A UFO of Australian genre cinema, The Hunted of the Year 2000 (Turkey Shoot in original version) is inspired by The Hunts of Count Zaroff (Irving Pichel, Ernest B. Shoedsack, 1932) to denounce the barbarity of totalitarian regimes. Shot in the hostile landscapes of Queensland, Brian Trenchard Smith's survival game is astounding with a crazy outburst of violence laced with gory episodes.
