Prey

This seems the be the new filmmaking with an absolute minimum of characters and no extras. The rise of the covid-19 safe film. Ok I get it, really I do, but this does not mean the plot needs to keep 6ft from anything interesting as well. If you are no longer relying on big special effects with lots of extras for a film to succeed it has to come from somewhere else.

These characters are complete idiots.

Their decisions are absolute garbage. Until the literal last moment of the film.

I watched to the end to see who lives. None of the characters want their lives anyway. And their drama is unnecessary idiocy while they are being attacked.

Meanwhile, the reason for the hunt is the only plausible part of this film. And the solid acting carries the film.

Some people in the woods. Something bad happens. They're in peril and don't know why. A few shocks. Paper-thin characters yelling at each other. You've seen this before. The reason behind "the "hunt" is told in the most ridiculous manner. Late in the game, there is a development between two characters that doesn't really get resolved due to what I thought was an abrupt ending. Nice-looking quality to the movie, but you're much better off sticking with THE RITUAL!

Slow burn? Watching it is a slow death. A cat and mouse game that drags on and on and you'll guess the big reveal long before the end, if you make it that far without falling asleep.

Slow, no plot, shallow characters, fast forwarded it from a point on. Complete waste of time.
