About this movie

Described as 'Donnie Darko' meets 'Lost', 'Prey' follows Toby Burns (Logan Miller: 'Escape Room'), a millennial coldly floating through life and disconnected from his family. After his father is tragically killed, Toby is left stricken with guilt. He is begrudgingly enrolled in a program, in which he will spend three days on a remote jungle island. Toby soon finds that this "uninhabited" island is not so lonely when he meets a mysterious girl named Madeleine (Kristine Froseth: 'The Society'). It soon becomes clear that neither of them are safe here and time is running out. Someone or SOMETHING bloodthirsty lurks in the jungle...

Ratings and reviews

Not a bad movie. I'm not sure I'd watch it twice but worth watching once. It's never going to be a cult movie, but it can hold its head up above similar movies of its ilk. Of the 'small cast stuck on an island' genre it was superior to the average. I do enjoy survival movies and this touched on that element with a garnish of the supernatural.
