The 18+ thriller Night of the Hunted from France brutally plays with its helpless protagonist in a seemingly hopeless situation and will soon be released as a Limited Collector’s Edition in a Mediabook.
For Night of the Hunted, director Franck Khalfoun and producer Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) teamed up again after their Maniac remake and had also previously worked together on the disturbing horror classic High Tension. Last year, the result was another suspenseful shocker that keeps you on your toes with devious violence against helpless victims
The psychological thriller, which will be released directly for home cinema in Germany in March, is now available from Amazon as a Limited Collector’s Edition in Mediabook in 4K Ultra-HD with additional Blu-ray. In addition to the movie with 95 minutes running time, there is also a 24-page booklet as bonus material.

The unknown gunman makes contact with her via a walkie-talkie lying nearby and the distraught Alice tries to find out why he wants to kill her and how she can escape from this situation …
