SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

pgis I wasted 90 minutes of my life. The movie was left totally unresolved. The photographer, who is supposed to be a former investigative reporter, Goes out of character, starts acting like a baby and abandons his buddy. It was not scary. I cannot believe the reviews I have read here. Someone must have paid the reviewers to say good things. It was truly a Waste of time!!

amesmonde Plugging Bow Tech a presenter and camera man go to the wilderness to film a hunting documentary about a famous buck called 'Movie Star' but encounter the local legend. Not to be confused with The Hunted (2003) what starts out as a hunting documentary turns into a paranormal investigation horror. Off the bat and clear from the outset is that actor Josh Stewart (who also wrote and directs) is outstanding as hunting documentary maker Jake. Although some may be put off by the pro-hunting angle (although morally it could be seen as a cautionary tale about why you shouldn't hunt), this aside, it's one of the better found footage films out there and best viewed in the dead of night with the volume up high. The direction by Stewart is spot on and you get a good idea of the logistics and surrounding area of the setting. The camera work is crisp in keeping with the low budget but quality shoot of the pilot episode that they are filming. The images are not blurred or have too much out of focus shaky cam work, this works different to other features of the same genre, in as much as everything Slough dark at times is clear, but nothing is given away. Thankfully there's no collage kids, Stewart's script is very believable as it is more about the documentary about the buck rather than the encounters. The hunting lodge supporting cast lend credence to the film.There's added music which is reminiscent of the ghost hunting type programmes that have sprouted up over the years, which suggests their footage has been edited for broadcast. This debatably maybe an error but it can be left at the door. As well as the night on location shoot, there's creepy photos and sounds but it's the actors which sell this spin on the usual Blair Witch template along with the sound design, footstep, wails and shrieks of a disembodied woman voice which is much of the backbone hook throughout. What it lacks in visual representation of the antagonist it makes up for with Josh's excellent convincing performance as they come to terms that something isn't right in woods, stream and surrounding area.The Hunted is one of the better examples of how a tired sub-genre still has some life in it.

SmartGun ....should have been the title.*SPOILERS*I cannot put into words how bad this found-footage nonsense really is. I've seen some good ones in my time (Paranormal Activity, V/H/S 2, REC, and the Grave Encounters movies spring to mind) and I'm open to all horror movies as a life long fan...but my word: THIS IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.Zero shock factor, zero interesting footage, zero believable characters that made Blair Witch kick-start this whole fiasco, and to top it off as the title says, the hysterical factor is that that after well over an hour you literally realise you're watching two men run from the sound of an impressive orgasm. Maybe that doesn't sound like I'm dating normal people, and I'm fine with that. I'm more concerned that I had the patience to watch this garbage to the end.I'd love nothing more than to tell you why its so bad in a critical manner, but I only have one lifetime. Full credit to the "Movie Star" Deer Buck in it though, he stole the show...along with the trumpet player that informed us so hysterically when something he thought happened never did.Horror fans = Avoid.

Bloodmarsh Krackoon Josh Stewart tries his hand at directing, and what better type of film than yet another found footage horror film, when you have little to no budget - but is this really Josh Stewart's film? Or did Forrest Patterson beat him to the punch with his very own found footage horror film - 'Crybaby Bridge?' In order to find the answer, I'd have to put a little more effort into the issue, but since neither film will be remembered five minutes after you see the credits, who really gives a damn? However, both plots are nearly identical, minus one hunter (that should hold up in court.) Josh Stewart is the bigger name, though, so I'm sure no one will ever notice, even if he did rip off the material.Random Ramblings of a Madman: I'm a sucker for found footage horror films, for some odd reason. 'The Hunted' isn't a total disaster, although, I'm sure some people will be unsatisfied with the unseen presence throughout the film. You can look at it two different ways - 1. Josh Stewart ran out of budget, or 2. Josh Stewart has a different view on what a ghost really should look like (If anything at all.) I'm going with the latter here. I'll chalk this one up as another watchable, badly made found footage flick.
