Dreary modern thriller yarn, with lions

This film pretty much sums up the problem with modern B-movie making. If Prey were made in the seventies, you could bet your bottom dollar that it would have been a gritty exploitation classic; but here in 2007, it's merely a... Full review

As a thriller, I'd rate this one a 2. But as a comedy it gets a 4! If you like razzing a movie, this is really a good target. Alternate title, comedy: "101 Ways to Doom Yourself." (Not really) Top 13... Full review

This film contains extremely graphic(realistic)violence and is probably not appropriate for preteens. The play on words of the title is the cleverest thing about the film. Otherwise, the film is predictable. The main characters get into and stay in jeopardy by... Full review

Call me crazy, but a pride of lions being the pinnacle of evil instead of the usual axe-wielding psycho is kind of refreshing. That's where the good stuff I have to say about this one ends. I think this movie is... Full review

Judging from the reviews here, I didn't expect much so I was somewhat pleasantly surprised. In a cold winter evening in Sweden it can be pretty nice to see a movie set in the beautiful South African landscape. The story is... Full review

Wow, what a complete disaster of a movie. Won't bother with an explanatory breakdown of this gem. Distill any and every animal/fish/bird attack flick into a short series of clichéd, cursory plot points and characters, replace location to Africa and mean... Full review

no one remembers how bad this movie is!....Prey needs to pray for a screenplay, better actors, a better director.......This chomp-olistic mess is shamefully directed by Darrell Roodt and the downright pudency of writing is brought to us by Beau Bauman, Jeff Wadlow and Darrell Roodt..... ...

even if it's as obvious, predictable and periodically silly as Prey .....Weller glowers and growls, Moynahan worries and whines, the kids scream....The anamorphic widescreen transfer does a fine job of bringing the (surprisingly) crisp African cinematography to life.... ... Full Review

and the brilliant "Yesterday," which ranks among the very best movies made in the past few years.....the utterly horrid "Dracula 3000," which ranks among the very worst movies made in the past few years.....all of Roodt's good movies are about Africa, so fingers crossed, this could work.....And so "Prey" goes suddenly from boring thriller about a family yelling in a Jeep to an annoying actioner about tough moms blowing stuff up.....Roodt is also the helmer of the bland comedy "Father Hood," the cheap thrill ...
