Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro recommend this anxiety film on Disney Plus
“Hunted is truly unique” applauds the master of horror on Twitter.
Validated by the master of horror himself! Huntedthe film currently buzzing on Disney Plus, has just received praise from Stephen King.
The writer claims to have seen something truly unique. He writes :
“Brilliant, bold, engaging, frightening. You have to go back more than 60 years, to an episode of The Fourth Dimension called “The Invaders,” to find anything like it. Hunted is truly unique.”
NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU: Brilliant, daring, involving, scary. You have to go back over 60 years, to a TWILIGHT ZONE episode called “The Invaders,” to find anything remotely like it.

A hell of a compliment, confirmed by another specialist in the genre. Guillermo del Toro explains how the film uses Catholic dogma”as a narrative backbone. Because in the original version, Hunted is called “No One Will Save You” and it’s about the heroine.to save herself.”
2) NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU. You will save yourself through this. You can find it in the Book of Job- In Jonah in the whale and in fact in many other religions. The world- the essence of it- is a paradoxical composite of destruction and creation.

He continues his in-depth analysis of the feature film in a tread amazing:
“I think the key is the moment of ‘communion’ through the eucharist of the alien group. It’s profound.”
“The film is about repairing the soul, yes, but then it expands to other levels.” And he specifies: “This narrative aspect was essential to Hitchcock and functions as the backbone of many fairy tales and parables. That’s what Hunted is to me: a parable. A REALLY fun parable. Sunday school has never been so fun “.
4) I would like to expand upon this (as a lapsed institutional Catholic) but I finished my coffee and have my weekend chores to finish. The film is about soul repair, yes- but then it telescopes to other levels. Watch it. Maybe we’ll chat some more.

5) BTW this narrative strand is essential to Hitchcock- and operates as the backbone of many a fairy tale and parable. That is what NOWSY is for me: a parable. A REALLY fun parable. Sunday school was never this fun.
