Leave your thoughts about Hunted.
| Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpHunted doesn’t exactly rewrite the original tale, but it doesn’t have to. It just has to have teeth, and Paronnaud’s kept those canines sharp and savage. |
| The GuardianLeslie FelperinThankfully, we only see glimpses of the footage of tortured women on the hideously believable nemesis’s camera, so ultimately the movie – just about – feels more like a critique of the character’s woman-hating mindset rather than a vehicle for it. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIt's a hodgepodge of wildly divergent narrative styles, from the mystical to the grisly and into the ridiculous. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThere’s a better version of Hunted that either leans more into its surreal flights of fancy or settles into gritty, tense realism. Hunted gets caught in the middle. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe half-hearted lean into “jokey” means that Hunted never gets under your skin and transitions into a visceral experience. |
| Screen DailyTim GriersonFor all the big themes rustling around in Hunted, they lack the startling ferocity that develops on Eve’s face — for her, there’s nothing theoretical about this study of predatory male behaviour. |
| Slant MagazineSteven ScaifeHunted intends to make a show of our desensitization to predator-prey relationships, but the greater purpose of its self-awareness never quite comes into clear focus. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAdding a fairy-tale cast to a generic horror setup is of no benefit to Hunted, Vincent Paronnaud’s unpleasant merger of slasher movie and survival thriller. |
