Our take
Hunting Grounds follows a mother fleeing her mafia-tied husband and finding shelter that turns dangerous. Expect gun violence, strong profanity, and crime dread. Action-thriller tone for older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
Desperate to find refuge for her children, Chloe Marvino runs away from her Mafia tied husband, and finds shelter in a cabin with a recluse drifter named Jake. But as her husband's henchmen draw closer to her, it turns out that Jake is the biggest enemy of them all.

Talk after watching
