Here's what the critics are saying about TheHunt
and the one thing that critics can agree on is Betty Gilpin's standout performance.
The satirical film follows 12 strangers who wake up in a clearing with no knowledge of where they are or how they got there. The group soon discovers that they're being hunted for sport by a group of global elites. The elites' master plan is derailed when one of the hunted, Crystal , grasps the concept of the hunters' game. She turns the tables on the killers and sets her target on the group's mysterious leader .to March 13 following mass shootings in Texas, California and Ohio.
After ads for the film were pulled, publicity around that decision prompted Fox News and Fox Business to devote many days of airtime to criticizing the movie. Host Lou Dobbs called the movie "sick" and "twisted," while he added that the idea of elites hunting deplorables sounded "a little too real.
's Rafer Guzman gave the film two and a half out of four stars. Noting that viewers "need a strong stomach and a taste for unsubtle humor to enjoy," Guzman wrote that the film "may not strike all viewers as hilarious, but it certainly isn't a one-sided hate-fest. It's just bloody entertainment with a thick slab of socio-political humor.
