Hunting Grounds Trailers

Set in a possible future where people have been forced stay in big cities due to the degradation of the natural world. The virtual world has expanded to a level of realism that transcends reality. The most popular activity in the virtual world is a hunting game. A group of people manage to get out of the city to go for a real hunt. Nothing could quite prepare them for what's to come...

Probably someone somewhere videotaped their aged grandmother tweezing armpit hair or something, and that may (or may not?) have been worse. Some people were put on this planet to make movies, some were put on this planet to collect trash and remove it to the land fill, others were put here to scam gullible people out of their money. The people involved in this production are obviously the latter. This video is yet another attempt to get poor suckers to shell out $1.25 at the local video vending machine by offering reasonably attractive cover art along with a vague storyline in order to catch unwary consumer off guard. Sure people have seen everything good and are looking for something to fill the gap. Tired of crap TV like "The Worn Out Old Hags of Orange County" and "Jersey Whores". But face it people, its YOUR fault all this trash repeatedly gets made. You are the idiots who watch it. If it wasn't for the irresponsible consumers of all this trash, these people would stop getting rich off of you, and would actually have to make something entertaining to get your money. NO, I didn't pay to see this particular piece of trash. My job allows me to see all this garbage for free, then I try to warn you saps about it. It seems to fall on deaf ears though. One more time in case you missed it. AVOID THIS GARBAGE. Don't listen to fake ten star reviews for a movie whose actual budget was probably less than a trip to the grocery store.

I've seen my share of bad movies, heck, I've made movies myself and were one million times better than this travesty of an eyesore. Here's a few tips for Bilodeau next time you think of raping us with another one of your CACS. ONE: try acting in your original language. It was like watching retarded children learning to walk, awkward and weird.Keep it in french OK? TWO : Too much useless information. You're producing a zombie movie, not a fricking Police investigation. Keep it to it's bare minimum and actually make your zombies do something instead of standing still. Dude, the actors keep repeating themselves every minute or so, a little bit of diversity in the dialog would be much appreciated. WE KNOW THEY'RE GOING HUNTING, GOD !!! THREE: Where did all the money go? I can't imagine that with those effects this movie cost 20.000$. That's CRAZY!!! If you can't afford a movie based in the near future then DO IT IN THE PRESENT, JEEZE !!! FOUR: Stop making movies For those who say that they liked this ... movie, I call forth the greatest hypocritical movement ever. FOR SHAME

Two gals, two "tough" guys and the obligatory young jerk tired of living in a self contained city venture out in the woods for some illegal hunting.The plot is more complicated than my description, there are all sorts of sub-plots that made me fast-forward in more than one occasion, but overall I liked this indie film. I especially liked the music used in the opening credits and some of the FX weren't as bad as some folks on these boards say.The acting was varied. The main cast does what it can with their lines and unfortunately more often than not, I had a hard time understanding as they would switch from English to French! Some of the CGI FX were pretty bad, but the zombies looked pretty okay and while the film drags a little, it kept me entertained.If you like low budgeted films like I do, go ahead and rent/buy/download this Canadian effort. AND no, I'm not related in a ny way/shape/form to the filmmakers, Am just a fan of these weird sci-fi/horror films.

First, I wanted to say that I really liked Hunting Grouds a lot.  I had been reading in the reviews how people kept saying that the film had an original and truly unique look, and now that I have seen it I would have to agree.  I know it was made on a low budget, but it has a great professional look.  The details are super crisp and the color is fantastic.  I love the blending of the real life, the models, and CGI effects, it all comes together for a very stylized  effect.  Aside from the zombies, the story reminded me a lot of the classic movie, "On Dangerous Ground" with the whole notion of the hunter and the hunted.  I think the main character Patrice LeBlanc does a fantastic job in the film.  He has a great look to him that I think would help make the sequels a great success.  I am not  sure why, but I kept getting this cool Jean- Claude Van Damme / Dolph Lundgren vibe from him... Maybe its from watching Universal Soldier to many times as a kid, but I definitely think its a good thing.I can't wait to see what this group does next with their film-making, and I wish them the best of luck.David
