The controversial horror that premiered CANCELED in theaters is coming to the Netflix catalog…

In August 2020, Damon Lindelof was hanging wet bathing suits on the porch when his son came out with his phone and delivered an astonishing message: “The president just tweeted about your movie.

Lindelof, creator of HBO’s “Watchmen,” was sure Donald Trump had heard of the first successful test. But then “my heart sank, because I felt like no matter what, he wasn’t tweeting about our movie. He was tweeting about what someone told him that our movie was.

The reason? “The Hunt” centers on a group of “elite” liberals who hunt and kill “deplorable” conservatives kidnapped solely for sport.

After Trump’s tweets, the film had its theatrical release temporarily delayed. And after the white supremacist terrorist attacks in August 2019 with political speeches blaming the media for the violence, Universal Pictures and Blumhouse decided to cancel the film.

The release came months later, but the film flopped at the box office.

Two years later, the film finally arrives on Netflix’s Brazilian streaming – which is set to premiere on October 1.

Check out the reviews:

“’The Hunt’ is not a great satire or even a great movie. It’s an impulsive, brutal horror-thriller that turns into revenge, while mocking everyone with a big goofy kick.” Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

“‘The Hunt’ turns out to be much smarter – not more extreme – than most studio horror films, while its political angle at least encourages debate, suggesting there’s more to this hot potato. just a provocation.” – Peter Debruge, Variety

“It’s a complicated form of catharsis, condemning recognizable scoundrels on both left and right. And yet, there’s a playful terror to its depiction of people being arrested for the stupid things they tend to type. – Darren Franich, Entertainment Weekly

“It’s ragged and tiring stuff, weirdly more frustrating and done by some actors who are excellent.” –Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
