#FANTASIA: “HUNTED”

By Amanda Gilmore

A woman’s innocent and random encounter with a man quickly turns sinister.

The Film follows the same theme we have seen before in survival horror films. A woman gets captured by a man, or men, and has to find ways to survive. However, Hunted takes a unique turn on this survival genre. Director-Writer Vincent Paronnaud and Co-Writer Léa Pernollet have incorporated a third character, the woods. More specifically nature and animal as a survival force for a woman. It’s this aspect, along with captivating performances from Lucie Debay and Arieh Worthalter, that turn this dark and timely Horror to the next level.

Hunted screens live online at Fantasia Fest Fri. Aug. 21 at 9:45 PM and Wed. Aug. 26 at 5 PM.
