A controversial movie about privileged vacationers hunting “deplorables” for sport is ruffling feathers more than a month before its scheduled release and after tragic mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.
“The Hunt” is billed as a satire that follows wealthy thrill-seekers taking a private jet to a five-star resort where they embark on a “deeply rewarding” expedition that involves hunting down and killing designated humans. The Hollywood Reporter reported on Tuesday that “Universal is re-evaluating its strategy for the certain-to-be-controversial satire" following the shootings after ESPN reportedly pulled a trailer for the film that had been previously cleared to air on the sports network.
“The violent, R-rated film from producer Jason Blum's Blumhouse follows a dozen MAGA types who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked for sport by elite liberals,” THR’s Kim Masters wrote. “It features guns blazing along with other ultra-violent killings as the elites pick off their prey.”

And they talk about reducing the hate and not triggering people to kill? Really? This is so stupid. Why do these people never seem to suffer consequences for what they say and do?
How is it a “blockbuster” if it hasn’t been released yet?
But that’ll be okay because it’s against Trumper’s ....
Pretty good discussion here: https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3769991/posts?q=1&;page=1
But we are the haters.
Imagine the outrage over a film featuring hunting minorities that portrays the hunters as anything but totally depraved would go over.
All I’d say to them is - “Be careful what you wish for, snowflakes...”
It sounds like the MAGA types are the protagonists and the leftist elites are like Jigsaw from Saw. I mean, I don’t believe that’s the intent, but it sounds like a typical horror setup.
It will really get “satirical” when people start throwing bricks though their windows.
Saw the trailer it looks good.
Nothing on the trailer about "satire."
Not one word.
But there is this, Genres: Action | Horror | Thriller

“Why do these people never seem to suffer consequences for what they say and do?”
Because we never make them feel any pain.
Pretty simple, really.
P
No words.
Totally kicks ass.
This is what they want. It’s a message to Antifa and Leftists terrorist groups to commit violence.
Depends on who wins in the end.
I read that the elite hunters get their butts handed to them, the deplorables win, and they live happily ever after.
Interesting that the left accuse the right of pushing hate and division. They lie about who is doing what.
ALL LIBERAL DEMOCRATS are VILE, EVIL, VICIOUS, LYING DESTROYERS of Good People!!! SHUN THEM!! They are DANGEROUS to SOCIETY!
Wasn’t Rob Reiner just blaming President Trump the other day for the violence occurring in this country? Obviously he thinks this movie is A-OK.
