Brilliant and touching

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

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.

Brett Kelly directed, wrote the story and starred in this. Four friends go to a secluded woods to have some man time after one of them has split from his wife due to her having an affair. Along the way they meet a monster that terrorizes them. Well, the woods do not seem that secluded as four girls have the same idea of a camping trip and happen to be in the same vicinity, and of course there are the two previous campers they find half dead after being attacked by the monster. So not really secluded at all !!!!One thing that I found irritating. Halfway through the party talk about getting out of the woods before it gets dark. Well darkness never comes. in fact the sun is so bright it looks like midday. Why is it in films like this people say "don't go off on your own" and then immediately some one says "I gotta go a pee"!!Actual shots from a helicopter add some thought of a bit of a budget, along with a decent monster and effects. But really we have seen this all before. If you watch this on the Catacomb of Creepshow box set, then I watched into the woods (two films ago) and this is very similar. Also similar to many "bigfoot" films. I was not bored during this and it did keep me entertained. So not all bad. Just a bit clichéd really. Brett Kelly appears to have made quite a few films and is still churning them out today, not all indie film makers can say this can they? So good luck to him in the future.

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.
