Speaking of thrillers that play at the edge of horror– Hunting Daze stands out as a peculiar, yet captivating piece. Directed by the Canadian filmmaker Annick Blanc, who also co-produced and wrote the screenplay, this film is a testament to the blurry lines between genres, offering an experience that is as haunting as it is elusive.
At the heart of Hunting Daze is Nina (Nahéma Ricci), a young and spirited stripper who finds herself marooned in a northern Quebec forest town. Luckily, she’s able to convince a group of five men on a bachelor party/hunting trip to put her up for a few days while she waits for a bus back to the city. Within this exclusively male domain- filled with dumb jokes, silly games, lots of partying, and wolf pack philosophy- Nina discovers a surprising sense of acceptance. However, the arrival of a mysterious stranger threatens to upend the group dynamic,...
