We are so used to fear the supernatural, imaginary creatures, unexisting monsters, and all sorts of demons and beings from other planets that sometimes we forget one of the biggest threats has always been here, in nature. Wild animals have been one of the arch enemies of mankind for centuries, although now we feel safe in our big grey cities. They are the dominant ones in their territory, the wildness. And when humans step in the deep woods, they are at the mercy of their fangs and claws. I will always be in team wolf, it’s an animal I admire. Its loyalty to the pack, the instinct of survival and protection of the territory, they are super-dogs. But I guess the family of humans also have the right to fight for their lives, with their fancy guns and machines, no?
In horror and thriller Hunter Hunter (2020), Joseph and his family live in the remote wilderness as fur trappers. But their tranquility is threatened when they think they are being hunted by the return of a rogue wolf, and Joseph leaves them behind to track it.
