Review of Prey

Prey (V) (2019)
7/10
Part Survival Horrow, Part Supernatural Horror, Part Creature Horror
7 October 2019
I enjoyed this movie. I did not like the end twist because I thought it trivializes the rest of the movie, but that isn't a disaster. The story is hard to pin down to a particular genre. It has elements of a lot of different types of horror movies: slasher, creature, supernatural and the like. I liked the acting, especially from the lead actor playing Toby. The actress playing Madeline was less believable, but still ok.

The setting was beautiful and was used effectively throughout the movie to build tension in the forest, underwater or in caves.

The main issues I had were related to the end where the lead character suddenly becomes uncharacteristically capable of doing anything. One character calls Toby "Rambo" and I think this is a good characterization. It comes from no where and it seems unreal.

I also did not like the twist ending. However, I still think this is a good one to watch.
