Story: "Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don't know where they are -- or how they got there. In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, ruthless elitists gather at a remote location to hunt humans for sport. But their master plan is about to be derailed when one of the hunted, Crystal, turns the tables on her pursuers.
Likes: Right let get one thing straight this film is dumb i do mean dumb and stupid, but in some funny way it kind of entertaining thanks to the incredible acting from Betty Gilpin who play's crystal, she know the film is dumb but she self aware of it and plays to the film straight with the way she acting and face expression to certain situations which make this film entertaining to watch.
While yes the film does have a lot of politic charge more from the Liberal Globalist elite side hunt people for sport, which to be honest have these character deserve to die doing stupid things and not being aware of there surrounds, how every they make a huge mistake in trying to hunt someone they didnt realise is an ex Military solider
The Story is simple and straight forward rich people, hunt people they deem worthless for some sick and twisted game of cat and mouse, in this political game blaming everyone but themself for hunting people which might put some people off watching it.
Acting wise is some what sub par in places while maintaining a steady pace throughout the film, it manages to keep its dark humor with a self awareness of just how dumb and over the top this film is, so while it not the greatness of films, some my like it where other dont so it gonna be a film thats a hit or miss with you really
Dislikes: The write is simplict, straight forward switch your brain off dumb fun which is ok sometimes, trouble is im actually done with all this political crap in films, which is why im not overly fond of this film. It is simply dumb film plain and simple while oddly funny at time with dark humor.
Overall: Dumb self aware film with dark humour

Sex & Nudity: None
Violence & Gore:
- Lots of bloody shootings.
- A young woman is shot in the head, essentially blowing it apart; bloody and shocking.
- A man has a grenade shoved down his pants; we see him explode into a bloody mess.
- Many people are brutally shot to death at point blank range; the goriest of which features a man's head being blown almost completely off.
- A man is stabbed in the neck with a pen and then in the eye with a stiletto heel. The stiletto is pulled out and gruesomely pulls his eye out with it.
- The deaths come quickly and brutally (though sometimes darkly humorous as the tone is tinged with black comedy).
