Hunting Matthew Nichols is a 2024 Canadian horror film written, directed, and starring Markian Tarasiuk in his directorial debut.
Twenty-three years after her brother mysteriously disappeared, a documentary filmmaker sets out to solve his missing case.
Tarasiuk was inspired by true crime documentaries on Netflix, "as a satire to some degree," and myths around the world involving "forest creatures".
[citation needed] The film was made over several weeks in December on Vancouver Island to capture a gray, rainy, dark tone and sense of dread.
[3] The marketing included a website with “case-file evidence” and other extras adding to the central story.
