The Hunt

Right now you can watch The Hunt in Australia on Netflix, and in the UK on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 3,713 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Betty Gilpin anchors it, but the writing does the real work. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, The Hunt earns its spot. The Hunt treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don't know where they are—or how they got there. In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, ruthless elitists gather at a remote location to hunt humans for sport. Credit to Betty Gilpin and Hilary Swank for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. The Hunt came out in 2020. What makes The Hunt hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, The Hunt will keep you hooked. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Betty Gilpin anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
