There are all kinds of sub-genres of horror movies anymore, aren’t there? One that’s been around for a while —since 1932 and the release of The Most Dangerous Game— is “people hunting people” movies. The latest addition of which is Hunted. It releases in theaters on October 21 and then on digital and On Demand on October 25.

Let’s check out what it’s all about, including who’s in it and take a peek at the trailer.

Hunted Synopsis

Hired by an antiquities dealer to steal a family heirloom, four young friends break into the seemingly abandoned Redwick Estate in pursuit of the treasure. Once inside the mansion, they discover they are not alone.

Attacked and bound by their captors, they are spirited away from the home and released in the middle of nowhere. As punishment for breaking into their ancestral home, the Redwick’s will hunt the four friends like animals on their sprawling, secluded estate grounds.

Tracked by hounds and pursued by the armed family on horseback, the foursome soon realize the treacherous property is covered with traps. This is not the Redwick’s first time hunting humans. The blood sport has been a decades-long, sadistic family entertainment.

After a shockingly violent death in their group, the friends stop running and start fighting back —the prey turn on their predators and unleash bloody revenge as they fight for their very lives.

Hunted Cast & Crew

Hunted was directed by Tommy Boulding and was written by Dean Lines and Ray Bogdanovich.

It stars Samantha Bond (Downton Abbey), Nick Moran (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1), James Lance (Ted Lasso, The Canterville Ghost), Hannah Traylen (Harlots, Ridley Road), and Malachi Pullar Latchman (Shark Bait).
