chrisbrown79 I don't usually write reviews but I wanted to comment on this one.A lot of the reviews I've read for "The Travellers" aka "The Hunting" are quite harsh. I don't think it is being judged in the context of it being a low budget film.I would not say that it's fantastic but taking everything into account (the money, the cast and crew) it was entertaining with some gripping scenes.Giving it a very low rating is a little unfair in my opinion, it can't be compared to a slick Hollywood blockbuster. Maybe these reviewers are only used to watching that sort of movie.

sideshowmike82 I really wanted this to be great. Loved the idea when I heard about it, setting up the Travellers as the villains (as expected) and then telling a different story. If only it had been told better. There are still some great bits. The Traveller characters presence is powerful with Dean Jagger and Celia Muir both strong in their roles. The fight scene almost feels real and there are some genuine thrills and spills. Disappointing was the production value - sure, not everyone has the big Hollywood bucks but I wish just a little more had been spent on this film. The script wavers and so do some of the performances, a lot of friends doing favours in this as opposed to 'actors' I suspect. I think some of the films messages about who is real bad-guy, and prejudices toward others are at times overstated and at others maybe understated, its a scrappy story. but the message is there. The film plays off its stereotypes for the most part quiet well with the most stereotypical character being the psycho 'hoodie' city-boy, nutcase Andy Baxtor who you just love to hate! The low HMV price tag on this is welcome but also denotes a certain instant lack of money spent on the film. These guys were almost certainly film students and it shows but worth a gander if you like a bit of splat and tw*t action. Please someone make an Irish Traveller Boxing flick with some money behind it!

Ashley_Turner I don't understand the bad reviews on this film maybe the wrong crowd are watching this, if your looking for a Hollywood style "fighter" big budget & big stars this is not for you, This film is a great movie for any British Indie film fan. Myself rate this film high along with Rise of the foot soldier, Dead Mans Shoes, This is England, Eden Lake, Bronson. If you like those films you will love this. The characters are great, The fight scenes and effects are pretty immense and realistic compared to the usual Hollywood style scenes (yawn). Yes its a low budget film welcome to "indie". I hope more people will watch this film and see how original and very British this film is. If you love British cinema go and see this it never gets boring, and your always wondering what is going to happen next. The climax doesn't let you down either. I say more like this & less of Hollywood trash please!

atsalter having enquired how much this film cost to make, I am amazed it got onto the screen at all.If Kris McManus can make a film like this on his budget, what does the future hold?? Yep, it was a bit wobbly at the start, but the cameo appearance of Charlie Boorman can't have hurt, a gesture for which I admire him, there can't have been much money in it for him! Some of the scenes were so absorbing that you completely forgot what the quality lacked. Violent, yes, but not gratuitously so. I found the screenplay excellent, and rather more convincing than some of the high budget, convoluted stuff you can see. I thought the atmosphere of the film was brilliantly achieved. The threatening seediness of the bare knuckle boxing scene had me on the edge of my seat. The hairs stood up on my neck when the "Pikeys" appeared to do justice to the bikers who had defaced their caravan. Slow start perhaps, but it amply repays perseverance. The camera quality wasn't that great, but the cameraman had enough skill to compensate to a large degree.To my great surprise, I was really impressed.
