BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Amber Rain I'm not usually a horror fan, though that might actually count against it for some purists out there, and I didn't even know that there was a category for "Irish horror" until now. Normally horror films rely on dramatic cinematics, deliberate suspense, and supernatural foes that are just not believable. Here there was none of that- there were no "Oh God no, you aren't going to do that, are you?" really stupid moments, no purely unrealistic supernatural cinematics thrown in like confetti just to prevent boredom or to shock the viewer, and the gore- though at times excessive- had a point. More to the point, the acting was good, the characters and their interactions were interesting, and all in all it was a wonderful film. It was a perfect mix of elements making good use of a small cast and a set that wasn't a mansion, mental hospital, cue the usual trope. Frankly, as far as the good words I'd like to use to describe it, I'm having trouble finding the right ones because it was just that good. I hope that others out there enjoy this movie as much as I do.

sol- As a young police officer witnesses a drunken youth hit an old man with his car, only for the old man to mysteriously vanish from the scene of the crime, 'Let Us Prey' gets off to a promising start. Things get even more interesting as the youth denies the accident and the policewoman's superior even starts to doubt her testimony despite there being blood on the young man's car, and when the injured old man is minutes later tracked down and brought in for questioning the film reaches its utmost fascinating. All of this solid build-up is, however, unfortunately used up on a familiar story that blends possession and retribution elements and is perhaps best thought of as a cross between 'Ghosts of Mars' and 'Devil'. More problematic than the familiarity of the tale though is the plethora of unanswered questions that come with it (especially why the old man wants to draw the process out) and the frantic, frenetic pacing of the material. The film is loaded with flashbacks as the old man manages to stimulate memories in those he encounters, but the extremely quick flashes that we get never allow us to bask in the gravity and seriousness of the situations being remembered. It does not help that none of the characters are particularly likable either. The film is topped off with an excellent final scene though and there is a lot to like in the basic concept of flawed individuals being brought together for punishment (think Agatha Christie's 'Ten Little Indians'), but this has been better done elsewhere, so one's mileage with the film may vary.

znegative This movie was fantastic! A bizarre mesh of fantasy and horror, as well as being incredibly funny, I found myself laughing out loud throughout the movie, as well as being genuinely shocked by some of the horrific imagery.Truly an original feat.The film centers around a mysterious man with psychic abilities that enters the local police precinct and exacts justice to both prisoner and officer alike.Stars Liam Cunningham from Game of Thrones. I highly recommend this movie-especially if you like genre mashups like Evil Dead 2 and You're Next.

jtindahouse 'Let Us Prey' is a film that's own creativity is in a way its biggest downfall, which is a shame. The film is set in Purgatory (not confirmed but heavily implied) with a small group of incredibly unlikeable people occupying a police station and being influenced by 'Six', who is the devil (again not confirmed but heavily implied). The problem is that because every character is so unlikable you find yourself unable to care for any of them or their fate. There's an attempt to make the character of 'Rachel' the protagonist, but even she comes across as a bit of a wet paper towel. Consequently the film really struggles to draw any emotion out of its audience. The devil is in complete control of the movie from the minute he enters. There's no attempt to fight back or combat the situation (there is but it doesn't even get 'Six' to stand up) and so what we end up with is something that we knew was going to happen all along taking 90 minutes to get there.It's not all bad though. The character of 'Sgt. MacReady' gives us a fun ride and 'Six' was played very stylishly by Liam Cunningham. The Irish accent can often be very hard to pick up for the rest of us but I thought the majority of the cast did a good job with clear dialogue which was for the most part pretty audible. It's a cool little idea but I think for it to really work the character of 'Rachel' had to be a lot more likable. A fun enough ride but ultimately not scary enough to work as a horror film.
