‘The Hunt’ VFX Breakdown Video Highlights the Film’s Goriest Moments [Exclusive]
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.”

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
