Welcome to the latest installment in our regular Movies You May Have Missed series here on Nerdly, in which I highlight some of, what I think, are the best movies that have flown under the radar of many or have been “forgotten” in the intervening years since its release. This time round its The Hunters, a hunting humans horror “starring” Dianna Agron (remember her? From Glee?) and Nam: Tour of Duty’s Terence Knox.
Stars: Chris Briant, Jay Brown, Steven Waddington, Tony Becker, Terence Knox, Dianna Agron | Written by Michael Lehman | Directed by Chris Briant
Official Synopsis:
An Iraq war veteran, Le Saint, has just started working as a police officer in a small town where many unexplained disappearances of persons have occurred within the last two years. He wants to investigate the cases, but his hot-tempered chief charges him with with the escort of a turn state’s evidence.

The Hunters
Stars: Chris Briant, Jay Brown, Steven Waddington, Tony Becker, Terence Knox, Dianna Agron | Written by Michael Lehman | Directed by Chris Briant
When an increasing number of people are reported missing, but no one makes any moves to investigate, detective LeSaint takes an interest and steps in. What he doesn’t expect is that his superiors don’t seem to be taking the situation very seriously and tell him that people go missing all the time. Ignoring his orders, he decides to investigate further until his leads take him to the mysterious and abandoned Fort Goben where a group of townsfolk spend their weekends hunting. Only their prey aren’t animals.
A co-production of France, Luxembourg and Belgium, from a first time writer and a first time director? And a director who also stars as the films lead no less? That usually doesn’t bode well for any film.

*here be some spoilers.
Director: Chris Briant.
Writer: Michael Lehman.
Cast: Steven Waddington, Tony Becker, Terence Knox and Dianna Agron.
It is a little strange to see actors Tony Becker and Terence Knox reunited after twenty years from their "Tour of Duty" days. They are on the same side again in this European shot thriller. Set in Luxembourg, The Hunters is one of the more unpredictable thrillers to be seen by this reviewer in quite sometime. The use of surreal intercutting shows Briant's strong understanding for showing character's emotions externally and this feature is a must see for thriller fans.
The story begins with Det. Le Saint (Chris Briant). His name is not just a title as Le Saint tries to find the source of several disappearances. His investigation leads him to Fort Goben, a human gaming preserve. Once you are in Goben there is no easy road home. Le...

Newsflash: If you stumble across what appears to be an abandoned fort in the middle of nowhere, do not spend the night there. I don’t care if it’s raining candy-coated body parts outside — kindly step away from the seemingly empty structure and find shelter elsewhere. Of course, if people actually had any common sense whatsoever, we probably wouldn’t have any horror movies. Below you’ll find the trailer and some DVD artwork for director Chris Briant’s “The Hunters”, a promising little flick that hits various media outlets this December. Here’s what you can expect story-wise from this endeavor: Finally coming to a close on their high school years, a group of friends decide to spend time in the one place that was forbidden as kids – the woods. They come upon what they believe is an abandoned fort, until they find the walls dripping with blood...
