Prey

About This Movie

So, 'Prey' (2023) is an interesting watch, really. The tension builds slowly, but it grabs you. It's about this woman who's manipulated into becoming a killer via this eerie earpiece, which is a pretty unique twist. The atmosphere gets pretty dark as the unseen puppeteer toys with her life, pushing her to the edge. I gotta say, the pacing feels like a rollercoaster – moments of stillness followed by sheer chaos. The themes of control and survival resonate throughout, and while the performances aren't groundbreaking, they do serve the story well. Plus, the practical effects have a rawness that enhances the film's gritty vibe. Definitely a conversation starter if you’re into thrillers with a psychological edge.
