Our take
Hunting Season is an unrated action thriller about a reclusive father and teen daughter drawn into a criminal revenge plot. Reviews cite torture, stabbings, bloody injuries, gun battles, and a sexualized knife threat. The father-daughter dynamic also raises control issues. Adults only; not suitable for younger teens
Story (may spoil tone)
When a reclusive survivalist and his daughter rescue a mysterious, wounded woman from a river, they become entangled in a deadly web of violence and revenge, forcing them to confront a brutal criminal to survive.
