I'd heard the film had been trimmed of something, but didn't know precisely what until I saw that nearly half-hour's worth of material! Ha ha, I can see why it was cut I guess, because for a prefatory scene in a slasher picture, it does go on!<br /><br />But I'm always happy to receive information I may not know about movies like this! I find this sort of thing quite fascinating! And although my review doesn't really reflect it, I agree with you that The Prey is a pretty special little picture!

I frequently inflict it on friends, without warning.<br /><br />Did you know that this film was originally filmed in the late seventies? Director Edwin Brown shot a soft-core porno about gypsies seducing suburban women. That film seemingly wasn't completed. Later, he made his spam-in-a-van slasher flick and, for some reason, re-used the footage from his gypsy movie as the campfire story within "The Prey." However, for whatever reason, the repurposed porno footage was cut out of the final film, leaving it seriously short. This is why animal footage was inserted, to pad the picture out to feature length. I know this sounds unbelievably bizarre but I own the fabled explicit version of "The Prey." Truly, it does exist. That was probably more information than you required.Bonehead XLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545161927886923285noreply@blogger.com
