Indeed in many areas of the world attacks by great whites have diminished in recent years which could be a sign of their dwindling populations but attacks are sadly showing a recent increase in coastal regions where shark tourism is a factor. Great whites prefer marine life for their food and that includes other great whites! In 2012 a fisherman from New Zealand captured an amazing picture of a great white he had hooked being attacked by a larger member of the same species as he attempted to land the fish. This is, of course, a ridiculous notion and merely the stuff of the movies but how far can the murderous reputation of the great white be justified and are these fish now the real victims?ĭespite the fearsome reputation of the species, attacks on humans by great whites are comparatively rare.
THE HUNTED 2013 SERIES
The reputation of the species was not greatly enhanced by the “Jaws” series of films which portrayed several man-hating giant fish which actively searched for human prey and even for particular individuals. Unless you're huge on found footage movies, I'd say skip this one.The great white shark is fabled as a remorseless killer to the extent that it is almost the stuff of legends. I mean, you're really reaching at the bottom of the barrel when the antagonist in the film is just an audio file that gets played over and over.
THE HUNTED 2013 MOVIE
So essentially the antagonist in this movie is simply a repeated audio file.Īside from a couple somewhat creepy moments, The Hunted is just more proof that the found footage subgenre needs to end. That's literally all this ghost does until towards the end, but even by that point we don't see anything. I mean, seriously? You guys couldn't have tried to change the screaming just a little bit? It had to be the exact same track over and over? (*sigh*). Look, it was creepy the first few times, but it gets old pretty damn fast, especially after the 50th time we hear it. For whatever reason the filmmakers used the same exact female panting and screaming audio file whenever the ghost was around. Unfortunately that's all this spectral is capable of doing (at least until the climax). The creepiness is especially effective when the "ghost" is first introduced by way of screaming.
While The Hunted isn't a good movie, it does offer a couple somewhat creepy scenes, especially since it's primarily shot at night and in the middle of the woods.
Instead, they find themselves caught in the middle of a supposedly haunted bit of forest (don't you hate when that happens). The duo hope to film themselves catching a legendary deer that roams the secluded mountains of West Virginia and use that as a pilot for a potential show.
THE HUNTED 2013 TV
The movie essentially just follows two characters-Jake (Josh Stewart) the adventurous hunter that's eager to make his big break in reality TV and his sole cameraman Stevie (Ronnie Gene Blevins). Sadly The Hunted is not that gem, no matter how much you try to polish it. As I've said in the past, I'm not a fan of found footage movies, but I still watch'em anyway hoping that the next will be a gem among the sea of terrible efforts. Josh Stewart (better known as Arkin from The Collector and its sequel) makes his writing and directorial debut with The Hunted-a micro-budget found footage flick.
