Horror Weekly News: Night of the Hunted to stream on Shudder. Heather Graham gets swapped in Suitable Flesh.

 

What would you do to survive? Would you consider giving up your morals in order to stay alive?

Shudder’s newest thriller NIGHT OF THE HUNTED will have you sitting at the edge of your seat and make you think twice before entering a gas station in the middle of nowhere. 

In the trailer that was released recently, we see a young woman called Alice and her friend John stop at a gas station. The two may be in a relationship and based on the first scene of the trailer, there is definite tension between them. 

Alice is perusing the items at the store and gets a coffee. John is busy fueling his car and notices a billboard that says GODISNOWHERE. Alice is in the religious items section and sees a board with a bible verse on it. However, the sign has blood splatters on it. 

Horrified, Alice tries to get out of the store only to be shot on the shoulder. We then see Alice struggling to stop the bleeding and making makeshift bandages. 

Whoever the shooter is, has a lot of bullets to waste. Alice isn’t allowed to call John as her phone is shot at. Then it is the random items around the store that are shot at. 

Eventually she gets her hands on a radio walkie-talkie only for John to finally walk in wondering why Alice is still not back from her shopping and if she was planning to get him something. 

Clueless John, is immediately shot and Alice freaks out. She uses the radio to call for help only to be asked who does she think she is. Her beliefs are challenged before she is made to believe that no help is coming. 

In the trailer, we get to see more people getting shot and Alice tying up her hair as she prepares for the longest night of her life. She must use all that she knows to get out of this situation alive. 

NIGHT OF THE HUNTED looks like an interesting, tense but thrilling movie to watch. 

The movie stars Camilla Rowe, Jeremy Scippio, and Aleksander Popovic. 

The movie is written by Rubén Ávila Calvo, Glen Freye, Franck Khalfoun, and David R.L. 

Directed by Franck Khalfoun, NIGHT OF THE HUNTED will stream on Shudder from the 20th of October.
