Review of Let Us Prey (2014) by Kelly H — 30 Oct 2015

Until the final twenty minutes or so, "Let Us Prey" mesmerizes with its vividly stylized cinematography, solid acting and a captivating journey into a maze of moral asymmetry. At times predictable, the film offers fun nuances into some classical horror styles.

You'll have to forgive its stylized form for some of the inevitable plot holes that come with the genre territory. The final twenty minutes unfortunately prioritize style over substance and metaphor over a graspable takeaway, which will likely leave most audience members flustered with enjoying 75% of a film and wanting more from its utterly forgettable finale.
