scobbah As somebody else stated so well, this is a complete waste of time and money. B-movies can be very entertaining indeed but there is nothing here that appeals to me. Over-exposure of breasts, depicting drug use in a way that is far from reality and poor acting - none of those mentioned appeals to me, sorry. If it appeals to you perhaps this flick is for you. Was there even a plot? I cannot remember myself noticing it if there ever was one. I consider this one to be a complete failure as regards making a college flick with goals set on appealing to young people.2/10 - my advice is stay away from this one!

Paul Andrews Devil's Prey starts late one night as five teenage friends, David (Charlie O'Connell), Susan (Ashley Jones), Eric (Bryan Kirkwood), Samantha (Jennifer Lyons) & Joe (Rashaan Nall) drive along an isolated backwoods road on their way to a rave in a barn. Eventually they reach their destination & inside the barn everyone seems to be having a good time until David gets involved in a fight over drugs & the five friends are kicked out. They drive off heading back home but hit a girl named Fawn (Elena Lyons who is a bit of a babe) who stumbles into the middle of the road, after stopping they try to help her & decide to drive her to a hospital. However they are forced off the road by a van, the friends are now stuck in the middle of nowhere & to add to their problems Fawn informs them that a satanic cult known as 'the shadows' operate nearby & are always in search of fresh, young sacrificial victims for their sinister devil worshipping ceremonies...Directed by Bradford May I thought Devil's Prey was an OK teen horror, I certainly thought it was watchable at the very least. The script by Randall Frakes & C. Courtney Joyner moves along at a fair pace & is never boring, at first it plays pretty much like a standard slasher film with a group of clichéd teens, the obligatory black dude, the 'strong' female, the idiot, the couple etc., being hunted down by people in robes & masks that reminded me of the killer from Scream (1996) but about halfway through they come across the small town of Hallow's Point where the film takes a different direction. I'm not saying that Devil's Prey suddenly becomes a masterpiece or anything like that, far from it in fact but it was nice to see the film try & break out of the normal horror mould that appears set in stone these days. The character's are non descript & forgettable although they don't annoy too much, the plot twists are far too easy to figure out & I was one step ahead of Devil's Prey all the way & there is one bit which bugged me & still does even now. It's the fact that Fawn deliberately walked in front of a moving car as part of an elaborate plan, OK fine but there is no way on Earth that she could be sure that being hit by a speeding car wouldn't kill or seriously injure herself, is there? In fact I thought she was unbelievably lucky to bounce off the bonnet of a speeding car & get up with no visible injury whatsoever. That's a massive chance to take for very little benefit, I mean the guys in the van force the car off the road anyway, right?Director May does OK & Devil's Prey looks alright, it doesn't have much style or visual flair but it's good enough. There isn't much gore, someone gets a bullet through their head, there are a couple of really tame Satan worshipping rituals & the films best sequence in which Patrick Bergin has intimate relations with Elena Lyons all inter-cut with Jennifer Lyons breasts & body being cut with a knife, nice.Technically Devil's Prey is fine, it's well made & competent throughout. The acting was OK & a couple of the girls here, especially Elena Lyons, are pretty hot.Devil's Prey is a decent attempt at a teen horror, it's not the best but it's far from the worst & I personally think it's worth a watch if your a fan of the genre & aren't too demanding. Not a bad effort. One more thing when the satanic cult are referred to as 'the shadows' I take it it has nothing to do with the Hank Marvin & Sir Cliff Richard band?!

gridoon You know you're in trouble when you can spot continuity errors in the opening sequence of a film (check out the disappearing bra) without even looking for them. "Devil's Prey" is otherwise a well-shot movie, but it's just hokum of the ninth degree. The devil worshippers are a joke compared to the satanic cults in other horror films (and, although they clearly outnumber the heroes, they persist in attacking them one by one), and I hope Patrick Bergin knows that, after a role like this, his career has little hope of reviving. (*1/2)

chet19 I dig this kinda movie way more than the big budget Hollywood horror films, and it's just as spooky. A bunch of masked devil worshippers chasing people around the woods is about the jist of this flick, but there's more to it, with some cool plot twists that I didn't see coming. Some great photography sequences at the rave party scene.
