Hunter Hunter (2020) is a movie that I recently watched on Hulu. The storyline follows a family that lives deep in the forest and survives by living off the land. When they find tracks and animal parts around their house they believe a wolf is stalking their land, putting their child at risk. As the father starts hunting and tracking the wolf he may discover a wolf is the least of their problems.

This movie is directed by Shawn Linden (The Good Lie) and stars Camille Sullivan (The Disappearance), Summer H. Howell (Curse of Chucky), Devon Sawa (Idle Hands), Nick Stahl (Sin City) and Jade Michael (Orphan: First Kill).

The setting, characters and circumstances in this are very unique. The storyline is creative but a bit of a slower burn than I would have liked. However, there are some very well executed aspects of this movie - the bodies at the camp site in the woods was very well done, the carving scene is fantastic and the very end is magnificent. The gore in the final scene is perfectly executed and fun to watch unfold. The acting is also excellent and Sullivan depicts the evolution of her character perfectly.

Overall, this is a bit of an uneven movie with some worthwhile elements. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and strongly recommend it.
