The Hunt has a 90-minute run time, is presented in a 1.78:1 widescreen aspect ratio, and has been enhanced for 16:9 TVs. 
Sound is offered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo. The DVD has the standard menu, including scene selections, audio set up, and special features. The last of these has the film’s theatrical trailer and a 20-minute film titled The Hunt Chronicles. The Chronicles include commentary from executive producer Gray Frederickson, who explains the intricacies of keeping the “small” $80,000 film on budget despite filming in the woods in Oklahoma in the winter — impressively, they were able to finish the picture on schedule.
Co-writer and producer de la Luz explains trying to keep the budget to under $100,000 and utilizing digital technology and editing to do so. Danny Martin, co-writer and producer, explains more background and behind the scenes of the film, and all the main actors also give their two cents about the film and their experiences during the shoot.
Part Sci-Fi, part thriller, part conspiracy theory, The Hunt delivers thrills and chills without relying on mega-star power and over-the-top special effects. And in its subtlety lies the beauty of The Hunt.
