“Europe is a tough place. And only the strongest of you will make it there.” Voltage Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for a Belgian horror thriller survival film called The Hunted, made by French filmmaker Louis Lagayette. This seems to be a promo trailer to attract buyers more than for audiences, since there’s no release dates set. After their boat capsizes in the Mediterranean Sea, a group of refugees are rescued by rich Europeans who offer them shelter on an idyllic island. But the miracle soon becomes a nightmare when the saviours turn into ruthless manhunters. So this is a campy modern twist on “The Most Dangerous Game” story, involving refugees who get turned into the prey when they’re taken to a private island. Scary! Starring Lily Banda, Alec Newman, Mylène Jampanoï, Raj Bajaj, Vassilis Koukalani, Aurora Marion, & Daphne Alexander. It’s a bit of a manipulative concept, but the footage also looks like an exploitation film from the 80s so at least they know what they’re going for. Also reminds us of The Hunt film a few years ago.

Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Louis Lagayette’s The Hunted, direct from YouTube:

After their boat capsizes in the Mediterranean Sea, a group of migrants are rescued by rich Europeans taking them onto their yacht, who then offer them shelter on the idyllic island where they’re spending their holidays. But soon, the miracle will turn into a nightmare when the saviors reveal their true intentions and turn into ruthless manhunters. The Hunted is directed by French filmmaker Louis Lagayette, making his second feature film after directing Trendy previously, plus many other short films and the series “Réelle Vie” most recently. The screenplay is written by Jérôme Genevray and Louis Lagayette, from a story by Jérôme Genevray. Produced by Sébastien Delloye, Labina Mitevska, Noor Sadar, François Touwaide. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Voltage Pictures will debut The Hunted sometime in 2024 – no release dates are set yet. Stay tuned for more. First impression?
