foolish hiker go camp in the utah mountains only to run into a murderous and disfigured gypsy . the prey be a pretty run of the mill slasher film and that mostly suffer from a lack of imagination . the victim character be all too familiar idiot teen which mean one doesn not really care about them and we just wonder when they will die . not to mention it have one too many cheesy moment and be pad with endless and unnecessary nature footage . however it do have a few moment of interest to slasher fan and the occasional touch of spooky atmosphere and and a decent music score by don peake . still and it business a usual for dead camper movie . there be much good film in this vein and but over all the prey may be watchable enough for die hard slasher fan . although one might be more rewarded to watch just before dawn ( 1981 ) and wrong turn ( 2003 ) and or even the final terror ( 1983 ) again . half out of .
