'Squid Game' star Lee Jung-jae makes his directing debut with 'Hunt'; 'A Wounded Fawn' and 'Blood Relatives' stream on Shudder.
) and his longer career as a producer , his name in the credits of a horror movie has generally been a sign of something special. That’s true yet again with his third feature film, “A Wounded Fawn,” a serial-killer thriller marked by strong performances, a twisty plot, and eye-catching 16mm photography.
Much of the last third of “A Wounded Fawn” is a surreal nightmare, laden with metaphor, which may put off those who are enjoying the movie’s more tightly controlled middle section, which consists of Bruce and Meredith’s increasingly testy dinner date. But the film is really all of a piece in the way it toys with expectations, keeping viewers off-balance. Stevens and company put the audience in the place of both the predator and prey. They’ve built a clever little anxiety-generating machine.
“Squid Game” star Lee makes his directing debut and plays Park Pyong-ho, chief of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency’s Foreign Unit. Jung Woo-sung plays Kim Jung-do, the KCIA’s Domestic Unit chief. When the government learns of a plot to assassinate South Korea’s president — and the reported involvement of a North Korean spy deep undercover within the KCIA — the two units end up investigating the mole separately, because neither wholly trusts the other.
‘Hunt.’ In Korean with English subtitles. Not rated. 2 hours, 5 minutes. Available on VOD; also playing theatrically, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, downtown Los Angeles; CGV Cinemas Buena ParkWriter-director Sean Perry’s dramedy “Dash” is one of the many movies made in the last few years that follow the sometimes strange, sometimes funny, often shocking adventures of ride-share drivers.
