Overview

Synopsis

While hunting in northern Canadian wilderness, two men mistakenly kill a young girl camping with her friends. Believing they're under attack, the panicked group runs deeper into the woods, lost in unfamiliar terrain. As the hunters become unpredictably threatening, tensions flare within the group as they fight for survival, salvation and sanity. Hunting Season tells the story of a lost generation. In an era where friendship is a superficial, disposable commodity, few stand a fighting chance.

Nice cinematography and sound even in (no doubt) challenging outdoor conditions. Nice pacing too. Good to see Mudpit's Carleigh Beverly in something dramatic!

Very interesting, I have never seen this idea portrayed in a film before-- the whole idea of how social media can keep us connected in times of need. Very exciting. I also loved the age range in the actors. Made it seem like more of a professional production :)

Sad to see you guys no longer in the competition. I still remember your cheap tricks video. It was one of the most memorable of the bunch. Well done and good luck with future endeavours.

I think this movie has extreme potential! They're not using cheap thrills and stunts like they use in the big blockbusters. They're relying on a realistic plotline and excellent actors to drive the story and it looks rather refreshing overall. And like I said, there's so much talent in this film. I'd love to see it on the big screen!

Nice storyline, looks like it could turn into something good. Not sure if any of the cast has it in them to turn into the hero though. Prove me wrong

Interesting & well filmed but doesn't seem like anything original. There's always the "hunting" or "picking off" of the characters in these films. Good title for sure though.

A bit unrealistic I think, I thought your cinematography was really well done. It could have been better with better actors and maybe have it somewhere other than a forest. I think that's a but overdone and some of the logic and common sense of the actors are a bit lacking. Good work though

Lots of charming, attractive people in a really implausible situation. Acting and cinematography was great; hunters aren't wearing orange, the "no cellphones" thing was a little overdone, and how far are they from their vehicles, really, if they walked there in a day? Plus, what, the hunters are going to kill five people and . . . destroy their vehicle . . . and . . . somehow assume there won't be any trace or anyone to come looking? Why are they so into murder? Lots of unanswered questions; the young characters seem bland and formless and devoid of personality --like they just walked off the page of a fall fashion catalogue--they aren't real people I can invest anything in. The hunters add some decent acting; I just don't know why, from this trailer alone, I should care about any of them, or why I should believe any of this silly stuff is happening.

I liked the trailer but I'd really have to be sold on the fact that someone who accidentally shoots someone would want to go ahead and kill 4 more people to cover it up. Maybe there is more about the hunters that I don't know. Well produced.

Great cinematography and acting, and suspenseful too...my biggest issue is I can't possibly believe that two guys hunting would suddenly just go all cold blooded and hunt down 4 more people just because of accidentally killing 1. I'd love to see this explored more though!
