159 - Men and Their Games - Hunted (2020)

Published: April 26, 2021, 10 a.m.

Welcome back to Fright School! So we're having technical difficulties! We've managed to get through a year of the pandemic remotely recording with almost no issues and now all of a sudden things keep happening. Unfortunately, most of our catch up conversation just disappeared somehow. Boo! However, our conversation on HUNTED, much like it's main character Eve, managed to survive the bloody mess. We are finishing up our LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD trip with this Shudder exclusive film. We talk about how HUNTED flips some of the standard LRRH tropes by making the wolf a symbol of female empowerment and the woods transform from a dangerous place to one of protection and resilience.
