Review of Prey (2021) by Lukazz — 21 Sep 2021

The film actually starts with some breathtaking shots of the mountains, the woodlands and the nature. Excellent filming. However from the get go, you just cannot relate to the characters, they are just so dull, uninspiring and you really can't root for them. The film is decent for the first 15 minutes, then it becomes incredibly bad. One issue I have with it, as soon as they realize that the marksman is actually a single woman, armed with a scoped bolt action rifle, they should have taken her on when they still had the numbers, before they started dying. You run and to be fair, they ran for like a minute and then kept on stopping asking each other " did we lose her?". No you didn't you idiot you ran for 50 metres and then stopped and you're talking loudly, of course you didn't lose her. They could have baited her, since her behaviour was not standard, one fella she shot in the head right away, another she willingly just scratched only to then shoot him in the throat and in the head, then she spared 3 survivors only to then kill one of them with like 7 rounds, shooting both his legs, both his shoulders, arms and then a shot in the head. So she didn't always shoot to kill. They could have baited her, since she actually got close to them several times, they were real close to her and she did not notice, they could have ran up to her, she would have managed to shoot once, yes, so one of them would have had to take one for the team, but she would not have had the time to chamber another round and 3/4 blokes could have easily smashed her head in with rocks and stabbed her with the knife they had. Instead they decided to be victims and allowed her to pick them out one by one. The motives...okay some drunk hunters had a negligent discharge and killed her daughter so she starts killing every hiker she sees in the woods. Why kill the young lady at the shop? She's a female, young and innocent, why shoot her in the head?

Also the police would recognize gun shots and hear the screams, the idiocy of them not knowing the location so they could not tell the cops and saying we didn't tell the cops where we are...Duh you're using a landline, the cops would know where the phone call is coming from. The backstory with the brother shagging his brother's fiance was meh, didn't add anything. I was hoping for something paranormal. You have a bunch of fellas making bad decision after bad decision, a female shooter who seems to be hell bent on killing innocent hikers because her daughter was killed by mistake by drunk hunters, she also has no qualms killing young female gas station employees. I actually enjoyed it, but then I have a tendency to enjoy really bad films sometimes.
