Movie about bride being hunted5/8/2023 Transcript ‘The Hunt’ | Anatomy of a Scene The director Craig Zobel narrates a sequence from his horror satire starring Betty Gilpin. The screenwriters Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof are able to leave their audience in the dark, at least in terms of specifics, because they’re drawing on a story that has become common cultural currency. The opening scenes of Craig Zobel’s “The Hunt” are pointedly free of all but the vaguest exposition, mostly for dramatic effect it takes some time to figure out exactly who is doing the hunting, who is being hunted and why - and these revelations provide much of the narrative fuel for the controversy-soaked picture. No sooner have they armed themselves than the carnage begins, and these confused strangers are picked off in a flurry of gunfire, land mines and hand grenades. Inside they find, strangely, a fully clothed pig - and an arsenal of weapons. Wandering through the trees and brush, she spots several other people similarly constrained, and together they move toward an open field, where a giant wooden crate awaits them. A young woman awakens in the woods, gagged, confused and afraid.
