We're launching the G4 Films' Epictober Film Festival this morning with "The Hunt," the Opening Selection of our festival. "The Hunt" is a terrifying tale of horror that mashes up old-school suspense with the Nintendo classic Duck Hunt.

You've probably never considered the horror potential of the NES launch title, but director Sam Balcomb clearly has. In Balcomb's dark vision of "Duck Hunt," three hapless hunters come face to face with a monstrous entity keen on their demise. It's the perfect film to get you ready for Halloween.

Balcomb is the co-founder of Rainfall Films, and has produced content for Britney Spears, Steven Tyler, ABC Studios, IGN.com, Willow Smith, Katy Perry and more. We think you'll really enjoy his movie.

Check back tomorrow, at 9 AM EST for the Festival's Centerpiece Showcase, Drew Daywalt's "Kart Driver." And on Wednesday at 9, enjoy the festival's Closing Selection, Gregg Bishop's "The Birds of Anger," a horror take on Angry Birds in which the birds are very, very angry.

Take a look at the trailers and posters for all three films right here.
