The story of “The Hunger Games” and all its sequels have been parodied and honored ad nauseam after its release, and one of those horror films that takes its premises to turn it into a macabre and perverse sport is “The Hunt “which recently came out in the Netflix catalog and this will not leave anyone indifferent.
In summary, ‘The hunger games’ it was a dystopian story where the rich saw how the less privileged fought to the death as mere entertainment, or as if it were the football match on the weekend. Well, the same idea was taken by director Craig Zobel for the story of ‘Hunting’, a horror movie on netflix which managed to stand out among subscribers.
Craig Zobel, with experience in films such as’ Z for Zacharian ‘,’ Compliance ‘and series such as’ Mare of Easttown’, ‘Westworld’ or ‘American Gods’, directs’Hunting’ a satire of horror with Betty Gilpin, Hilary Swank, Ike Barinholtz, among many others. The story is a social thriller whose premise is the hunt for a group of conservatives at the hands of a few millionaire liberals.
However, ‘Hunting’ It is very far from “The Hunger Games”‘for its tone and its consequences. While in the story starring Jennifer Lawrence, here the “prisoners” have no chance of rebellion, even if there is a piece that comes out of the march. A group of elite millionaires decide to start a sport of hunting ordinary citizens, who wake up in the middle of nowhere.
The macabre game of ‘the Hunt’
While everything looks like a macabre PlayStation game in “The Hunt”, a woman who is part of the “prey” reveals herself, takes some weapons and shows her hunters that their little game won’t be that simple and starts using their skill. fighting, to make their life impossible. The comedy and dark tone of this political thriller make it a lot of fun to watch.

The film’s story is particularly relevant when we take into account its context, which came out in the middle of the US election, making a resemblance between the hunters and voters of Trump, a group of liberal millionaires, and the “deplorable” , an adjective used by Hillary Clinton to refer to Trump voters, and which in the film refers to the kidnapped.
