Hunted
Directed by Vincent Paronnaud
What started as a flirtatious encounter at a bar turns into a life-or-death struggle as Eve (Lucie Debay) becomes the unknowing target of a misogynistic plot against her. Forced to flee as two men pursue her through the forest, she’s pushed to her extremes while fighting to survive in the wilderness—but survival isn’t enough for Eve. She will have revenge. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
In a radical take on Red Riding Hood, a woman is plunged into a life-or-death struggle when two killers pursue her through the wilderness.
Cast: Lucie Debay, Arieh Worthalter, Ciaran O'Brien

tough watch but well worth it, super tense
.
I like the fairytale style at the beginning of the movie , the dude was a psycho and played well his character but I think it could have been made better for the female character , her decision making skills were questionable, like why would you go check on the dude when the car accident happened, and why would you run towards their direction and into the forest instead of running back the road they came from . Also the blue painting on her face ????
Tightly shot, lots of inventiveness with good pacing until it pewters out in the middle and leads into a third reel that feels aimless and overstretched. Should have quit when it was ahead; instead, squanders its nihilistic (and thin) premise by leaving nature for civilisation during its final confrontation - attempted reflection of the savagery of nature and man. Even more, many parallels to be made between this flick and Wheatley's far superior "In the Earth", where mysticism is built into the tale and not attempted via symbolism (a paintball crew as a clueless, inopportune cavalry that bowls the heroin into a neo-Braveheart, really?). Not enough meat on the wolf and its prey to make all hunts in this parabola effective.
It has some positive aspects... but mostly just it's about a cartoon sadist being sadistic.
