Night of the Hunted

9/10/2024

I love thrillers and horrors and mysteries but I had no interest in watching this movie because it looked like trash. However, Ask Me Anything's thought-provoking Discussion spurred my interest. As I feared though, this movie is indeed trash, not because the antagonist is a psychopath who mirrors the bigoted, anti-VAX, anti-establishment, pro-Trump lunatics who preach daily about their right to bear arms, share their racist views and hate on women like a bunch of toxic, self-hating, closeted gay men, but because the movie is simply boring. We've always had psychopaths whining about how they're The Reel Victims™ in movies. It's not hard to make a lunatic compelling, even one as nonsensical as the one portrayed here. This movie simply fails to do it. There's nothing "decent" here excep
