Hunted is a 1972 British two-hander dramatic short film directed by Peter Crane and starring Edward Woodward and June Ritchie.

"[2] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Although laudable as an attempt at a 'serious' featurette, Hunted unfortunately never escapes from the limitations imposed by its obviously tiny budget and by the earnest theatricality of its script.

Action and dialogue alike seem to have been much influenced by Bogdanovich's Targets [1968], but here the basic idea of a sniper proves little more than an excuse for a highly contrived dramatic situation whose pace and content are continually dictated by the necessity of remaining within the production's only set.

And Edward Woodward's attempts to bring the gun-fixated character to life are largely vitiated by the incongruity of the last-minute revelation that his own weapon contains only blanks.

"[3] The film was remade for television in 1988 by NBC as the two-part Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Hunted, also starring Woodward, for which he received a 1989 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series.
