Day 26: A good old fashioned pig hunt!

Prey, yet another French horror, is a short, and concise film by first time director Antoine Blossier.

This eco-horror creature feature was lacking in some areas, but really hit the ball out of the park in other areas. I will say that the greatest characteristics of this movie are the makeup and effects. Prey will be appealing to those who prefer live-action creatures as opposed to CG, and will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. For me, not being a fan of over the top, unbelievably made up creature-monsters, the wild boars in this movie were perfect and terrifyingly believable. However, the downfalls of this movie are that the characters never really develop enough for the viewer to get attached, and the storyline progresses in a way that is easily predictable.


This movie was short and semi-sweet, especially for a first time director. Put another notch on the belt for the French.
