Travellers (2011)
Four friends set out on a motorcycle adventure weekend, clocking up miles in an attempt to outrun their age and urban lifestyles. After bartering with a local land owner for a place to set up camp, they spend the night reminiscing over their wasted youth. The following morning they spot an ominous looking caravan, and decide to investigate. Within minutes, an idiotic prank leads to a series of brutal events and a deadly race for survival. A modern plunge back into the worlds created by movies such as 'Deliverance' and 'Southern Comfort' but with a gritty British twang. Kidnap, murder and a hidden past are just some of the reasons these four adventurers should have stayed at home. An action thriller that will make you question who the villains really are. You cant outrun what's in your blood.

Sorry, this movie sucks
Absolutely Fantastic
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
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.
On the face of this film, it starts out looking like a UK version of Deliverance (sans the banjo duel). About halfway through the film it develops into something quite different.Some of the bad reviews here have commented that this was a poor Boxing film. It does have ONE boxing scene, but that doesn't make it a boxing film. Another reviewer made a similar comment about motorcycles—look people, just because there's an element of something in a film doesn't mean that film is about that one thing for which you seem to be looking. Honestly I think those critics should stick to their day job because obviously they don't know the first thing about film.This is not a big budget production, but I think the final product is on par with most of what's coming out of Hollywood these days—no worse and no better. It won't win any awards for cinematography, but neither does it abuse the camera in trying to tell the story as do so many low budget films.There was a bit more gore than suits my taste, more than I thought the story needed, but still it was a decent watch. If you are looking for a boxing film, or a motorcycle film, or Deliverance UK style, you will be disappointed. If you go into it without those expectations, you might actually enjoy it.
Basically this film is about a group of guys go on an adventure weekend in the country side with no phones just there bikes and a tent, you do the guessing. There isn't really much of a story to this film, The dialog goes as far as a few swear words and a half arsed convocation, normally stating the obvious. The characters don't even look as if they even no each other at all and the editing and filming is really sloppy, it looks as if someone has put the film together in about half an hour using footage someone has filmed off there phone, mostly mixing random slow mo running scenes with the 2 other characters in the caravan having a good old chat, it looks like 2 different films. But I thought I will carry on and give it a chance and actually I am glad I did because although it didn't get much better the ending is quite good and it did make half of the film make a lot more sense.Some people have compared this film to other great British films such as This is England and Eden lake but I can azure you this is know where near as good as them!!Over all the film was pretty crappy the only good parts was the fight scene and the ending I just wish that someone with half an idea would have made this film into something great but unfortunately no one did and this is the out come. Remember just because the trailer looks good doesn't mean the film is any good!Thanks for reading!
I am not really sure what this film sets out to achieve here. Within the genre this story has been told a million times and a million times it has been told better than here. The plot is all over the place and the main protagonists are hard to watch, maybe it's the poor script or the risible way in which it is delivered...or maybe it's just because I am not a 12 year old. The only surprising thing about this movie is that those stalwarts of useless films do not appear in it, neither Danny Dire (sic) nor Vinnie Jones crop up anywhere, but you half expect them to at any moment with some rather large doses of scene chewing that they excel at. The film is neither gritty nor entertaining and offers little, I defy anyone to sit and watch this tripe and honestly say they have not...as I have just done...wasted a chunk of an evening. Utter PAP.
