It’s like a mini-Rorschach test.
Is THE HUNT about how white people are the worst? Is it about how our out-of-touch liberal elite literally think of the rest of us as animals, good only for sport? Is it about a LARP gone horribly, horribly wrong? Is it about the main character being crazier than a sh*thouse rat? I could make a case for each of those scenarios, based on that trailer. I admit to being entertained by the uncertainty.

PS: It’s still a strong possibility that the movie will suck, of course.
I’m getting a Westworld meets The Purge 4[?]:Election Year vibe off this thing. This has the potential to thoughtfully examine and send up the excesses of all involved, and so I expect Hollywood to completely whiff on it.

“Hey, I just read the most amazing short story. It’s called “The Most Dangerous Game,” and it’s about people…hunting PEOPLE!”
“Awesome! Let’s make that into a movie! And we’ll inject a bunch of vague political statements so both sides will think we’re talking about the other side!”
“KaCHING!”
It’ll be Super-easy, barely an inconvenience.™
