The Hunted is a 2015 American film created and directed by Robert Chapin based on the action comedy web series The Hunted (2001).[1][2] Starring Chapin and Monique Ganderton, it tells the story of a struggling actor who leads a group of misfit vampire slayers against an army of vampires.[3] The film was distributed online through Vimeo VOD.[4][5]
Plot
In Los Angeles, unsuccessful actor Bob (Chapin) is bitten by a vampire, Susan (Ganderton), who is the daughter of a crazed vigilante slayer. Consequently, Bob becomes one of the "hunted," a small group of humans who have been bitten by vampires but have not turned into vampires. They use cold steel and fighting techniques to fend off vampires. The vampires, however, have developed an immunity to most methods of killing them and can only be killed with swords. Luckily, Bob is a skilled swordsman due to his former role in the action film Vampslayer. [6] Bob helps Susan and the hunted defend themselves against the vampires.

Conception and writing
The Hunted (web series) began in 2001 as a long-running internet series, created by Robert Chapin. Chapin started this series in an effort to improve his profile as a stuntman and VFX artist. He collaborated with his friends and colleagues in creating the series.[7] The series garnered an active fanbase who contributed to the series by creating user-generated content. These contributions became the main source of content for the online series.[8][9][10]
The Hunted is known for often weaving lines from popular culture and literature into its dialogue. This includes reuse of lines from films such as Scarface (1983), Independence Day (1996) and even from Shakespearean poems.
Filming
The film received financial support in June 2011 via a Kickstarter campaign.[11] The film was shot in Hollywood, California, in 2012 and is co-produced by New Deal Studios. Post-production was completed in March 2015. The majority of the film's cast consisted of stunt performers.[12]
