I watched this movie yesterday, alone at night, and it was incredible! It's been a long time since I have watched such a great "found footage-movie".The main characters are the best choice for this movie, because they are really good actors, and one of them looks and sounds like Rick from The Walking Dead ;) (Just a plus)The tension build-up is perfect, with the screams and the silent old-school orchestra music.If you enjoyed The Blairwitch Project, you're going to enjoy this movie even more!It is very rare for me to give a movie a 10 in vote, but this one deserves it. Here comes some spoilers:As it might have concerned many of you; no you never get to see the actual ghost or monster (don't wanna spoil which one it is), but that doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong, usually I dislike most of the horror movies where you never get to see the ghost/monster/killer, but not this one. Actually, for this movie, it is a plus that you don't get to see it, because the "sounds" are enough. But I don't wanna explain more about this, it will just ruin it for you.Pros:LocationActingActorslightAtmosphere ...Cons:THERE ARE NON!You should really go watch it! You will not be disappointed!

Josh Stewart tries his hand at directing, and what better type of film than yet another found footage horror film, when you have little to no budget - but is this really Josh Stewart's film? Or did Forrest Patterson beat him to the punch with his very own found footage horror film - 'Crybaby Bridge?' In order to find the answer, I'd have to put a little more effort into the issue, but since neither film will be remembered five minutes after you see the credits, who really gives a damn? However, both plots are nearly identical, minus one hunter (that should hold up in court.) Josh Stewart is the bigger name, though, so I'm sure no one will ever notice, even if he did rip off the material.Random Ramblings of a Madman: I'm a sucker for found footage horror films, for some odd reason. 'The Hunted' isn't a total disaster, although, I'm sure some people will be unsatisfied with the unseen presence throughout the film. You can look at it two different ways - 1. Josh Stewart ran out of budget, or 2. Josh Stewart has a different view on what a ghost really should look like (If anything at all.) I'm going with the latter here. I'll chalk this one up as another watchable, badly made found footage flick.

Reminiscent of the classic Deer Hunter. What a crazy horror show ! The excitement is palpable. The shrieking in the woods from some ghostly apparition is scary as hell. Lol. It's also visually stunning. The woods and the crisp dewy air. It all comes together to create an amazingly intense atmosphere. So what is this apparition. Sounds like a ghost of a girl who was raped and tortured in those woods or something. One thing's for sure...it was no bobcat. The bobcat they found dead though, that just confuses the situation. They see the big buck at last, but he can't shoot it because it moves just out of range. Their eye is on the prize they keep getting antagonized by this restless spirit in the woods. I will leave the suspense to unfold.

I just finished watching this, and it was actually pretty good. Yeah, it's a found footage movie, and a lot of people do a pathetic job on these types of films, plus the market tends to be a bit over-saturated with them. Josh Stewart (The Walking Dead webisodes) wrote, directed and starred in this. Generally when somebody slaps their name all over a low-budget movie, it comes out more as a school project than anything worth watching. Not this time.It's about two guys - Jake and Stevie - who go into an unexplored area of a forest to film them hunting a big buck by the name of Movie Star. They spend three days and nights in the forest that is owned by a guy named Tony, who also owns the hunting lodge where they stay. From the first night, they hear a horrific scream that sounds like a woman, but they put it off to being a bobcat. A girl who works at the hunting lodge tells Stevie a ghost story of the area. A few things happen in the woods before that which makes Stevie take the situation very seriously, and he no longer believes it's a bobcat that is screaming in the pitch of night.Jake, wanting to get enough footage for a 22-minute show, does not want to believe any sort of ghost is haunting the area, so he resists Stevie's opinion, until it becomes apparent that it's true. I can't tell anymore without giving away spoilers.There are no special effects in this film, nor are there any pathetic looking monsters. It was made in a serious, realistic type manner, and I have to applaud the filmmakers for not getting wrapped up in trying to insert special effects into the story when they were not needed.I wasn't expecting much from this at all, but it was well worth a viewing, possibly more. With October right around the corner, I'm in need of well-done horror movies. This is certainly in that category. I know a lot of you are sick of found footage films, especially the ones done poorly and filmed only through camcorders. This is not like that. A little bit of it is filmed via camcorder, but most of it is filmed like a regular movie.I gave this a 7-star rating because the acting, writing, and directing were very good. The setting is not original, because it does take place in the forest, like most found footage films. However, the writer cared enough about the audience's view of the characters that he only had two people go into the woods, unlike many other found footage films where they send in 6 or more characters with no development. I felt these two characters were good friends, and...Oops! Almost gave away a spoiler. lol. Anyway, watch it yourself and see. I recommend it.
