Reviews
Warhunt is a supernatural-horror-fantasy but don’t go in expecting ground breaking special effects because you won’t really see them. The FX are perfectly fine but they are not those kind of SFX that scream for your attention. The actors all deliver strong, believable performances that make you believe in the characters. The key element of this story is the reaction of the men to both their circumstances and to each other and the actors really make that work. The story works (remember it’s a bit fantasy) and I am happy that I watched it even though Mickey Rourke is barely in story at all. It’s a movie that I would happily recommend to others but might not advise them to purchase it as an addition to their personal film library.
