La Decima Vittima

La Decima Vittima has a very common concept. It means 'The Tenth Victim' and is an Italian film produced in 1965. This film has very much of a 'Hunger Games' feel to it. Violent personalities are chosen to partake in 'The Big Hunt'. There are 10 event rounds in 'The Big Hunt' for each player, 5 for the hunter and 5 for the victor. The survivor of all ten rounds is the victor. Participants will be playing for $1 million with the winner also being seen as a national hero.

The story of the hunters and their victims are strongly focussed on. The rules and justification for the games are revealed at the same time as the characters are explored a little more in depth with romance and mind games becoming a the main focal point of the film.

It was a great film and really got me engaged from the start. The only thing I would change about my experience watching this film is that I'd have much rather watched it in class to be able to discuss with other people what they thought and really try to develop a further understanding of the film. Instead, I chose to watch it in my own time and I feel like I've lost out a bit from that.
