The Wild Hunt (2009)
5/10
Has its moments
15 November 2013
Erik Magnusson (Ricky Mabe) goes searching for his girlfriend Lyn (Kaniehtiio Horn) who is fully immersed in a Live Action Role Playing game out in the woods. Only things get weird as Erik falls further into the game.

It's an interesting indie with a few interesting moments. Where else could you learn that "Elves are gay". It's odd. A more compelling lead actor would be worthwhile. Ricky Mabe plays a love sick puppy, but can't create a bigger character.

The tone keeps changing. There is always a bit of comedy as the LARP world keeps confronting the modern world. That's worth a few laughs. But then there are people who take it so seriously that it makes the whole thing awkward. It's hard to know if this is a horror film, an action movie, a romance, or a comedy. I appreciate this is a full length indie from first time director Alexandre Franchi. It has problems, but it has its moments.
