The Hunt is a 2020 American film, variously described as a horror or thriller directed by Craig Zobel and written by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof. The film stars Betty Gilpin, Ike Barinholtz, Emma Roberts and Hilary Swank. Jason Blum serves as a producer under his Blumhouse Productions banner, along with Lindelof. Both Zobel and Lindelof have said that the film serves as a satire on the profound political divide between the American left and right.

The film was originally scheduled for release on September 27, 2019. However, following the Dayton and El Paso mass shootings in early August 2019, Universal Pictures decided to delay the release of the film.

The Hunt was theatrically released in the United States on March 13, 2020. It has received mixed reviews from critics and has grossed $6 million.
