Controversial thriller The Hunt has landed a new streaming home in the UK.
The 2020 movie, which stars GLOW'S Betty Gilpin, Oscar-winner Hilary Swank and American Horror Story's Emma Roberts, follows a group of elites who kidnap and hunt working class people.
Fans in the UK and Ireland wanting to catch the film are now in luck, as The Hunt is now available to watch on Prime Video after being added yesterday.
The movie was called "an intense, over-the-top satire of partisan politics taken to its most dangerous extreme" by Variety, while IndieWire noted that it contains an "unhinged first act".
The Hunt was originally due for release in 2019 but was pushed back by six months due to mass shootings in the US.

He added: "We think that people who see it are going to enjoy it and this may be a way to shine a light on a very serious problem in the country, which is that we're divided. And we think the movie may actually, ironically, bring people together."
The Hunt is available to stream now in the UK and Ireland on Prime Video.
