Directed by Louie Gibson, son of acclaimed actor and director, Mel Gibson. Happy Hunting follows Warren, a degenerate drifter, suffering from debilitating alcohol withdrawals on a daily basis. On his way down to Mexico, he becomes stranded in Bedford Flats, a one-horse town nestled deep in the American desert. It was a once-prosperous hunting community that has been reduced to an impoverished dust bowl. Unfortunately for Warren, it turns out that the town’s pastime is rounding up drifters and hunting them as part of an elaborate sporting event. To make matters worse, he’ll go into alcoholic withdrawal unless he finds a way to stay loaded. It all builds to a blood-soaked, live-or-die showdown deep in the desert. (Umbrella Entertainment)

That was bad. A prime example of how to get the absolute minimum out of an appealing theme. An event where hunters hunt victims somewhere in the desert sounded tempting, but when half the characters die within five minutes in such an uninteresting and unoriginal way, you realise that the potential here will be wasted. The main character is also an unlikeable alcoholic, so no empathy, and all the deaths end with a sniper shooting, so rather uninteresting for horror fans. Unfortunately, the film is also tedious. 35%.
