Hunted

In a tense forest chase, a woman on the run becomes the target of two relentless killers. After escaping a dangerous encounter, Eve must rely on instinct and wit as the woods close in and the silhouettes of her pursuers loom. With only intermittent light through the trees, she dodges traps and decoys, trying to mislead The Handsome Guy and his partner The Accomplice. The hunt pushes her to edge where fear clashes with resolve. The film builds claustrophobic suspense through practical stunts and tight framing, hinting at dark pasts and hidden motives without divulging every twist. The result is a lean cat and mouse thriller that keeps the pace brisk.

Directed by Vincent Paronnaud, with Léa Pernollet credited as creator, Hunted is an original screenplay rather than an adaptation. Paronnaud uses a lean forest chase, focusing on practical effects, athletic performances, and tight editing to sustain tension.

Reception and themes focus on survival under pressure and the psychology of pursuit. Eve is pushed to rely on wits and nerve as isolation, darkness, and the threat of predators turn the forest into a pressure cooker. The film probes trust, fear, and resilience.
