Hunting Emma, A Pacifist Goes Nuclear

In 1897, Sigmund Freud was quoted as saying, "Inside every pacifist is a raging nymphomaniac psychopath thirsting to gut any brute that comes her way." Okay, I admit this is a paraphrase. Still, you've seen this trope...and anti-violence, anti-gun, anti-war puke is pushed to the limit and he or she becomes Predator! Today we have one from South Africa, 2017's "Hunting Emma," directed by Byron Davis.

Emma (Leandie du Randt) is a sultry blonde schoolteacher who is a pacifist, supposedly. On her holiday, she drives to visit her dad (Tertius Meintjes) and breaks down on a deserted highway.  Unlucky for her she spots six men who might be able to help.  Too late, as she nears them, the gang of six criminals executes a police officer.  Emma, horrified, runs.  The gang leader, Bosman (Neels van Jaarsveld) orders his men to capture her...they do.  Bosman then orders Boela (Edwin van der Walt) to rape her...he tries.  Dad finds out Emma is stranded and in the wilderness.  He puts two and two together and sees that a gang of six is hunting her...and he is scared...for the six men.  See, dad was a special forces monster who taught Emma all he knew...especially how to murder. In handcuffs, Emma escapes as Boela is distracted...the chase is on again.  Emma is smart and triples back on her tracks causing the men to separate.

Boella and AJ (Danie Putter) find her first...to their detriment. Boella ends up gutted and AJ ends up... educated.  Now Bosman is ticked!  The men keep pursuing, Emma keeps slaughtering.  Now Emma has one of their radios and calls Bosman a "b@#$h."  Bosman has an ego and three men left.  Well, you can guess how the rest of the plot goes.  Oh, I should say Emma just broke up with her BF because he slugged a guy in a bar.  This fact will make the ending of this film priceless...you'll see.

Will Emma murder her way all the way to Bosman and then skewer him?  Will Emma's dad camp out in the wilderness with popcorn, marshmallows, and beer and just wait for his bloodstained daughter to arrive?  Will Emma see the error of her ways and take her BF back?  The goons in this film are evil, and Emma is quite the babe as she sweats nicely in the South African desert.  For a vicious babe versus brutes film, see "Hunting Emma."
