The formulaic plot: a group of rowdy teens venture into the woods...only to discover a disfigured killer who delights in slicing through them one by one!

But could this psychotic mutha have a different sort of motivation?

Off pacing and draggy editing do little to help The Prey finds its niche. However, to its credit, it works up a few decent gore sequences including a drippy decapitation via axe and a nice death by cliff fall.

Plus, there's a relatively tense and shocking climax.

Recommended mainly for either a) slasher completists or b) fans who enjoy seeing jock musclestud Steve Bond in cut-off shorts and a tight t-shirt.

And really, doesn't that basically cover everyone?
