Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

csarge-74615 The. Worst.This movie is terrible. Do not watch it. Ever.So bad.

Leofwine_draca CUJO with lions is the plot in a nutshell for this cheap 'n' schlocky B-movie made and filmed in South Africa. The slim plot sees a stepmother and her two kids - a teenage brat and her younger, slightly less irritating brother - trapped in a car with a pride of lions outside, hungry for their flesh. The storyline evolves with lots of attempted suspense and lion attack scenes, but it all comes across as silly and superficial.I can forgive the shoddy camera-work, the cheesy effects, and the bizarre decision to give the lions some kind of 'killer vision', a la PREDATOR. I can give the annoying characters and the lack of realism. Hell, at least there are no CGI lions in this one, and there is at least one recognisable actor in the cast; namely ROBOCOP's Peter Weller, given to slumming it in B-flicks these days, it seems.But what I can't forgive is the stupidity of the characters and thus the script. In PREY, stupidity is the excuse to drive the plot forever. Time and again our protagonists could save themselves or at the very least turn the situation to their advantage, but instead they do something stupid which sends them back to square one. The worst bit is where the woman drives the jeep so badly that she crashes it; this sequence is absolutely nonsensical, and had me howling at the screen. Just what were they thinking? It's silly stuff like this that makes the film a vapid exercise in fear-building, and just once I'd like to see a B-movie where the characters are smart and can actually think for themselves.

WakenPayne While working in a dam in Africa, the American hydraulic engineer Tom Newman brings his family to spend a couple of days in the Leopard's Rest Lodge. His fourteen year-old daughter Jessica is having friction with her stepmother Amy since she does not accept the divorce of her parents. On the next morning, Amy, Jessica and her brother David go in a game drive with a ranger while Tom goes to the dam. While driving off-road, David asks the ranger to stop the jeep to go to the "toilet", and unexpectedly they are attacked by a group of starving lions that kill and eat the ranger. Amy, Jessica and David are trapped in the jeep and stalked by the wild lions. When Tom returns to the hotel and finds that his family has not returned from the game, he asks for help to the experienced hunter and guide Crawford and together they seek Tom's family. In-Crappy-Credible Thats All I Have To Say. I Was Indredibly Surprised To See This Was Not Darrell Roodt's First Movie. In All The Horror Movies I've Seen I Have Never Seen Something This Ridiculos.

chlodowech Not much to say, beyond what has already been said. It seemed to remind a lot of "The ghost and the Darkness." Well, there was a tough hunter guy... and in "Congo" too. That should tell you something about the kind of stereotyping that sinks movies like this. Pity. It seems like, if they could have resisted this cliché, they would have HAD to come up with a much more original plot. Well, these hardly encouraging comparisons aside, isn't it strange how every park ranger is white? Is it really like that? Though, when you think of how expendable they are, it's kind of like what happens when you take token red-shirt blacks guys and just shift to negatives. Weird. But when you look them up, everyone but the American family is African-born. Interesting. Who would have thunk?When you think about it, not only does this movie have a lot of interesting locations, it is also more fast-paced than most give it credit for. There was a sort of stand-off with the lions, which was over in the first half hour of the movie - then the plot was already elsewhere. In other words: Even though it admittedly seems slow, a lot does happen in a short while. Think about it: A generally more accepted horror movie like "The Ruins" had one location, no more. Interesting use of modern technology (like a camera to spot keys), not even in a gimmicky cam-movie, shows real promise. So give this one a watch, after all.
