Stars: Camille Rowe, Jeremy Scippio, Stasa Stanic | Written by Franck Khalfoun, Glen Freyer | Directed by Franck Khalfoun
Night of the Hunted, the latest film from Franck Khalfoun is a remake, but not of Jean Rollin’s 1980 paranoid thriller of the same name, though that would be a logical choice for rebooting in these conspiracy-riddled times. Instead, he and co-writer Glen Freyer have reworked and updated Rubén Ávila Calvo and David R.L.’s 2015 Spanish thriller Night of the Rat.
This film begins in a hotel room where Alice is talking to her husband on the phone, we hear something about an appointment with a fertility specialist before she hurriedly hangs up as John enters the room.

Writer/Director Franck Khalfoun, the French filmmaker behind P2 and Maniac (2012), knows a thing or two about brutal horror and wringing palpable tension from it. His latest, Night of the Hunted, adapts the 2015 Spanish horror-thriller La Noche del Ratón for a grim single-location feature that taps into the tumultuous social climate. Khalfoun continues his streak for delivering nail-biting suspense through escalating violence, though the film’s messaging may prove divisive.
Alice (The Deep House’s Camille Rowe) sleepily video chats with her husband as she gets ready in her hotel room. She ends the call mere moments before her lover, John (Jeremy Scippio), enters the frame, avoiding catastrophe within seconds. After pausing to collect herself, Alice pushes John onward as they head out in the middle of the night to start their travels home. They don’t get far down the road, as a stop at a rural gas station...

Franck Khalfoun, the French filmmaker behind P2 and Maniac (2012), returns this Halloween season with Night of the Hunted, a new survival horror movie on the way from Shudder.
The film just had its world premiere at Beyond Fest 2023 and will stream exclusively on Shudder next Friday, October 20. Watch the official trailer down below.
Set in the American west, Night of the Hunted follows Alice, played by Camilla Rowe, as a road trip turns into a fight for her life when a vengeful sniper targets her and traps her in a remote, isolated gas station. “An indictment of modern polarized politics, the film is a tight but brutal single-location thriller,” Shudder previews in the official press release.
Night of the Hunted is produced by Alexandre Aja, serving as the 3rd collaboration between Aja and director Franck Khalfoun.
Franck Khalfoun and Glen Freyer wrote the screenplay.

Genre regulars Alexandre Aja and Franck Khalfoun have worked together many times over the years. Khalfoun had acting roles in Aja’s movies High Tension and Piranha 3D, worked in the script department on Aja’s The Hills Have Eyes remake, and was an executive producer on his film Oxygen. Aja wrote and produced Khalfoun’s directorial efforts P2 and Maniac. And now they’ve teamed up again for the thriller Night of the Hunted, which is set to start streaming on both the Shudder and AMC+ services as of October 20th. We’ve gotten our hands on a trailer for Night of the Hunted, and you can check it out in the embed above.
Like several of the previous Aja and Khalfoun projects, Night of the Hunted is a remake. In this case, the source material is the 2015 Spanish film La Noche del Ratón.
