The Prey2011
Directed by Eric Valette
The premise
A robber escapes from prison with a single objective in mind: to track down his former cellmate, a serial killer who intends to pin his crimes on him. A cop is sent after the robber who, despite his best efforts, soon becomes Public Enemy Number One. As the protagonists are driven to their limits, it becomes increasingly unclear who is the hunter and who is the prey.
Horror Vault's take
A hardened robber breaks out of prison for reasons that have nothing to do with freedom — and everything to do with stopping a monster only he knows is on the loose. With a determined detective closing in from one side and a calculating serial killer operating in the shadows on the other, he finds himself trapped between two pursuits. This French thriller keeps the tension coiled tight as loyalties, identities, and motives blur at every turn. The question of who is truly dangerous — and who deserves to be caught — drives the film to a breathless conclusion.
