* HillbillyHorrors: The movie is more of a crime-thriller than a horror. But the titular hunters (whom are poachers, murderers and rapists) are more or less the Swedish equivalent of hillbillies.

Savage and disturbing even by UsefulNotes/NordicNoir standards, ''The Hunters'' draws inspiration more from films like Film/{{Deliverance}}, Film/StrawDogs1971 and Film/FirstBlood than the standard PoliceProcedural fare. It helped to cement the image of ''"Norrland"'' (Everything from ''Hälsingland'' and above) as a sort of Hillbilly mixture between the SavageSouth and GrimUpNorth for the rest of the country. Needless to say, many Norrlanders either hate or adore this movie (and Kjell Sundvall) to this day.
