    I watched the trailer

    Yes, I watched the trailer and that's why I gave it the benefit of the doubt and at least gave it a 2. All you have to do is see the monster to know your kids would laugh at it before begging to turn it off.

    Not great, but contains the best one liner in the history of cinema.

    I love a good B movie and this was firmly at the bottom end of the scale.

    I should have known as soon as I saw Danny Trejo's name. He's the kiss of death for any film.

    The dialogue is terrible. The opening scene to introduce us to the cast, is unbelievably bad. Some of the acting is sub-par. The effect aren't great... but somehow, if you take all that into consideration and know what you're going in to, it's bearable. There's just too much creeping through the caves whispering to each other and not hearing gunshots around the corner, despite being deep in a cave system.

    I opened with 'the dialogue is terrible', but it's well worth enduring this film just to bear witness to Nick Chinlund perfectly delivering what might be the best action movie one-liner in cinema history, just before his climactic fight.

    All in all, it's a fairly decent, low budget, monster flick, as long as you go into it knowing what to expect.

    Nothing to see here really, move along, move along...

    Well granted, I wasn't really harboring much of any particular high hopes for this 2022 movie titled "The Prey: Legend of Karnoctus", given the movie's synopsis and also because of the cast ensemble. But hey, I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance, and thus I opted to sit down and watch what writers Matthew Hensman and Gustavo Sainz de la Peña had to offer with this movie.

    And just as I had expected, then it wasn't a whole lot of great storytelling or entertaining movie that was delivered here with "The Prey: Legend of Karnoctus". In fact, the storyline is pretty simplistic, almost to the point where it was becoming non-existing. So you're not in for an extraordinary cinematic experience if you opt to sit down and watch what directors Cire Hensman and Matthew Hensman dished out here.

    The narrative is dull, especially since there isn't a whole lot of anything exciting happening throughout the majority of the movie. And watching American soldiers being trapped inside a cavern just hardly count as proper entertainment for me.

    The movie didn't really have an impressive cast ensemble, with the majority of actors and actresses being all unfamiliar to me. But hey, at least that is something I enjoy in movies, as the performers aren't associated with other previously portrayed characters or roles. So at least that worked in favor of the movie. Just a shame that the actors and actresses literally had nothing to work with in terms of proper script, storyline, characters or dialogue.

    "The Prey: Legend of Karnoctus" is a movie that came and went without leaving a lasting impression, much less actually managing to stand out. I do believe that come tomorrow, then I will already have forgotten about this movie entirely.

    My rating of "The Prey: Legend of Karnoctus" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

    Danny Trejo bait and switch

    I watched this because Danny Trejo was prominent on the poster. Do not be fooled as I was. He is in a few, brief scenes early on and then disappears for the rest of the movie.

    The movie starts with some Afghan guys in a cave somewhere doing...something. Making drugs? They get killed by a monster. Then it cuts to some unspecific special forces black ops guys planning a very vague heist to steal...something. Gold I think. They are planning on hiding it in a cave. Coincidentally, it's the same cave. Then we cut to a group of soldiers in a village...somewhere doing...something who are then ambushed by...someone for...some reason. They take shelter in a cave which is, coincidentally, the same cave again. I guess the special forces black ops guys were going to hide their loot in a cave right by a village for some reason. The entrance is caved in and they are trapped with the monster...whatever it's supposed to be.

    This movie is pretty bad. There are a couple of decent B movie veterans but most of the actors are pretty terrible. Most of them are not at all believable as soldiers. They scream, run around and randomly point their rifles at each other in a way that would get them kicked out of a local gun range. Most of the characters seem to have never heard of things like discipline or chain of command. One has multiple neurotic meltdowns and no one says a word. There is a part where people are hallucinating for some reason. Then it's just kind of dropped. It doesn't really serve any purpose but to pad the running time. The creature is only seen in glimpses early on. They should have stuck with that because it looks like crap. Once the monster starts attacking, it's just a pile of monster movie cliches until the cliche ending. It's not the worst thing ever but there are lots of better monster movies out there.
