the prey have an interesting history and unless you remember the ad for it in newspaper in june of 1984 you might have catch it on the movie channel back in summer 85 and but little else be remember . the plot be your basic killer in the wood again . but ironically this be film before friday the 13th . the prey be actually shot sometime in 1978 accord to one of the actor in an interview year later . but release for about a week at some drive in and ( yes jim and namans drive in showed this in june of 84 ) . but it have a date look to it . maybe they release it so later on to cash in on all the other terror film the market be flood with by 1984. now on the story and it have some kind of back story and a forest fire back in the 1940 leave a lot of gypsy burn to death . but one of their child survive ( our monster ) so flash forward to present day which would be 1978 and we have an old middle age couple camp only to be dispatch by the monster . the tag line for this picture claim it not human and and it get an axe and but an axe be only use in these first two killing . now we have a bunch of teenager who look like they in their mid 20 camping . we all know they be the prey and and the monster knock them of one by one . for an 80 minute movie it seem longer . we also have a lot of wildlife footage to fill in void for the 80 min . overall for be out into an 80 horror movie it look way more 70 than ever . hey the prey have potential to be a good horror killer in the wood movie but fall a little short . it do however feature a pretty scary cool look monster at the end and and we have to wait till the last 2 minute to see him . side note and the monster have go on to star in the addams family movie in the 1990 .
