    Best Independent Film Ever

    With crazy visuals and a compelling story, Prey Alone is by far one of the best films I've seen in my entire life. The plot twist was a bit strange, but very cool. As the site indicated, all loose ends were tied in one awesome swoop, using flashbacks and narratives to convey the twist. The cinematography was top notch, especially considering the fact that the entire thing was shot on a bluescreen; effectively limiting the camera angles. Editing was spot-on as well, bringing awesome voice overs and cool cuts and fades into play.

    Prey Alone is one of the greats.

    10/10, and Bravo.

    Captivating short movie with solid acting and excellent effects.

    I have just finished watching this movie and I must say I'm blown away. First off, it's been done on a budget of around 80,000 dollars ( I'm not sure if it's dollars, or euro ) and by a handful of talented irish people.

    I've found that this movie boasts an atmosphere similar to that of the first Matrix ( the good one ), noticed the dominant dark green colors, the plot unwrapping over time, the confused characters. All in all it's very well edited and really captivates the viewer for its 15 minutes of run time.

    The entire movie is shot against green screen. That means all that's real are the actors and some hand props. Filming was completed in four days, leaving the rest to be done on computer. The visual effects were done in 3dsmax and adobe aftereffects and I must say they are gorgeous: lens flares, cars, planes, scenery, everything blends in just right with the whole movie, creating a new feel to it.

    I really loved the ending and the way everything makes sense in the end. I recommend taking the time to get this short movie and watching it. Makes you think a little about life.

    One of the best short films I have ever seen.

    This is an absolutely stunning short film that captures the spirit of the Matrix and Sin City and distills it into fifteen minutes.

    Shot using green screen and with almost no sets the film is the perfect combination of special effects and intelligent storytelling. The acting is good, mindful of the genre it is working in, but perfectly suited to the story. The special effects aren't blockbuster standard but for the budget they are very impressive and they are never bad enough to distract you from the story.

    Hardly subtle but undeniably thrilling which is very very rare for a short film these days.

    Wow!

    I watched this film online and if I hadn't read the description of what it was first, I never would have believed it. Apparently, aside from the actors and some hand props, this entire short film was made using computer generated graphics--all of it. And in the fifteen minutes it runs, there are more chases, explosions and action in an entire DIE HARD movie.

    At first, the film seems to have an ill-developed plot, as I felt a bit lost. If you feel this way, DO NOT stop watching--let the film continue until it ends and it will all make sense--trust me (have I let you down before?).

    A wonderful achievement and a heck of a film considering how it was made.
