Conservative movies just cannot catch a break. If it isn’t one thing it’s another. “The Hunt” came out on Friday the 13th—right as the coronavirus panic kicked into high gear. The theater was sparsely occupied. “The Hunt” starts with a text between an unknown group of people, one of them insulting the president, followed by a call by the others to hunt down people who voted for him at The Manor. This is followed by a group of deplorables led by Betty Gilpin, who are drugged, kidnapped, and set down on a field, at which point liberal elites led by...

Joker: Joaquin Phoenix walks out of interview after controversial question about real-life violence Phoenix was asked by The Telegraph if he thought particular moments in the film "might perversely end up inspiring exactly the kind of people it's about, with potentially tragic results". Instead of answering, the actor walked out. The debate over violence in film has been prevalent in recent months following a series of mass shootings in the US. Last month, Universal pulled the release of new thriller The Hunt, a film following 12 red-state strangers who wake up in a clearing and realise they’re being hunted by...

SNIP “If I believed this film could incite violence, I wouldn’t have made it,” he wrote in an email to Variety. He also said he was devastated by the shootings and agreed with the decision to not release the film after he said it had been misinterpreted. “I was devastated by going to sleep to El Paso and waking up to Dayton,” Craig Zobel said. “These types of moments happen far too often. In the wake of these horrific events, we immediately considered what it meant for the timing of our film. Once inaccurate assumptions about the content and intent...

A script, believed to be for canceled Universal Pictures movie The Hunt has reportedly leaked and appears to show that outrage over the film and its politically charged plot was misplaced. Act one of the film depicts liberal elites using social media posts by Trump supporters as a means to target them for kidnapping. The pro-Trump people are taken away to an enclosed preserve where elites begin to systematically murdering the Trump people in a human hunting campaign. But act two reportedly features one of the Trumpers (actress Betty Gilpin) turning the tables on the liberals and hunting and killing them, instead. Essentially...

For the past few days, since reading and watching news about the film The Hunt, (now apparently canceled or delayed), I’ve been planning to write a piece focusing on the screenplay’s kill list of “deplorable” American conservatives. My initial primary resource was the official movie trailer itself. Now, in a two minute movie trailer, nothing is included by chance, not even one frame. Halfway through, a bulletin board is shown with photos of the deplorables who have been kidnapped for the hunt depicted in the movie. You will note that along with an evil rhino hunter and a tiki-torch-marching...

Hollywood hates conservatives so much that it planned to release The Hunt, a movie about a group of liberal elitists killing 12 unlucky “deplorables” for sport. In the movie, the hunters travel to an exotic vacation spot where they attempt to kill their unlucky conservative prey. The premise of this sick and twisted movie is so outrageous that advertisements were banned by ESPN, a very liberal network. It was set for release on September 27; however, the backlash was so intense that Universal Pictures decided to “cancel our plans to release the film.” With the announcement, conservatives scored a rare...

Universal Studios has canceled the release of its violent new R-rated massacre movie, “The Hunt,” for now, but the fact it even was made shows we’ve reached a dangerous new point in our political culture. You have to wonder what twisted minds would dream up this liberal fantasy of jet-setting elites hunting down conservatives like vermin. “They’re not human beings” the Hillary Swank character says at one point, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “The Hunt,” originally titled “Red State vs. Blue State,” is a sign of where irrational Trump hatred has taken us. It’s what the left is doing in...

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 9, 2019 The consensus on social media is that he’s talking about the movie -- “The Hunt.”If you missed this post last night about the movie and the disingenuous attempts to spin it as biased against “deplorables,” dive in.

I’m only going by the trailer in insisting that it’s not but that’s more than most of its critics seem to be going on. This passage from THR’s write-up of the movie, whose ads were pulled after the El Paso and Dayton shootings, is making the rounds:

However, the report indicates that Hollywood still plans to release the film on Sept. 27 in theaters....
