    3 out of 5 stars Somebody Needs to slap her!!!   May 20, 2009
    Carleen Crow (Oglala,, SD United States)
    The daughter has an attitude in this movie at the beginning. They should have left her a#! at home!!! I thought the step-mom should have slapped her or better yet, pushed her out of the car and fed her to the hungry Lions - maybe they would have choked on her and left the others alone!!!!


    3 out of 5 stars I'm Not "Lion", This Is Ain't No Trip To The Zoo....   January 31, 2009
    Eric Ericson (Venice, Florida USA)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Isn't nature beautiful? Are you kidding?!!? Another "don't go off the beaten path in the wild" tale, this is a story about three American tourists, two children and their young new stepmother, who while their father is elsewhere building a dam in Africa (played by Robocop's Peter Weller, who's career really needs a boost), go on a sight-seeing trip within a small defensiveless jeep getting stuck in the wild and face possible devouring by lions. Alot of lions, and they're hungry!

    I found this movie a little too hokey and the violence level somewhat underplayed down to the lion attacks full of CGI sprayed blood and victim shots showing them laying down dead to being dragged off screen by "something" each time. Sure, the shots of the wild and the lions themselves look mighty impressive, but I couldn't help that I seen this movie before just with another title. Also bonus "ugh" points for the old "step-children hate the new Mom/Dad until they save them from the bad thing" bit. Not too memorable, but will teach you to remember that when you have to go to the bathroom, wait until you get back to the hotel. okay?

    3 out of 5 stars The Secret To Female Bonding...   October 17, 2008
    Bindy Sue Fronkuenschtein (under the rubble)
    1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    Tom Newman (Peter Weller from Robocop and Of Unknown Origin) and his new wife Amy (Bridget Moynahan) have a problem. Though their marriage is full of happiness, Tom's 14yo daughter can't seem to warm up to the idea. So, Tom takes the family (including his young son) to Africa, sends them on a guided safari without him, and waits for the miracle of female bonding to take place. Uh-oh! The jungle is actually inhabited by animals, many of them wild! There are even ferocious creatures known as "lions" wandering about! At least the Newmans will be safe in the SUV. What the...? Little Newman jr. has left the vehicle in search of a restroom! Thankfully, the armed tour-guide is w/ him. Dear Lord! Are those the "lions" over there?? Run! Run for your lives! EEEEEAAAGGH!! Rip! Tear! Chomp!!! Burp! No more tour-guide! This all leads to a siege in the SUV, where Amy and her stepdaughter can finally come together in loving harmony. Meanwhile, Tom frantically searches for his family w/ the help of a half-mad, hermitic tracker. Can he find them before the "lions" reach their dessert course? Will Amy channel Sigourney Weaver in order to defend her husband's offspring? Does this family have what it takes to survive a divorce, re-marriage, AND a carnivorous assault of unholy magnitude?? We can only hope...


    4 out of 5 stars PREY   August 28, 2008

    PREY

    I have always liked watching these animal gone crazy type films, I don't know what it is about them maybe it's because this stuff really does happen or something, I don't know. But these films have always fascinated me, and even if the film isn't all that great I still give it a chance. This film looks like a great film if you go by cover alone, plus it states that it is inspired by true events which boost interest. Those two things alone have my attention, but it all so hypes the film up. When watched with an open mind it still leaves you with mixed feelings.

    Director Darrell Roodt who also co wrote this film with Jeff Wadlow, and Beau Bauman creates a cool little tension filled [at times] movie that is an over all enjoyable film. The story is all about a family and a guide who are attacked by a pack of lions and are stuck off road in a jeep. Of course from here we have a film full of pretty realistic kills and some pretty good thrills. The writers, director, and producers of this film obviously went into this trying to make a really good movie, and on some levels they have truly succeeded. The only real faults within this movie are some of the characters.

    Carly Schroeder plays her role very well but it is her character that truly hurts this movie. She plays Jessica Newman who is the most annoying character I think I have ever seen in a film ever. You may be reading that and think that I am exaggerating, but I promise you I am not. You really will be wishing for this teenage girl to literally be thrown to the lions, as bad as that sounds it would have elevated this film to classic status in my mind. Conner Dowds's character is quite the opposite, but the problem here is in the performance. I realize he is just a kid, so to that extent it isn't horrible but other kids have done much better. Bridget Moynahan on the other hand as the step mother of the kids is great in her role, I particularly like when she finally gets on to Carly's character. She plays the role brilliantly and like others have said she does look a little like Sandra Bullock. Peter Weller is just as good as the father who can not be there to help his family. In fact everyone else in the film is very believable [see Jamie] and do a great job with this film.

    This film would be perfect for a day you have just laying around the house. I recommend this film to anybody looking for a movie for just a day like that. Good film over all, check it out.



    5 out of 5 stars Far more disturbing than JAWS and JURASSIC PARK put together!!! And kick CUJO to the curb!!!   October 2, 2007
    Crysania M. Weese (USA)
    5 out of 5 found this review helpful

    Based on 'actual events' in the 'wild of Africa,' PREY stays true, fast, fun and scary (movies like this are simply made for these reasons alone, and that's O.K. because no one 'preyed upon' was seeking an Academy Award nomination for their performance)...
    Though this low-budget thriller lacks a much-needed/memorable score to chase, pace and grace all its action, the film's sweeping and sometimes stunning cinematography compensates and delivers in major ways...
    Far more disturbing than JAWS and JURASSIC PARK put together!!! Why??? Because the children are too young to cope with such graphic horror. The family is basically terrorized by the 'Kings of the Jungle' for an hour-and-a-half, with no end in sight - a vaguely similar scenario that played out well for mutants in THE HILLS HAVE EYES...
    THE 3 PROS:
    1) DRAMA -- Cutie key actress Bridget Moynahan (I, Robot) brings much-needed cohesion to a family of two, fairly well-acted, snot-nosed kids enduring coming-of-age-woes with their father's divorce (a familiar undercurrent, considering how "close to home" the real notion hits)...
    2) INTENSITY -- 'Slasheresque,' bloody and out-of-no-where lion feasts. I've become bored with the 'old-fashioned' man vs. nature flick plots - Why not have starving lions eating people??? If I was a lion, I'd be mad as hell about poachers and the persistent decimation of my native African land...
    3) THRILLS -- From start to finish the plot's truly disturbing. Even though the kids are bratty, watching them witness gruesome violence, at such a blistering pace, hurts and is darn harsh!!! Frankly though, the biggest draw is that the incident happened (I'm not exactly sure when or where, so I'm now forced to conduct research on my own). But this idea immediately gets in your gut, or under your skin, and stays there... In other words, you can walk away from JAWS, JURASSIC PARK, or worse, CUJO, and say, "Oh, that's a decent piece of fiction." But you leave stumbling from PREY and you ask yourself, "My goodness, that happened??? They should have had a Hummer..." or "I know I'll think twice before I head out on a Lion Country Safari after absorbing PREY. I don't want to be prey for anything or anybody..."
    THE 1 CON:
    1) SCORING -- PREY desperately needs a more supportive and suspenseful score overall to carry the tiny moments that may lag and the fragile/tender moments that may drag...
    Regardless, see PREY and while you're at it, throw away your CUJO DVD, because PREY is pretty grrrrrrrreat!!!
