Viewing Notes
There are a lot of movies named Prey out there; this one is the French movie, Proie. It’s a fairly quick little bit of eco-horror that keeps the back story to a minimum. I’m generally fine with that, but it could have used more running time for better character development. Ultimately, I found myself not really being invested in anyone’s future here.
That being said, it was a pretty decent little movie with some genuine jump scares that startled me; pretty hard to do considering how jaded I am.
On Netflix Instant, worth a quick watch.
