I've got a really fun monster movie for you to check out today called The Hunt. One of the things that I like about it most is its use of practical effects for the creature. Most films we see these days, even the short ones, use CGI effects. So it was great to see something different in that aspect.
The story follows a father and son who go out on a hunting trip, and things don't go over too well for them when their mobile home is invaded by some kind of monster. The short was directed by Spencer Estabrooks, and I think you'll all enjoy it. ...

And now he's back with a new short titled The Hunt. Insurrection Films Inc. presents The Hunt, directed by Spencer Estabrooks.The short film stars Chris Potter and Rohan Campbell and features creature design by Bleeding Art Industries.
