“When monsters stalk the savanna, only a hunter’s instincts can save the day.”

Hyena Hunter (2025) charges into cinemas as a thrilling survival-action spectacle, plunging audiences deep into the untamed wilderness of Africa, where both man and beast fight to survive. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest), the film combines breathtaking landscapes with relentless tension and primal terror.

The story follows Jack Holloway (Chris Hemsworth), a wildlife tracker and former poacher turned conservationist. Haunted by his past, Jack now protects endangered species across the African savanna. But when a rogue pack of giant hyenas, mutated by illegal chemical waste dumping, begins terrorizing local villages and killing indiscriminately, Jack is forced back into hunter mode.

Alongside local biologist Dr. Amina Ndlovu (Lupita Nyong’o), Jack embarks on a perilous expedition to track and stop the monstrous hyenas before they reach a bustling safari resort teeming with tourists. As night falls, the hunters become the hunted, and Jack must face not only the savage predators but his own guilt and demons.

Hyena Hunter delivers edge-of-your-seat action, intense chase scenes under moonlit skies, and moments of raw fear as glowing eyes stalk from the shadows. Critics praise the film’s spectacular African vistas and Hemsworth’s gripping performance as a man torn between violence and redemption.

For those craving a fresh, high-octane wilderness adventure, Hyena Hunter howls with primal fury—and leaves audiences breathless until the very last roar.
