Low-budget take on the evergreen tale already feels overshadowed by the grand French retelling due next door
This British stab at the deathless Dumas novel refuses to heed its own running gag: always run in the face of overwhelming odds. In this case it’s the imminent arrival of a star-bejewelled, two-part French adaptation with Vincent Cassel, Eva Green, Romain Duris and Vicky Krieps. Instead, it puts up a valiant stand – led by pretty plush production and costume design for what is presumably a low-budget affair. But finally it waves its colours in surrender, let down by patchy acting and unimaginative direction.
It at least boasts one first: a black D’Artagnan (Malachi Pullar-Latchman). Whatever your stance on “racelifting”, in this instance it works pretty well: emphasising the would-be musketeer’s outsider but upwardly mobile status as he arrives in Paris, and lines up back-to-back duels with Athos (Ben Freeman...

Hounded, also released as Hunted outside the UK, is the latest cinematic variation on The Most Dangerous Game. It takes elements from films like Don’t Breathe, Nefarious, and Turkey Shoot then adds the very upper-class British tradition of fox hunting. The result is a not-so-subtle survival horror metaphor for class warfare.
Leon and his brother Chaz along with their partners Vix and Tod have a good racket going on. Gregory, the local antique dealer hires them to rob his own customers. It’s good money for a quick in and out, grabbing the one item of value he wants.
Having made enough to send Chaz to college, Leon is ready to retire. The others however want one more job to set themselves up.

With its ‘posho’ villains and gang of ne’er-do-wells, this tale debut from director Tommy Boulding is too caricatural to hit hard as satire
Brexit has been conspicuous by its absence so far in British cinema. So for the time being we have to make do with faint echoes in the likes of Hounded, which in its B-movie-ish way deals with the current deep divisions in English society and nostalgia for Blighty’s heyday. Pitting a group of Peckham housebreakers against the fox-hunting set, its satire is blunt-nosed and its prole-coursing spree never quite devious enough. But it still has a certain vindictive thrill.
Leon (Nobuse Jr) is the leader of a crew of thieves about to pull one last job in order to bankroll the studies of Chaz (Malachi Pullar-Latchman). Along with domestic abuse survivor Vix (Hannah Traylen) and Polish immigrant Tod (Ross Coles), they bust into a sprawling manor,...

Plot: A gang of young thieves in the midst of a home robbery get more than they bargained for when they are captured by the property owners. Attacked and bound by their captors, they are spirited away from the home and released in the middle of nowhere — tracked, hunted and to be killed like animals by a heavily armed wealthy family.
Review: We’ve seen the “Most Dangerous Game” story told in many different ways, yet Hunted manages to still be entertaining despite knowing where it’s going for most of the duration. And I think it’s because they go the smart route of keeping this small. This is a singular group being hunted by another singular group. This isn’t some large conspiracy that spans the entire world, which immediately goes into the realm of fantasy. The film’s greatest strength is just how real the situation feels.

One of this year’s most engaging British horror films, a hit at Frightfest and due to be released in digital formats on Halloween, Hounded is the story of a group of young, working class London thieves commissioned to go out into the countryside and steal from the rich. It boasts some great performances, especially from Malachi Pullar-Latchman and Hannah Traylen, and it feels very topical in its approach to class politics. On only their second job, the thieves find themselves set up, and they’re dumped in a field in order to be hunted by red-coated aristocrats with a pack of hounds. Whilst films about the hunting of humans are not exactly new, director Tommy Boulding successfully sells us the idea that this is a whole new world for his young protagonists, and he’s full of praise for...

"Last night you made the unfortunate mistake of breaking into my ancestral home." Saban Films has unveiled an official US trailer for an indie action thriller titled Hunted, formerly known as Hounded when it premiered at FrightFest in the UK last month. Arriving in the US in theaters and on VOD starting in October. The film comes from the UK and is described as a "seriously suspenseful action-thriller." A stately home robbery takes an evil turn one night when a gang of young thieves are caught by the owners of the house and then hunted across the estate for the proprietor's entertainment. Sounds like a bit of a twist on "The Most Dangerous" game concept, along with some wealthy estate owners being royal assholes. Hunted stars Samantha Bond, Nick Moran, James Lance, and Malachi Pullar Latchman. Get a head start now. It almost reminds me of The Hunger Games in this trailer,...

To celebrate the home entertainment release of the nail-biting terrifying thriller Shark Bait, we have a copy of the DVD up for grabs courtesy of Altitude!
Shark Bait is being released on DVD, on altitude.film and other digital platforms from 6th June.
This edge-of-your-seat nerve-shredder, from the producers of 47 Metres Down, Attack The Block and Boss Level, sees a group of spring-breakers being terrorised by a fearsome predator off the coast of Mexico. Director James Nunn delivers an adrenaline rush of a film packed with seriously intense set pieces, with a taut, twisting script from Nick Saltrese (who wrote the acclaimed and award-winning prison boxing film A Prayer Before Dawn). We dare you to watch it with your toes on the floor!
The fantastic cast includes Holly Earl (from the TV series Humans), Catherine Hannay (Doctors), and Malachi Pullar-Latchman (soon to be seen as D’Artagnan in The Three Musketeers), who discover,...

It doesn’t help that there is more charisma in the shark’s cold dead eye than in the entire cast
“Tyler, no! You took a bang to the head!” “That might be a problem if there was something inside of there!” So goes an almighty self-own when one of five spring-breakers trapped on a jetski in shark-infested waters decides to swim for help in this depressingly unimaginative thriller. The party posse-cum-human chum bucket in this carnivorous outing are so moronic that the intro in which they twerk, chug beers and hijack motorised watercraft while roaring “Ride or die!” resembles the legendary Zoolander petrol fight without the satire.
In answer to their war-cry, they mostly die. After sensibly playing jetski chicken, the fatuous five find themselves crammed on a single stalled machine drifting out to sea – and Greg (Thomas Flynn) has a broken leg. Tensions rise when it turns out...

Mimicking the infamous Jaws poster, complete with Megalodon-sized shark about to chomp on an unsuspecting female swimmer, poster artwork for director James Nunn’s Jetski – renamed Shark Bait – offers up exactly as it says in its new title, complete with Noughties-style effects. Fans of shark thrillers will be pleasantly entertained by it, but do not expect anything more innovative to reinvigorate the genre, first born out of Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1976 film.
A bunch of carefree teens – Nat (Holly Earl), Tom (Jack Trueman), Milly (Catherine Hannay), Tyler (Malachi Pullar-Latchman) and Greg (Thomas Flynn) – are on their spring break weekend at a unidentified Spanish-speaking location. After a night of drinking and partying they continue their fun by jumping on two parked jetskis in the early hours, long before opening time and with none of the seaside residents up and around to witness their hedonistic act.
Far out to sea, they decide...

Shark movies. What to say about the genre? Well, one thing you can say is that genre films featuring sharks terrorising humans are certainly prolific in their production, it feels like every month we get another shark movie of some kind. However, at this rate, there’s not many stories left to tell about shark versus man so filmmakers need the extra special something to make their movie stand out… So what does Shark Bait offer?
Well for a start it comes from director James Nunn, the British filmmaker behind a slew of great low-budget action movies over the years. He originally exploded on the scene with 2012’s Tower Block, before helming the likes of Green Street 3, Eliminators and One Shot, all starring Scott Adkins; as well as lensing The Marine...

"What's it doing?" "Circling us." Vertical Entertainment has revealed the official trailer for Shark Bait, formerly known as just Jetski, a horror thriller shark movie set in Mexico. Yet another of these "haven't we seen this before?" stuck-on-the-water shark movies (also see: The Requin). This has been set for release in May in just a few weeks, which is why they're pushing everything right now to build up some hype. A group of friends enjoying a weekend steal a couple of jetskis racing them out to sea, ending up in a horrific head-on collision. They struggle to find a way back after the accident with a badly injured friend, then end up drifting into dangerous territory where predators lurk below the surface. This "British sharksploitation" film stars Holly Earl, Jack Trueman, Catherine Hannay, Malachi Pullar-Latchman, & Thomas Flynn. This really looks like every other cheap shark movie recently, but as usual...

Production is underway in Malta on survival thriller “Jetski,” which is being shopped globally by Altitude Film Sales.
Directed by James Nunn, best known for British thriller “Tower Block” (2012) and actioner “Eliminators” (2016), the film follows a group of spring-breakers enjoying a weekend in Mexico. After a big night of partying on the beach until dawn, the friends steal a couple of jetskis and take them out to sea, but end up in a horrific head-on collision.
After one of the jetskis sinks, the group finds itself stranded two miles from land on one remaining, broken-down jetski, and struggling with a badly injured friend. With no clear way home and predators circling in the choppy waters below, the true horror begins.
The film, which is written by Nick Saltrese (“A Prayer Before Dawn”), will be shopped to buyers at the American Film Market, which runs virtually from Nov. 9-13. Originally set...
