There are also some goof-ups that are irritating, like a scene where Roman is shown to quietly tip-toe close to the murderer – which would’ve never been possible in real life, because the terrain is filled with dried-up leaves, and they make a LOT of noise. The director should’ve just stuck to the cat-mouse chase, and given more thought to the antagonist. A parallel sub-plot about Roman and his fiance told in tiny flashback beach montages doesn’t do much to serve the primary plot. The film does have a few high-points, which manages to create a sense of dread for the first half of the runtime, but from thereon, it’s pretty downhill. The reasoning is stale and predictable, and if you’re used to watching thriller films, you’ll be able to guess the climax early on. Because even though the makers try to explain why the psychotic killer is murdering men in the woods, it’s not satisfactory. ‘Prey’ has a sharply cut trailer that will get thriller enthusiasts interested, but unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to expectations. It soon becomes evident that whoever is wielding the gun, is making a game out of mortally wounding them. Just when they are about to get into their car after finishing a hike in a remote national park, where there is no network (obviously), somebody starts shooting at them. The two are out celebrating the last few days of Roman’s bachelorhood along with three other friends. How many will finally survive? That is all there is to the 2021 German film “Prey”, written and directed by Thomas Sieben.Īctors David Kross and Hanno Koffler play brothers Roman and Albert. So all they can do is run for cover, while a mysterious shooter tracks their trail. Five men are out hiking in the woods, and they soon find themselves being shot at by someone.
