Synopsis

The Hunters (Jägarna, 1996) is a Swedish crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Kjell Sundvall. Stockholm detective Erik Bäckström heads home to the far north of Norrbotten after his father's death and signs on with the local force.

Someone is gunning down reindeer across the frozen backcountry, and his new colleagues would rather look the other way — too many neighbors would be implicated. The closer Erik gets to the poaching ring, the closer it points to his own younger brother, Leif. Rolf Lassgård plays a man who trusts the law more than his own blood.

Then a Russian berry-picker turns up dead in the woods, and a petty wildlife case curdles into something far darker. Sundvall's film was one of the biggest Swedish hits of its decade — a bleak northern procedural where the real fight is family against conscience. Stream The Hunters online on iFILM.
