The clammy chill that pervades The Hunter, the fourth feature film by the Iranian director Rafi Pitts, seeps under your skin as you wait for its grim, taciturn protagonist to detonate.

The newly-released movie The Grey tracks Liam Neeson's attempt to survive in the Alaskan wilderness, but the the upcoming thriller The Hunter will follow Willem Dafoe as he is tested by another kind of unforgiving landscape: Australia's Tasmanian wilderness.
Dafoe stars as Martin, a mercenary sent to Tasmania to track down and kill a Tasmanian tiger, but becomes embroiled in the problems of his host family, whose catatonic matriarch (Frances O'Connor) has lost her husband. The Hunter opened in Australia in October last year after debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, where it received mixed reviews. But whether the reviews were good or bad, praise was heaped onto Dafoe's focused performance and director Daniel Nettheim's beautiful lensing of Tasmania. With The Hunter receiving its first trailer, audiences can finally get to see for themselves what the critics were talking about.
