The Hunters

Few surprises

Originally published on metropolis.co.jp on April 2012

A police detective and Iraq war veteran with possible PTSD (director Chris Briant) suspects that a gloomy old gothic fort is the key to the recent disappearances of dozens of people from a nondescript, vaguely European town (made in Luxembourg). But when he investigates, he finds that getting out of the place is a lot harder than getting in, and that armed psychos are trying to kill him. Stylish but fairly incoherent human-hunting euro-thriller offers few surprises, and throws in Glee star Dianna Argon as an all but irrelevant love interest, probably so they can put her face on the poster.
