Audio sounds demonic? Video not playing/delay while scrolling? Use the "Can't Watch?" tab.

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.
If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie
The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A young girl’s hand turns up in a forest river. The case is handed over to a small team comprising a veteran cop, his trusted junior partner and a rookie.
The rookie’s main concern is that he can’t get the smell of the corpse’s hand off him. In some ways this is metaphorical, as the case will stain him forever, shitting all over his future plans of the stable family way.
The veteran is nearing retirement and doesn’t want to end with a loss against his score, especially when the investigation leads to one of the most powerful men in Turkey.
But it’s the third member of the team, Ýdris, who is as tragic as the case. He doesn’t mean anything anymore to his ex-wife, whom he’s obsessively still in love with. But he desperately wants to matter, somehow. When he climbs a chair at an office party and colleagues cheer, he’s happy. But those are fleeting moments and this case could be an opportunity to perhaps mean something, anything.
Genres: Detective-Mystery-Cops, Trafficking
Another person commented that this was “like a really ace episode of Columbo from the seventies.” What an insult to Columbo. First of all, Columbo always had really good, plausible stories. Second, in Columbo episodes you always knew who the murderer was from the beginning and the fun was watching Columbo drive them nuts while he gathered enough evidence to arrest them.
“Hunting Season” is a really long-winded murder mystery with a lot of extraneous baggage that slows the film down, like the idiotic relationship Ýdris has with his wife and the newbie’s blossoming romance with his (hopefully) soon to be bride. It takes a long time to get around to the point and it gets pretty boring along the way. When Ýdris got his ticket punched I said “good” out loud because I was sick of listening to him. By the time you find out who the real culprits are you are 2 hours plus in to the movie and you could give a rat’s ass anyway because you never really get to know who the victim was. 2 and a half stars.
Some amazing performances, great cinematography, excellent score. Not fucked up, but definitely worth a watch.
Off-topic, but some time ago I watched ‘Repulsion’ (1965), Roman Polanski’s first English-language film, starring the beautiful Catherine Fabienne Dorléac (known professionally as Catherine Deneuve) who portrays a young Manicurist named Carole. Unbeknownst to many, Carole suffers from a debilitating form of androphobia, the pathological repulsion of male interaction. It was riveting and beguiling. ‘The Tenant’ (1976) is also worth watching if you’re a devotee to Raymond Roman Thierry Polański.
It disappoints me to search earnest reviews on here, in the last year or so, because I’ve read nothing but abusive torrents and lurking depravity. The respected good folk have left, only mendacity and stark mimicry continue to eructate. The EUM crew must be disgusted at the state of humanity, especially here, I miss the people who could engage benevolently with one another, regarding film conjecture and critique.
Reminded me of Memories of Murder (2003). While not as good as that masterpiece, this movie is definitely worth watching!
This film literally something else.. not like one of those dumbass netflix movies. Great story and authenticity.
Yesssss…..
Excellent… Fast paced.. great story…. Kinda been done before but this was gripping.. well made and top drama. Like a really ace episode of Columbo from the seventies.. but better and more Turkish… Recommended for any proper drama fan. Not for Lucifer valentine heads
