Discovering what transpired, The Father prepares to hunt down the revived creature as it searches for a new body.Īs nightfall arrives, the Father begins a game of wits against the creature, with it digging up the daughter’s grave and attaching its head to her corpse. His victory is short-lived as one of his jars containing the elixir he left near his window is knocked over and spills over the creature's decapitated head, bringing it back to life. After a hard battle he finally decapitates the monster and travels home to pay respects to his daughter. Traveling far north to an island, he finds the monster in a cave. Much to his surprise, it is revealed to be the creature responsible for his daughter's death. Soon after making a grave for his companion and visiting his daughter’s grave, another bounty is posted. During one such hunt, he returns on foot after Jakke is killed. Many of these hunts leave The Father wounded and maimed, forcing him to use the elixir to heal himself. Throughout he is shown taking the bounty, leaving to hunt down his target, then returning with the target's head which he pins to his wall. Each time the kingdom has a new bounty for The Father to fulfill, the horn from the nearby castle blows, and a new bounty is pinned to a large tree just outside the castle walls. The Father earns his living as a bounty hunter by hunting down the beasts that terrorize a nearby kingdom.

The film would garner several awards and nominations at the various film festivals it was screened at, and received positive reviews from critics upon its release, with many praising the film's atmosphere, cinematography, and Rygh's performance. While the film was screened at Sitges, and Nightmares Film Festival under the title The Head, but the title was later changed to The Head Hunter due to lukewarm reactions. The Head Hunter first premiered at the Sitges Film Festival on October 6, 2018, as a part of the festival's "Panorama Fantàstic" section. Principal photography later began in Bragança, Portugal, while additional scenes were shot in Norway, and Mammoth Lakes, California. Norwegian actor Christopher Rygh was cast as the leading role, in his feature-film debut, after filmmakers discovered him while searching a casting website. The initial concept for the film later came about during a writer's retreat, in which the filmmakers had assembled and hosted at Stewart's family home in Soutelo Mourisco, a small village in Northern Portugal. Influenced by Jean-Jacques Annaud's 1981 film Quest for Fire, as well as The X-Files, and Tales From the Crypt television series, The Head Hunter was developed by Downey and Kevin Stewart, with the location in mind long before the film's story was eventually developed. The film centers on the title character, who works as a bounty hunter for a local kingdom, all the while he awaits the eventual return of the creature responsible for the murder of his daughter. It stars Norwegian actor Christopher Rygh as the title character, Cora Kaufman, and Aisha Ricketts. The Head Hunter (originally titled The Head) is a 2018 American fantasy horror film directed by Jordan Downey, who also co-wrote, produced, and edited the film.
