Happy Hunting

About This Movie

So, Happy Hunting is this gritty horror-thriller that really leans into the desperation of its main character, an alcoholic drifter. You feel his struggle with withdrawal, and it’s not just a backdrop; it bleeds into his interactions and heightens the tension. The atmosphere is thick with dread, especially when you get introduced to the psychotic rednecks who hunt him down. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that adds a layer of authenticity, which I appreciate. It’s not polished or conventional in pacing, but that's part of what makes it stand out. The performances bring a certain unsettling realism that keeps you engaged, even as the film ventures into pretty dark territory.
