There’s a good deal of gory mayhem in director Craig Zobel’s The Hunt, a controversial horror-satire that was robbed of a full theatrical release and instead released to Premium VOD last month. You can currently rent Blumhouse’s The Hunt for 48 hours for $19.99, and it’s next coming to standard Digital on May 26th, 2020 and then DVD and Blu-ray on June 9th, 2020.
Ahead of those releases, Oscar-winning VFX company Pixomondo (Hugo, “Game of Thrones”) has just sent over a VFX Breakdown video that we’re debuting here on BD today.
The video shows how some of The Hunt‘s bloodiest and goriest scenes were created, with the various gore gags including a shoe to the eye, an arrow to the throat, a bullet to the head and, well, that particularly gruesome bit you see above – an image that officially entered the Horror Hall of Fame when it was featured on the cover of Fangoria’s latest issue.
Check out the gory VFX Breakdown below!
In the subversive satire, “A group of elites gather for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt ordinary Americans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of The Hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin), knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off one by one as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman (Hilary Swank) at the center of it all.”
