The Plot…

In a remote small town police station it’s going to be a strange night.  Police officer Rachel Heggie (McIntosh) has booked Caesar Sargison.  He’s the driver of a hit and run.  Sargison is placed in a cell with Ralph Beswick.  Reggie is charged with domestic battery for beating his wife.  Police officers Jennifer Munday and Jack Warnock (Larkin) arrive with the man Caesar drove into.  Except for a few scratches the man seems okay.

Dr. Duncan Hume (Fulton) is brought in to check the mystery man for injuries.  Suddenly Dr. Hume attempts to stab the man.  Hume is stopped and placed in a cell.  The man has no identification and when his fingerprints come back, they belong to a person that died decades ago.  The man is carrying a small notebook full of people’s names.  When he talks he makes references to the Old Testament.

As the evening progresses, secrets are revealed, murders are committed and murders are solved.  It’s going to be a hell of a night.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Let Us Prey has an interesting set-up.  It just didn’t resonate with me.

Let Us Prey (2014) rates 2 of 5 stars.
