The. Worst.This movie is terrible. Do not watch it. Ever.So bad.
... View MoreOh my. Just finished watching Prey. WOW what a movie. Judging on how harsh the reviews were, I wasn't expecting a lot, but give us something more! The idea was perfect. People stranded with blood-craving lions. Who wouldn't want to see that. This film could have been SO much better if I made some minor adjustments....:1. Those freakin kids. 1. The boy- WORST ACTOR EVEEEEER! I've never seen someone look and talk like a robot at the same time. And he complained ALL the time. I understand your in the desert, but really? "Amy I'm tired, Amy I'm thirsty, Amy I have to go to the bathroom, Amy I'm hungry, Amy there are lions" God he sucked.2. The girl- I've seen her act before and she's not bad, but the writer just kept feeding her such cheesy dialog. And when a lion would attack....you will want to stab your ears with knifes. I'll give you a basic overview of most scenes: 1. Lion attacks. 2. Girl opens mouth. 3. Girl opens eyes. 4. Girl repetitive says "OMG" "OMG". (and this happens during EVERY scene with a lion.2. The dad- He was only in one scene with the lions but I still hated him. So he's walking over to his wife and kids, right, and then a lion comes, and its a good 15-20 feet to the left of him. The wife screams- "There's a lion , look out". The husband makes no effort to look or even turn around to see if shes actually telling the truth. I guess he though she was lying or something? So he screams- "What?". Wife- ""There is a lion!" Husband- "Wat"?. Wife- "Lion". Park Ranger- "Dont move". Husband moves his head like an inch...o there's the lion, silly me. The wife was perfect for the role. She shut those freakin kids up exactly when I wanted her to, and she wasn't to bad to look at either. Overall, bad movie, but could have been better with improved writing.
... View More"Prey", with its story of people trapped in a vehicle while man-eating lions roam outside, possibly takes its inspiration from two movies. The most obvious is "Cujo", but the movie may have also been inspired by the forgotten killer lion movie "Savage Harvest". While this movie may have been a passable imitation, the end results are kind of disappointing. It's hard to generate much sympathy for the three trapped individuals, with the teenage girl very annoying and the woman acting crazy during the scene where they could have gotten away. Also, with the family being trapped in the car for most of the movie, things often get quite boring. Movie isn't terrible - there are a few good things in it, like nice scenery, great cinematography, and other good production values (except for the fake-looking CGI blood.) But as I indicated in the summary line, you'll feel unsatisfied at the end.
