Prey (2007)

Too many fans seem to be blown away

not as good as all the hype

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A good movie if you like the dumb woman type movie that can't drive...makes the dumbest choices of all....leaves you thinking how can anyone be so stupid and also the typical children that always are crying or bitching about wanting something to drink...or needing to use the bathroom and just being a pain in the ass....but if you can handle all the stupidity its not a bad movie

great idea this genre is right up my alley im half way through watching this film and the problem is i want them to be eaten especially the daughter. the acting is somewhat hammy probably due to the weak script. this is one of those films where you shout at the stupidity of the victims but in this case i just don't care enough.okay. a little bit of redemption, still lacks but a few developments in plot made this an uninspiring but mildly enjoyable film. such a shame it wasn't scripted better and no offence but Darrell Roodt s direction sucks ass big time. shoddy camera work, terrible effects and bad score i feel i might be being a bit harsh this is a south African film and so will have budget constraints.all in all worth a look if you want something a bit different just a little bit more effort and this could have been great.

"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.

It was slow, predictable & ridiculous, it's like so many movies you've already seen but only this time, the acting and storyline is 100x worse.If you've seen Jaws, you've seen this, just switch out the sharks with lions, add terrible acting and ridiculous scenarios. Normal people with half a brain would easily find a way of escape, but not the victims in this movie. I found myself angry and irritated watching the stupidity in action.I can't believe anyone invested money to whomever wrote and directed this pile of trash Don't waste your time with this one
