Interesting facts

The Hunted is a 2013 found footage thriller film and the directorial debut of American actor Josh Stewart. Stewart stars in the film and also penned its script. The Hunted had its world premiere on October 10, 2013 at Screamfest and was planned for release on home video on September 9, 2014. The movie casts Stewart along with Ronnie Gene Blevins as two hunters that find themselves becoming quarry for an unknown enemy.

Development

Stewart was first inspired to create The Hunted after having an unnerving experience during a hunting trip in West Virginia. While developing the characters of Jake and Stevie, Stewart tried to make them likable as he felt that hunters in film were "always made out to be the idiots or the rednecks". This clashed with his own perception of what hunters are like, as he hunted frequently while he was growing up.
