Happy Hunting (2017) Reviews

  • There's just some strange creepiness n isolation about horror movies set in the desert.

    Fella_shibby2018-03-15

    I am writing a review of this film again as my old review got deleted somehow n so this time i will make it a short review. Saw this on a dvd. As a fan of survival movies especially set in the backwoods, deserts, outback n snowcovered land, i enjoyed viewing this. I love movies set in the Great Basin, Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan. There's just some strange creepiness n isolation about horror movies set in the desert. This movie has less body count n a bit slow pacing, but the overall product is pretty enjoyable for genre fans. Of course, the plot once again lifted from The Most Dangerous Game.

  • Happy Hunting: It had potential

    Platypuschow2019-03-08

    An alcoholic drifter goes on the run after upsetting meth dealers, he turns up in a small town only to find himself hunted by the locals in a sick game of cat and mouse. Very professionally made and fantastically directed I was fairly impressed with Happy Hunting early on. The concept though not original was handled well and everything seemed to be going well. It has pacing issues but nothing too major, the issue really comes with a pointless side story and an ending that will really quite stun you. Why? Because it's bafflingly stupid, really stupid. Up until that point for the most part I was enjoying Happy Hunting and thought it'd walk away with a comfortable rating, alas that ending is so counterproductive it damages the film. Such a shame, whoever wrote that needs to sit in the corner and think about what he's done. The Good: Very well directed The Bad: That ending

  • Original concept? Absolutely not...still, a watchable 5 or 6...

    mariusar2017-09-26

    This review is a direct response to JvH48's needlessly glowing review of Happy Hunting. With all due respect to the Netherlands, this person has either written one of the very best "shill" reviews I have yet encountered here on IMDb or is simply someone who has not yet seen nearly enough films of this specific type. Perhaps some benefit of the doubt is required for pretty much everything JvH48 asserts... Let's get one thing straight immediately: the core concept of Happy Hunting is absolutely NOT "an original plot" in any way, shape or form. Other than the very basic rationale for the game itself (punishing those deemed wayward, criminal or individuals with certain addictions), the actual core cinematic concept Happy Hunting explores goes at least as far back as 1932's classic film The Most Dangerous Game. Since then, the basic premise of humans hunting other humans has been examined countless times in nearly all genres of films including horror, drama, thriller...even war films. Hell, even Jean Claude Van Damme covered this concept in Hard Target. That out of the way, Happy Hunting is still a mostly watchable film. Fairly competent performances all around and yes, some of the (less gushing) observations from JvH48 about the main character's struggle with his addiction while being pursued is indeed reasonably well presented. Add to that some occasionally interesting visual imagery of the stark, desolate desert landscape the film takes place in along with a straight-ahead plot - co-director Louie Gibson (yes, Mel's son) has turned in a decent effort here. Nothing exceptional at all but still a good turn and an acceptable start to a budding career. So, a straight-forward entry into the oft-explored "Most Dangerous Game" genre, Happy Hunting gets a solid 5. Extra credit up to a 6 however for the film's visual in the final 10 minutes of something that is quite prevalent in 2017 America's consciousness, especially with the current "administration" occupying the White House.

  • Creativity is its biggest strength

    jtindahouse2018-01-07

    I was very interested in 'Happy Hunting' once I found out it was directed and written by Mel Gibson's son Louie Gibson. Mel is one of the finest directors working in Hollywood today so I thought it would be very interesting to see if his son possessed any of the same talent. So does he? Possibly, it was harder to work out than I had anticipated. 'Happy Hunting' is quite a strange film. It sets out to be strange, but I think managed to be even stranger than intended and in unintended ways. I would say I enjoyed it, without loving it. There's a point halfway through the film where you will likely ask yourself how are they going to stretch this out for another 45 minutes? They manage it though and while I wouldn't say the pacing of the film is its strongest point, it's not a bad effort considering the way the film is set up. I also liked some of the creativity used in certain scenes. This is the main indication to me that Louie Gibson might have some real talent because creativity in film making seems to be the thing most directors struggle with today. It is sorely lacking in many modern films, however not this one. I wouldn't call this a "must-see" but if you stumble across it on Netflix it's worth a watch and you'll get basically what you're promised.

  • Happy Hunting (2017)

    SashaDarko2018-01-04

    A pretty OK survival thriller (not a horror) about a junkie / alcoholic who drives from town to town, desperately trying to find money (and also hoping to visit his daughter in Mexico?). The movie starts with him trying to scam two other junkies, which results in both of them dying, him escaping the scene and a friend of these junkies following him (along with his son or something). Then they stumble upon a town of rednecks who tell everyone about their hunting traditions, hiding that they're hunting for humans. The kidnapped "participants" then run through the desert (close to the border with Mexico), trying to escape the rednecks who hunt them. The junkie has some tremors, visions and other side effects of withdrawal, but none of them really affect the story. The practical effects are decent, but the computer ones (like the ones they made for blood splashes) are pretty poor (especially in the shack shooting scene). The final confrontation with one of the hunters also makes no sense. I can only agree with another review saying it's a "watchable 5 or 6", it's exactly what it is.
