This movie is full of your typically dumb female characters. Characters that would rather die then defend themselves. Not an ounce of self preservation in them. The movies not bad, just get tire of these weak girls, who only find courage in the last 10 minutes of the film.

The most dangerous streaming movie
BandSAboutMovies16 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
A group of friends is torn apart when they become part of the most dangerous game - two hunters who hunt humans for profit. They're given ten minutes to hide and then the real hunt begins.
American Hunt was being filmed when Blumhouse began the casting process for The Hunt, which was infamously canceled and has been shelved indefinitely in the wake of today's political climate. Then again, that was a $15 million dollar studio film and this is a direct to streaming film. American Hunt is the only one of the two that you can actually see. For now.
This film was directed by Aaron Mirtes, who was behind such films as Curse of the Nun and Clowntergeist.
It's more of a backwoods slasher than a highly politicized action thriller, despite the PR campaign to sell it. That doesn't mean that it isn't worth a watch.

Who the hell is getting movies made like this?

There must be someone somewhere who gave their millennial kid some money to make a low budget, horribly written, horribly acted spin off on the most dangerous game.
In a world where electric fences spark when wooden sticks are touched to them are the absolute least of the unbelievability. I found myself asking... Is this what the tide pod eating, condom snorting generation has come up with as actual cinema? Was this a class project?
If you want to laugh at bad acting, plots, and a complete lack of knowledge on a topic, give it a try

I'm sorry. I try to be positive about movies but this is incredibly bad. I worked it out from the beginning that the pastor was being duped or had something to do with it. I knew the geeky girl who didn't like hunting animals would come out on top! Acting bad! Script Bad! Sorry American Hunt. We laughed all the way through this film!
Not even close to being a good movie!

This is one of the worst scripted movies that I have seen. The producers should call it " films by challenged people" . Do not waist your time watching it!
Baboons hunting a squirrel with a slingshot would have been more entertaining!!!!
My Review Of "American Hunt"
ASouthernHorrorFan12 January 2020
"American Hunt" is really low budget, which isn't a bad thing. What is bad is the total lack of substantive material available. The film kicks off with killers hunting people. There is no thrill to the moment, no atmosphere and little fanfare besides a stereotypical caricature psycho impression. It really let me know what to expect, and what not to expect.
There is a lot that is wrong with "American Hunt". Mostly the fact that the story is only developed in the most surface way. There is no depth or real character development. That being said, I was impressed by several of the cast's performances. The real problem was with the mediocre dialog and the fact that the scenes weren't given enough breadth to fully form.
The horror could have saved it all in this film, and it almost did. Right up till the choices made to pull off the kill sequences. Poor CGI options, ridiculous interpretations of death moments, and an overall lack of restraint from a directorial position makes it impossible to enjoy the horror aspects in "American Hunt".
Overall "American Hunt" is a disappointment. I almost liked it, at times even finding it entertaining. Unfortunately most scenes are hindered by bad editing, poor effects or just a lack of character building. And as I say all this, I have to admit that I found the ending, you know - that final girl moment, satisfying. Right until the silly tease that the story isn't over just yet.

American Idiots
tikitim-7652016 January 2022
Omg! So human hunters give you 15 minutes to get a head start before they kill you and you decide to run for minute or two and then just stop and have a conversation about why this is happening? Yeah that's not very smart. I couldn't even finish watching it but the three American idiots deserve to die in my book.
Pretty good suspense slasher/thriller
willywill5810 December 2019
While this movie is clearly very, very low budget, I didn't necessarily find that to be an issue in terms of storytelling. I do blame the marketing team for dubbing it "the most controversial horror release of 2019," because it's definitely not that. It's more of what you see is what you get. It's a quick, easy watch with good twists and turns. Suspense level is great, and actors do a great job with what they're given.
A successful low-budget slasher that does the best with what it has
aolive2810 December 2019
I went in with very low expectations, and the opening scene sets the tone to know what to expect, and yet, there are still good twists and turns. Dang good fun! A fast watch. (stay for post-credits!) The music is great, but the special effects are not. Characters are used really well, and the lead cast is committed and far better than what you usually see in low-budget horror. I was pleasantly surprised with Taylor Novak and Lacy Hartselle's performances.
Kept us on Edge...
