A Bad Hunt (Besmenian: Eine schlimme Jagd) is a 1967 horror film adapted, produced, and directed by Helmut Rommel, based on the 1935 novel Forest Cannibals by Sigmund Scharf. The film contains many bloody scenes of violence and many moments of shock, as a result of which the film was described as "too crass" at its premiere in 1967. The film was banned in Besmenia itself from February 1968 to March 1999.

Plot

The film is about the two young married couple Tom Meyer, Ursula Meyer and Adam Holzmann, Larissa Holzmann, the four of them are going on a camping holiday in the deep forest. Unfortunately, they are lost in the forest and cannot find a way out. When the last leftover foods are gone, Tom goes crazy and commits cannibalism to the others. Only Ursula managed to escape from the forest in the end.

Production

Ban on film due to conflict over the protection of minors

The Besmenian Youth Commission found that the film contradicted their principles. A Bad Hunt was therefore confiscated in February 1968 and was therefore banned.

Rommel himself is said to have tried to bring serveral shortened versions into the cinemas over the years, but without success, and without the consent of the BJK.
