The Prey follows the tried and tested formula of a group of 20 somethings who venture into the forest to camp unaware that something lingers between the trees with evil intentions.
In this case we have a bit of a Wrong Turn (2003) vibe and absolutely no originality or standout moments at all.
One thing I can certainly say for The Prey is that certain elements are beautiful. The movie is full of what I can only assume is stock footage of forestry wildlife and though it seems like filler it really is quite exquisite.
As for the film itself it is full of mediocre deaths, generic characters and lackluster writing.
The Good:
Beautiful nature shots
Oddly dark finale
The Bad:
Paint by numbers stuff
Weak death scenes
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
I've seen enough of these films now to put me off camping for life
