A Disappointing Continuation

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I didn't mind Brain Damage films once upon a time, I mean yeah sure they're low budget, look terrible, the acting is dire and..........wait where was I going with this?They were niche and though they were honestly pretty terrible at least a few had redeeming qualities. Sadly over the years these have diminished and Prey for the Beast is a fantastic example.It tells the story of a bunch of guys who go on a camping trip into the woods to catch up only to find themselves getting picked off one by one by a gigantic hairy creature.Being a Brain Damage film it looks awful and unsurprisingly so does the monster. The cast are dreadful, the writing is laughable and since it's a Brett Kelly film it's even directed poorly.Prey for the Beast is one of those movies that is best suited playing in the background of a party strictly for "Point of laugh" reasons.Dreadful through and through.The Good:Not, no and nopeThe Bad:Naff killsCinematography ranges from bad to embarassingStock screams, lots of themInconsistent charactersAwful finaleJust bad across the boardThings I Learnt From This Movie:No matter how much you yell Jesus he won't comeThe best friends are the ones who don't even hesitate when it comes to putting you out of your misery, right?!

Brett Kelly for the love of cinema around the world please just quit already!I am one hundred percent serious and I am begging you right now to please stop making your awful movies. You are a terrible writer and director, proved by all your movies not one of them is above the level of "terrible"...Why are you even doing this? Have you somehow lied to yourself so much in the mirror that you think you are actually able to write and direct and act in a movie? You suck, you just suck I don't know how else to say it.Go and get a job a real job that will pay I'm sure more than these movies you tape on what looks like an old VCR camera with sound recorded in a tin can in a well.I think I have been clear enough but all you do is make these garbage movies and package them to try to trick people into actually buying them when they are all ripoffs of actual movies and not good or funny ones at that.I wouldn't even call what you do "movies"... I mean that seriously. Not trying to make you feel bad I'm just seriously saying what you do is wasting your life but also if you love cinema please realise what you are doing is ruining cinema for the rest of us... Your movies are the worst.

A ferocious beast kills whomever goes into the woods. All one really needs to know. How's that for pithy?? Not one of the better films in this box set.I didn't care for any of the creature fodder and caring about these idiots isn't really the main crux of this film anyway. It's all about the kill, but on this too the film stumbles as the death scenes are lackluster. The monster looks like something that could readily be bought as one of the (admittedly more expensive) costumes in Halloween Adventure shops across America and anytime he wasn't on I couldn't even stifle my yawns. Brett Kelly has proved that he's a capable low-budget director but one wouldn't realize it watching this one.

I watched this on a bored day and knowing it was a B movie. I was really surprised by this film. I was curious in watching on of Brett Kellys movies, Prey for the Beast is my first film of his to watch (on Youtube).The film has very interesting characters and very good acting. Two of the girls actually acted awful but most of them pretty decent jobs. Brett Kelly played his role well. I wan't a little more gore and creative kills, but it does give you about two good kills a lot of screen or the same kill.My favorite thing about this was the editing style and camera shots of the forest. The creature looks fairly well for the budget, they shouldn't of showed at as much though.Check it out when you have a chance, if your into B movie horror that it is.
