![]() When he takes his two daughters to an abandoned cabin in the woods to kill them, a supernatural force protects the girls and kills the father instead.įive years later, they girls are found by a rescue party, but they're completely feral. Mama opens with a deranged husband who killed all of his business partners, employees, and his wife after losing all of his money due to the stock market crash of 2008. ![]() His 2010 film Mama is proof positive of Muschietti's talent for terror, and with Guillermo del Toro at his side, this movie is definitely worth a watch. And that is, as a filmmaker if you can insert some masked paintball gun-toting military just to add the perfect splash of blue war paint to your lead actresses’ face without it looking weird or silly, you are in the right line of work.As the director of the 2017 adaptation of IT and the hotly anticipated sequel, IT: Chapter Two, Andy Muschietti sure knows how to stir up some spooky scares-and he's been at it for years. Additionally, I will say one thing though. I don’t want to go into any more detail because Hunted really does a good job with its ingredients. Once the storyline hits the vast and perilous forests, things really begin to pick up. Eve realizes sooner rather than later her Valliant friendly knight is anything of the kind but finds herself in a situation she is unable to free herself from immediately. The two then spark up an acquaintance which turns into Eve relaxing in his company as they enjoy the bar and the music.Īdditionally, the transitions, Arieh Worthalter (Sympathy for the Devil), makes between being himself and the wolf, in sheep’s clothing are subtle and unnerving. As he grabs her arm, a man who had been frolicking around the dancefloor appears and huffs and puffs and blows him away. The type that then acts like Eve is then at fault for being more steadfast in her rejection of his advances. A not-so-friendly douchebag appears, hitting on her aggressively. She leaves her apartment, donning a hooded red jacket, and pops into a nearby bar for a mojito. As she tries to relax after a busy day at work, text messages from Alex appear on her phone. Lucie Debay plays a petite and blonde, Eve. It’s constructed in such a way that the fantasy element blends into the fable which then combines harmoniously with the creepy psychopathic story arc for our Big Bad Wolf. Is it a revenge story? Or is it a fable? Better yet, is it a creepy stalker film? Hunted is all of these things and more. But the newest feature film from French writer-director Vincent Paronnaud is a very cool and visually pleasing horror film. I am not claiming the Hunted movie concept is a new or novel idea. You might be thinking, we’ve all seen this before and you’d be correct. Man chases Woman” quote from Hunted – the new Big Bad Wolf retold film from Vincent Paronnaud. “Once upon a frenzied time, Woman meets Man. With an introduction made by a wise woman telling stories to her young son, the idea of having the company of wolves over that of people is presented to us. Hunted Movie Review of The Big Bad Wolf FairyTale Re-Told With the talent of Paronnauds’ obvious musical and artistic talents peeking out within the structure of the film, Hunted is, by all means, a really great new movie. A dream I personally dared to ponder on many an occasion as remake after remake presented itself (not that there’s anything wrong with that.) Why not more classic fairytales as horror movies? And here is one example in all its glory. Paonnaud is known as a self-taught all-rounder who wants to combine the extremes and pervert the staples we horror fans all know and love. ![]() ![]() Hunted is available to watch on the Shudder streaming service and premiered the cinematically boujee horror movie on January 14th, 2021. Gone is the bedtime story of the Big Bad Wolf meant for kids. Mother of Movies was already excited at the prospect of a horror movie combined with the fairytales and the bones of the Big Bad Wolf. Understanding how Vincent Paronnaud’s HUNTED movie came to be is half the journey.
