THE 7TH HUNT is an indie action/horror/thriller from Australia that's just as pitiful as most films that this genre throws up. It concerns a poorly-written bunch of characters who are kidnapped and taken to a remote location, only to be released and hunted by a gang of serial killers with their own individual personalities and methods.In essence, it's a HOSTEL copy but lacking that film's disturbing content and surprisingly excellent direction. The actors have the most unrealistic reactions ever, the sound effects are too noisy, and the whole thing is violently unrealistic. A waste of time, in other words.

For a low budget film, this one really packs a punch. There is enough blood to make the audience feel the character's pain. This film is dark and moody, with a concept that is truly disturbing. What happens in this film makes it a psychological thriller that will stay with you. The characters all have motivations for what they are doing, and the victims are a bunch of unique people. They all act as you would expect in this situation, which helps the audience empathise with them, feel their pain and frustration. The film plays out with twists and turns that are both believable and unexpected. Despite a slow pace at the start, the film picks up speed once the violence begins. This makes for a buildup of tension that drives the story to its conclusion. A brutal exposition of what people are capable of doing to other people.

I love watching indie/low budget horror flicks, but this I couldn't even finish watching in one sitting.No redeeming qualities whatsoever. I know how hard it is to get these made, then distributed, but it simply wasn't that original or had any likable characters. Just victims and killers. We learn very little about the would be victims and then, they just start getting tortured.I'm sure some folks will like this, but the moment the one girl gets stabbed while helplessly being tied up I stopped watching AND I never do that. Honest. I did finish the movie the next day, but it got so unoriginal that I fast-forwarded most of it just to see who would make it till the end. Sorry to be so harsh on this film but it just wasn't scary or entertaining. Just my opinion.

A worthwhile horror/thriller that is more complex than just a killer knocking off victims for no discernible reason, too many low budget horror films lack a solid reason more than just wrong place, wrong time.The story is more psychological than just cold blooded murder, and the victims are not innocent victims being slaughtered, each one has been studied and found lacking in some way.The killers have a method to their killing and seem chillingly convinced of their own rightness in what they do. There was gore, but the best thing is that it wasn't over done.The blood-letting was used effectively. I thought the whole ride was pretty entertaining.
