The Hunt is a horror thriller movie directed by Craig Zobel and written by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof which was released in 2020. Ike Barinholtz, Betty Gilpin, Emma Roberts, and Hilary Swank starred in the film. The movie is a satire of the deep political split between the American left and right, according to Zobel and Lindelof.
The project was first revealed in March of 2018, and the cast was named a year later. New Orleans was the location for filming. The film was supposed to be released on September 27, 2019. However, following the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso in early August 2019, Universal Pictures chose to postpone it. The studio announced the postponement just days after the film was criticized for its apparent prejudice by US President Donald Trump and right-wing media outlets.
Universal Pictures released The Hunt in theatres in the United States on March 13, 2020, to mixed reviews from critics. The COVID-19 outbreak caused most theatres to close within a week of the film’s premiere, resulting in the picture underperforming at the box office, grossing only $16 million. The Hunt was released digitally on March 20 by Universal.
