HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE was launched on screens at a New Zealand wide premiere on Thursday 30th April at 42 locations including Raglan. This is a laugh-out-loud movie with excitement along the way.

From the director of ‘Boy’ and ‘What We Do In the Shadows’,Taika Waititi new film is a hilarious and heartfelt adventure based on Barry Crump’s novel, ‘Wild Pork & Watercress’. Ricky (Julian Dennison) is a defiant young city kid who finds himself on the run with his grumpy foster uncle (Sam Neill). A national manhunt ensues and the two are forced to work together to survive.
“Everything about Hunt for the Wilderpeople charms and delights”. Stuff 4 1/2 Stars
“The runaway local success of Boy sure made it a hard act to follow. Could a local film ever hope to find as big an audience again? Could its creator, Taika Waititi, ever hope to tap a nation’s funnybone with such precision in another film? Could he ever find another kid to do what the young James Rolleston did in that movie?
Well, on the evidence of The Hunt for the Wilderpeople it seems Waititi has had a bloody good go at making a film that could answer all of the above in the affirmative.” NZ Herald 4 1/2 Stars
