WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Nigel P This British/Irish film doesn't present a particularly reassuring image of the police force, at least not in the remote Scottish village in which the story is set. They are either using their patrol duty for sex opportunities or taking steps to make life as uncomplicated as possible for themselves. This is the environment new recruit PC Rachel Heggie (Polyanna McKintosh so good in 2011'a 'The Woman', 2014's 'White Settlers' and the 'Walking the Dead' television series) walks into.A mysterious man, known as Six (the always excellent and intense Liam Cunningham) arrives without explanation at the police station and is placed amongst the other prisoners held there – wife-beater Ralph (Jonathan Watson) and a small time crook Caeser (Brian Vernel). The colour-grading is hugely drab: all dawn raw blue and urine yellow. It induces a slightly sickly atmosphere.This is superbly directed by Brian O'Malley who manages to create some gory death moments virtually guaranteed to lift you from your seat. The ending, and the true identity of Six, remains enigmatic to the end. And yet there is a sense of closure on this particular night's events that satisfies whilst appearing to be end only of the first chapter of a continuing narrative.'Let us Prey' is a tremendous production that never slackens its pace and doesn't put a foot wrong. Love it.

lojitsu A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Let Us Prey" (NR - 2014 - Ireland)Sub-Genre: Psycho/ParanormalMy Score: 7.3Cast=5 Acting=9 Plot=6 Ending=9 Story=7 Scare=7 Jump=4 F/X=9 Psycho=10 Creep=7Held in a remote police station, a mysterious stranger takes over the minds and souls of everyone inside.I'm not sure who the mysterious stranger was...was he fate? Was he an angel of death? Or did Professor X turn evil? The way he goes about it was brutal and exciting...I can't say I understood it but I couldn't help but watch! The movie had kind of a Stephen King feel to it...you definitely don't want to be in this little black book. Watch this one when you get a chance!!

GL84 Arriving at a new police station, a rookie officer tending to a series of rowdy prisoners finds that the mysterious stranger who's just arrived at the station is somehow turning the officers against each other with their worst fears and tries to help them before it's too late.This one here was quite the chilling and highly intriguing effort. What really tends to work for this one is the fact that it really manages to work in quite a rather intriguing atmosphere here with the way it works in the Biblical annotations into the main storyline. Despite the constant quotations that let on far more than what they're truly about, this makes for a rather intriguing set-up that ties the religious quotations into the reasoning for why he shows up here to go after them, which comes from this strong set-up here with how the tormenting carries out. Going for the psychological mind-warp that attacks their psyche that really brings everyone out of their element due to suddenly being forced upon their long-held secrets and really brings out the action in the final half where they really go overboard with the action in that setting. With the fantastic brawling and beating that occurs here as nearly everyone turns on each other forcing this into plenty of rough fighting, brutal tortures inflicted upon others and tons of stalking scenes throughout here with the big chasing by the deranged corrupted officer, the gunplay is quite fun and the whole setting taking place in the burning inferno of the station makes for a wholly enjoyable and over-the-top finish which is quite the big plus into film's positives. As well as the strong beginning tempo with the big convergences in them getting to the station and the great blood and gore, these here are more than enough to hold it up over the few minor negatives here. The main issue here is the fact that it takes so long to get it going that it's really hard to get into it due to that relaxed pacing. There's little here other than just going through the motions of him playing mind-games rather than anything else and it has rather lame tactics doing that which is quite troubling as it follows through on just nothing of any interest here due to not having any kind of importance attached to these scenes at that point in time yet is given a grand importance to them. This makes for a troubling time during the beginning in this section, and it's all that's really wrong here.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and themes of child molestation.

hoytyhoyty This film was enjoyable, but several things tried to wreck it.The story was good, an archetypal one. M Night Shyamylan in one of his two good films - 'Devil' (the other being 'The Sixth Sense' and all his other output being unwatchable shyte) - covered the same material in a similar way: Strangers gathered, but why? A dark intruder with a purpose. Raise heat to simmer.The performances were excellent.That's all good, but some of the production choices weren't: * Took far too long, with too many meaningful looks. This undermined some beautiful cinematography and wonderful scene composition.* The god-awful jump-cuts.* The god-awful music accompanying the jump-cuts.* The hysterically bad opening sequence. The film nearly didn't make it to playing through for us. The opening finally, finally finished, and we declared "It's got 2 minutes more to convince us." It only JUST scraped in to a continued watching.If somebody got hold of the original tapes and an AVIS machine and just stripped and stripped and slashed and edited, this film could be a gem.- -- ---
