The Hunt

A great number of hunters - a great number of deer. Statistically something was bound to go wrong.

A found-footage creature-feature that inverts the hunter-hunted dynamic, trapping ordinary people in a paranoid survival scenario with an alien or supernatural threat.

Bow hunting enthusiast Jack Hamberg, his eight-year old stepson Clint and former news cameraman Atticus Monroe are on a mission to make a deer hunting video. All that is needed to complete the video is a "kill". Jack and Atticus reluctantly decide to trespass onto a nearby property where there may be more abundant prey. Once inside the restricted area, they come upon some frightening realizations. The hunters have become the hunted.
