The hunters become the hunted in an all-star dark-edged vengeance thriller.
Award-winning British filmmaker Elizabeth Blake-Thomas helms the wildly violent and unrelenting revenge thriller Hunt Club, which takes a stark gaze at the sinister depths of toxic masculinity and sees Oscar®-winning actor Mena Suvari (American Beauty) deliver an unmissable turn as the kick-ass lead.
This all-star blood-thirsty action thriller gets its UK premiere this summer from Plaion Pictures and also stars screen legend Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers), Will Peltz (Unfriended) and Maya Stojan (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D).
A group of men are gearing up for a wild weekend away on an extreme hunt, where there’s a chance to win the prize of $100,000, but the stakes are higher than anyone can imagine.
Cassandra (Suvari) is a strong mother who’s going through a tough time… Her daughter is missing and she doesn’t know where to turn, so when the tough-talking Tessa (Stojan) enters her life, things start to look up… But a ‘chance’ encounter with two men – Carter (Van Dien) and his son Jackson (Peltz) – is about to change everything…
Invited to join the hunt, Cassandra jumps at the chance to win the prize money, but when she gets to the island, she soon discovers this is no ordinary hunt, there’s more to it than meets the eye… the prize is way more sinister. The island is full of scared young women who have been lured there to be the ultimate win – they’re about to be hunted and killed by the vile sadistic hunters.
But it’s not long before the men discover that they’ve messed with the wrong women. As the situation takes an unexpected turn, the hunters become the hunted.
Vengeance is about to be served ice-cold in an all-out blood-soaked climax. Join the Hunt Club in a dangerously dark and shockingly sharp thriller.
