Prey

You really think that sending a trauma victim to a island to fend for themselves after only two weeks of training? Trauma victims might have offed themselves after the first 24 hours.

I think this movie has some very few interesting moments and that covers all the good I can say about it. The biggest flaw is that the story itself is sloppy and quite mediocre. The ending, as others have pointed out, is pretty bad, but it's no surprise as you can literally figure out the entire plot after 30 minutes of watching this film.

I think it could have been quite original and somehow interesting. It's a shame that it turned out to be an awful film where the plot is just a mediocre blur. There are a few plot holes, but the real problem is that this film is unable to bring something scary and meaningful to the audience. It's a waste of time and you'll forget about it very soon.

I wasn't expecting this, a movie with a plot, a direction, quite ok acting and all of that. Thus I was pleasantly surprised to find all of those above and a little more which I will let you discover for yourself.

Prey is a much better movie than it would appear to be at first. It has very good elements for a in the woods horror, and I love the change of direction it suffers. Prey is a good add-on to one's horror collection, so if you have the chance to watch it, go for it. Small budget horrors seem to get more creative lately, of course, excepting the ones that rely solely on gore.

Cheers!

Blumhouse produced this nifty teen version of Predator. It centers around a young man who goes on a sort of survival retreat after his father is murdered. After arriving solo he soon discovers hes not alone. He gathers up his strength to try and survive until the boat comes back. It's a suspenseful little horror flick even though it's a bit underdeveloped. More character and story work would have really hit the concept home. All in all not a bad watch.

6/10

It's what you'd expect from a Blumhouse movie. It's low budget, but decently put together. Surprisingly good acting. And an interesting if somewhat predictable plot.

All in all, an enjoyable little horror movie. Not so much scary compared to a lot of things out there, but a good movie none the less.
