Une nuit, plusieurs cerfs se jettent inexplicablement sur la clôture électrique d'une exploitation agricole. Apercevant de profondes traces de morsures sur les cadavres des bêtes, les propriétaires de l'exploitation comprennent qu'un prédateur sévit dans les bois alentours. Décidée à le chasser, la famille d'agriculteurs s'enfonce au cœur de la forêt voisine. Stupéfaits, ils constatent que la nature environnante se meurt, ravagée par un mal inconnu. Alors que le soleil décline, des hurlements retentissent autour d'eux. Les chasseurs sont devenus les proies... (Rezo Films)

Don’t go hunting wild boars if the relationships among the members of your hunting team are not harmonious, otherwise you’re calling for trouble; such is the moral we can get from this new French horror flick. Prey is one of the few animal horror films that takes itself (and wants to be taken) seriously, which is a bonus. The problems, though, lie in the typically unlikeable French protagonists (I don’t know why, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen any nice characters in French horror), the too short run, and the premature ending – this film could have easily been ten minutes longer, the story had to continue in some way. But my impression is good overall, the pigs are a kind of villain that hasn’t had the chance to saturate us yet.

The atmosphere is good for a large part of the film, but Prey can disappoint in terms of its story, which is simply not strong enough to support the atmosphere. It ends up almost being a film that's boredom in disguise. So well disguised that for a while you'll even believe it's a really good horror film. In the end, it’s a rather mediocre horror film. Quite mediocre.
