Many movies boast spectacular twist endings, tease hush-hush discussions, and beg audiences not to spoil the ending, but Hunter Hunter deserves the right to all of this fanfare. Not only does this permit the film, which was both written and directed by Linden, to keep its audience in a deep state of suspense, but makes the ending twist all the more shocking. Perhaps the greatest strength of Hunter Hunter is in its clever use of sleight of hand. Hunter Hunter's atmospheric, woodland nightmare barrels through like a boulder down a hillside and depicts a ferocious battle between man and beast. This scene will undoubtedly be its most heralded, as it revels in shock factor and is steeped in the underbelly of some of horror's most gory titles. Hunter Hunter functions like a cautionary parable that leans into several different horror sub-genres, adding layers of mystery until the movie's conclusion sprints to a heart-stopping final sequence. Horror movie veteran Devon Sawa, who is well-known to audiences for his work in Final Destination and the horror-comedy Idle Hands, takes on a much different role here, leaving behind stylized teen '90s horror for a more mature, seasoned, and even quiet countenance. Under IFC Midnight, Hunter Hunter is an indie venture that managed to creep in right at the tail end of 2020, and feels like an oddly appropriate way to usher out such a tumultuous year. Director Shawn Linden's sleek thriller, Hunter Hunter, springs tight like a bear trap and leaves its audience breathless by the time the credits roll.
