But in my opinion, Josh Stewart has done it best. With the advent of the "found footage" genre, we've found a whole new way to keep our kids awake all night, even camping in the backyard. When I was a kid, we used to tell ghost stories or re-tell urban legends around the the campfire. Sorry, Josh, but it's time to go back to the drawing board for your next movie. HUNTED 2013 MOVIEThe one and only compelling aspect of this movie lies in the ghost story told during the middle. The film was clearly heavily influenced by The Blair Witch Project: if you're going to imitate one of the greats, you had better be bringing something original and awesome to the mix. I wouldn't have minded not seeing the entity stalking these two if the film itself had come out on top in the end and really delivered some great moments. It is probably to blame on the characters, which feel as hollow as a chocolate Easter bunny. Josh Stewart, always reliable, is actually kind of bland here. The ending is frustrating and enough to make you question why you even bothered watching in the first place. Why is there music in a found footage film? You don't need suspenseful music to create a mood - let the situation speak for itself. The "screams" that scare these two throughout the movie are just plain not scary. ![]() ![]() How could The Hunted not be good? It has all the right ingredients: a creepy setting, two promising actors, and a nice low budget feel. I'm a huge fan of horror, found footage, and Josh Stewart. ![]()
