Horror has a strong tradition of the hunter becoming the hunted. It’s to the point where a “twist” ending would be if the roles AREN’T reversed by the story’s end. So when “The Prey” begins with three gangsters planning to rob a handicapped man, it’s fairly obvious where this is going.
At six minutes, we get enough information about the gangsters to tell that one is a wannabe and two have done this sort of thing before. There is a nice little touch at the end with the pawn shop, but all things considered, this is one of the weaker entries in the series. Strong characters, but a weak plot.
You can check it out on Youtube or Fewdio. And if you want to support the people who make these films, consider picking up the DVD collection, Nightmare House.
