Review of Prey (2022) by Acidcasual — 08 Aug 2022

Another example of don’t give into the hype.

The acting was average at best, the story was tailored to a series rather than a movie, just not enough impact or epicness. The main character set off on the right foot, like all the classics, you know…I’m not worthy so I will make myself worthy. Rather than, the worlds oppressing me so I deserve to win 2022 mantra.

But it was all a bit too much Buffy and not enough Revenant. It’s a predator movie, where’s the suspense. Where the big chases, traps. The original predator was paced beautifully, this wasn’t. The cinematography just didn’t make it feel epic, you know it probably was all done in 4 weeks on the same stretch of forest. There’s certainly moments that look cool and it is of high quality. It’s just not cool.
