As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

I don't usually write reviews but I wanted to comment on this one.A lot of the reviews I've read for "The Travellers" aka "The Hunting" are quite harsh. I don't think it is being judged in the context of it being a low budget film.I would not say that it's fantastic but taking everything into account (the money, the cast and crew) it was entertaining with some gripping scenes.Giving it a very low rating is a little unfair in my opinion, it can't be compared to a slick Hollywood blockbuster. Maybe these reviewers are only used to watching that sort of movie.

On the face of this film, it starts out looking like a UK version of Deliverance (sans the banjo duel). About halfway through the film it develops into something quite different.Some of the bad reviews here have commented that this was a poor Boxing film. It does have ONE boxing scene, but that doesn't make it a boxing film. Another reviewer made a similar comment about motorcycles—look people, just because there's an element of something in a film doesn't mean that film is about that one thing for which you seem to be looking. Honestly I think those critics should stick to their day job because obviously they don't know the first thing about film.This is not a big budget production, but I think the final product is on par with most of what's coming out of Hollywood these days—no worse and no better. It won't win any awards for cinematography, but neither does it abuse the camera in trying to tell the story as do so many low budget films.There was a bit more gore than suits my taste, more than I thought the story needed, but still it was a decent watch. If you are looking for a boxing film, or a motorcycle film, or Deliverance UK style, you will be disappointed. If you go into it without those expectations, you might actually enjoy it.

Sorry, but this film is awful. I really did want to like it. After all, its British, has motorbikes in it and even Charley Boorman - with so much going for it, its a real pity that it was so dire....I gave it one point for Charley, one for the bikes and two for the surprise bit in the story -no, I didn't see it coming, so it does rate a couple of points for that. But overall the plot was non-existent, the acting was dreadful and neither Charley nor the bikes were in it after the first five minutes anyway. (Actually, I wonder why Charley Boorman was in it - what on earth was he thinking about? Maybe they should have hired him as one of the bikers?) The fighting scene was OK but not really my cup of tea.All things considered, I must say I agree with 'Silly Sausage' on this one.

For the first 15 or 20 minutes this looked every inch a no budget, student project. If you were watching it on DVD or TV you might even give up on it. Don't.The film improves dramatically as it goes on.It adds tension, better characterisation and a reasonable slice of horror too.There is a cracking bare knuckle fight scene, something that no film about travellers would seem to be without. The performances are mixed, but certainly most of the characters are believable, hinting at a depth beyond their on screen actions. On the balance a film worth watching. Give it a go, but stick with it!
