Overview

THE HUNTER is a tense, atmospheric survival thriller about obsession, identity, and what happens when the roles of predator and prey begin to blur.

Set deep within a vast and unforgiving wilderness, the story follows a solitary professional tracker hired to locate a missing man believed to have vanished during a remote expedition. Known for his unmatched skills and emotional detachment, the Hunter approaches the job like all others: methodically, efficiently, and without sentiment.

As he pushes deeper into the terrain, signs suggest the missing man may not be lost at all—but deliberately erasing himself. The forest becomes a labyrinth of false trails, traps, and psychological games, each one designed to test the Hunter’s instincts and endurance. Supplies dwindle. Communication fails. And the sense of being watched grows impossible to ignore.

What begins as a search transforms into a duel.

The Hunter realizes his quarry is as skilled as he is—and may have been preparing for this confrontation for years. Each step forward tightens the noose, forcing the Hunter to confront not only the environment, but the parts of himself he has long suppressed: guilt, pride, and a growing fear that he may be hunting a reflection of his own violent nature.

As the wilderness strips both men down to their rawest instincts, the film builds toward a brutal, intimate reckoning where survival is no longer about escape—but about understanding who truly deserves to walk out alive.

THE HUNTER is a story of isolation and obsession, where the true danger is not the forest, but the moment a man realizes he is no longer sure which side of the hunt he’s on.
