Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

paulclaassen 'The Ghost and the Darkness' meets 'Cujo' - South African style. This is a great idea with the possibility of nail-biting suspense. Unfortunately the film suffers from repetitive, annoying dialogue, unconvincing acting, obvious fake effects and loads of plot flaws. Despite all these flaws, though, some of the lion attack scenes were very well made and it was an entertaining thriller. It was not as suspenseful as it could and should have been, and this was mainly due to a poor script that didn't really give the characters much to do, and didn't exploit their fears to the full extent.

kneecapwolf I have to admit, one of the most irritating points of this ridiculous film was the fact that in Africa the temperature soars to 105 (and that's on a pleasant day), however as the family is locked in the jeep, not one of them has a bead of sweat on their foreheads plus their hair looks like they just walked out of a salon. I hate that. I was led to watch this movie after watching The Ghost and the Darkness, a movie I have watched every once in awhile since childhood. Supposedly this piece of garbage is based on the Tsavo man-eaters. Ummmm.... NOT. If you want to see an ACTUAL "based on a true story" film I invite you to watch The Ghost and the Darkness and feel the amazing suspense!

metcald If you are a horror film buff, from the reviews I've read so far, don't watch this as it has no chain saws, or over the top craziness.This is a beautifully shot film, with characters that are portrayed so well, that you will most likely hate them by the end of the movie. To me, one definition of good acting is that it makes you feel something about the character either good or bad.I thought the animal scenes were very well done, without being overly gory to the point where you are no longer disgusted, like most modern horror films--SAW--ahem. I could feel the fear that characters felt and understand that when you are under extreme stress and ignorant of what to do for the most part, you end up doing very stupid things. For example, people whose cars accelerators stick and instead of putting the car in neutral and coasting to the side of the road they panic break and go off the cliff.About the divorced family drama--divorce is very traumatic for kids and many kids don't like their step-parents, initially anyway, so even though this is formulaic it is real and sets the stage for a lot of the decisions that are made.I've watched this film 3 times and I probably will watch it again (with my kids when they're a little older). The ending is probably the only part that I was disappointed with but I can overlook it for the quality of the remainder.

mgibson99805 Oh my. Just finished watching Prey. WOW what a movie. Judging on how harsh the reviews were, I wasn't expecting a lot, but give us something more! The idea was perfect. People stranded with blood-craving lions. Who wouldn't want to see that. This film could have been SO much better if I made some minor adjustments....:1. Those freakin kids. 1. The boy- WORST ACTOR EVEEEEER! I've never seen someone look and talk like a robot at the same time. And he complained ALL the time. I understand your in the desert, but really? "Amy I'm tired, Amy I'm thirsty, Amy I have to go to the bathroom, Amy I'm hungry, Amy there are lions" God he sucked.2. The girl- I've seen her act before and she's not bad, but the writer just kept feeding her such cheesy dialog. And when a lion would attack....you will want to stab your ears with knifes. I'll give you a basic overview of most scenes: 1. Lion attacks. 2. Girl opens mouth. 3. Girl opens eyes. 4. Girl repetitive says "OMG" "OMG". (and this happens during EVERY scene with a lion.2. The dad- He was only in one scene with the lions but I still hated him. So he's walking over to his wife and kids, right, and then a lion comes, and its a good 15-20 feet to the left of him. The wife screams- "There's a lion , look out". The husband makes no effort to look or even turn around to see if shes actually telling the truth. I guess he though she was lying or something? So he screams- "What?". Wife- ""There is a lion!" Husband- "Wat"?. Wife- "Lion". Park Ranger- "Dont move". Husband moves his head like an inch...o there's the lion, silly me. The wife was perfect for the role. She shut those freakin kids up exactly when I wanted her to, and she wasn't to bad to look at either. Overall, bad movie, but could have been better with improved writing.
