a Canadian film and, imho, a gem. Not one you will want to sit and re-watch because once you've seen it, you've seen it. However, it's definitely one you won't ever forget.

I was standing here in line and thought about the ending to this movie. Two words: Revenge Boner.
