Prey

Prey (2007)
Seen on DVD 2nd September 2008

Good old animal horror. Only this was quite lame. Today was a bad day for movies.
That will all be made up for tomorrow when i go see THE DARK KNIGHT again!!
Yes, this movie was unimpressive enough for me to discuss other movies in it's review.

STORY: 3/7
The Newman family are in africa because Tom (the dad) is building a dam there. One day Amy (the new and not-very-well-liked stepmother) Jessica and David go out on a game reserve for some sight seeing. Unfortunately their guide is eaten by a lion leaving them stranded in the jeep unable to go anywhere because they don't have the keys and the lions are right outside.

ACTING: 3/7
I'd love to say the lions did the best acting, but they were pretty crap. They mostly just stood around being totally cute and not at all menacing. I guess the best actor in the group was Carly Schroeder (Mean Creek.)

* Carly Schroeder screaming like a moron *

CINE / VISUAL EFFECTS: 3/7
Lots of in-car filming. Lots of wide sweeping plains.
A few ok looking corpses and stuff.

GORE RATING: 3/7
the people killing was lame... but when they killed the lions it was GROSS and just sad.

* Blood coverred lion just ate your guide *

I is in your car nomming your guide LOL

OVERALL: 3/7

A fail, but at least it was a solid fail.
