Elizabeth Blake-Thomas, an acclaimed filmmaker from Britain, directs the intense and relentless revenge thriller Hunt Club, which delves deep into the disturbing depths of toxic masculinity. Academy Award winner Mena Suvari, known for her outstanding performance in American Beauty, delivers a captivating portrayal as the formidable lead.
This star-studded, action-packed thriller, known for its unyielding violence, will have its UK premiere this summer through Plaion Pictures. Alongside Suvari, the film features screen legend Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers), Will Peltz (Unfriended), and Maya Stojan (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D).
The story revolves around a group of men preparing for an adventurous weekend of extreme hunting, where the chance to win a $100,000 prize entices them. However, the stakes turn out to be far greater than anyone could have imagined.
Cassandra (Suvari), a resilient mother grappling with difficult times, finds herself at a loss when her daughter goes missing. Just as things seem bleak, Tessa (Stojan), a tough-talking woman, enters Cassandra's life, bringing a glimmer of hope. Yet, an "unexpected" encounter with two men, Carter (Van Dien) and his son Jackson (Peltz), is about to shatter their world.
When Cassandra is invited to join the hunt, enticed by the opportunity to win the prize money, she eagerly accepts. However, upon arriving at the island, she soon realizes that this hunt is anything but ordinary. There is a dark secret lurking beneath the surface, as terrified young women have been lured there to become the ultimate prey, hunted and brutally killed by sadistic hunters.
But it doesn't take long for the men to realize that they have underestimated the strength and resilience of the women. As the situation takes an unexpected turn, the hunters become the hunted.
Prepare for a chilling and gripping climax as vengeance is served ice-cold in this blood-soaked thriller. Immerse yourself in the treacherously dark and shockingly intense world of the Hunt Club.
