Yes, it is in French and I had no idea what they were saying, found some subtitles to go with it and that helped, heaps, for me anyway.
This is a rather funny and well done comedy-spoof of some of the super hero movies that have been around lately. I wish that I had seen this earlier. I've only recently start watching non-English movies, with subtitles - I guess there's a few to catch up on.
Surprisingly, Philippe Lacheau, Wrote, directed and starred in this and did a fantastic job, in my opinion, it is rare that combination works. Well done.
If you enjoy a spoof, then you will get your fix without it being too much. I would recommend this.

The release year of The Bayou (2025) states that it was 2025. Ok, but why on earth is such a movie like this produced in this day-and-age? With an estimated budget of $5 million (unconfirmed) I doubt that they saw a return out of this move.
Madalena Aragão (Alice) reminded me of Kaya Scodelario in her looks, I had to do some searching on that, as it happens, Kaya was in the movie Crawl (2019) which was about gators. Crawl was a better movie.
Anyway, overall The Bayou was just ok, but below average for a 2025 movie. Athena Strates (Kyle) didn't quiet convince me that she was a gator expert. Elisha Applebaum (Malika) worked her magic and totally convinced me to dislike her character, so well done there, Elisha.
Other actors trying to do their bit were Mohammed Mansaray (Sam) seemed to be confused whether he had to be the comedic relief or a wanna be hero. The crazed pilot, Frank (Andonis Anthony), was not convincing at being a leader. Tayla Kovacevic-Ebong (Dom) was probably the hero, or close to one.
Overall, the effects were not too bad, the story and acting are what you would expect from the B movie. Would I recommend this? A few beers or wine and it is a yes.

An enjoyable thriller that wasn't over-acted or over-done too much.
Alexandra Daddario, in my opinion, was incorrectly cast for the part of Rachel. There was nothing wrong with her acting or presence, as usual, but looked out of place for Night Hunter.
Henry Cavill (Marshall), Ben Kingsley (Cooper) and Stanley Tucci (Commissioner Harper) played their respective roles well.
The stand out performance from Brendan Fletcher (Simon) was surprising and awesome, I won't say too much about him, watch it and see for yourself.
Overall, Night Hunter was an enjoyable Thriller with enough twists to overcome the very few weak areas. Not sure why Nathan Fillion (Quinn) was in this, it's not as though he was short on work ops. I would definitely recommend this.
