Dressed all in red (see Little Red Riding Hood) she meets up with a smarmy but seemingly well meaning, but unnamed, wolf-like character ( Christian Bronchart). Bored and frustrated with her current spate in life she seeks out an evening at a Euro disco. The film really follows a young architect, Eve ( Lucie Debay) in the middle of a hurried job trying to balance the wants and needs of a budding romance against her career. While the initial tale is an interesting and well-conceived piece of exposition, it’s mostly left on the table, and only lightly, reviewed later the film. Imagine Aquaman in the woods but with a very tepid Little Red Riding Hood allegory. As the group’s pariah she quickly acquaints herself with all of nature’s offerings and learns to harness its ecological powers. The tale goes something like this…religious zealots follow a religious nut out in to woods and eventually a female member of the party is cast out and declared a witch. Sadly, for 2020’s The Hunted, the answer is D.ĭirected by Vincent Paronnoud, The Hunted opens with a well shot, fascinating piece of lore, that gives the audience a heavy dose of (perceived) foreshadowing that will surely come to play later in the film. A) In most cases they go back to the well, B) there’s always a sequel, or prequel, or a reboot, C) the idea is reimagined through the lens of an out of copyright idea, story, or myth, or D) they just run out of ideas. What in the world happens when filmmakers run out of ideas? Well, it’s rather simple.
