WorldFilmGeek fan favorite Franklin Correa is back with a new take of one of his earlier films.

A cult known as the Wendigo Clan hunts down various random people to appease their almighty creature. However, years ago, one man attempted to put an end to their plans. A survivalist named B.J. Vega. Since then, they have planned to seek revenge against Vega for thwarting their plans. However, he has died but they soon learn that he has a son, Steven, who is also a survivalist.

When Louie, Steven’s brother-in-law, owes money to a local loan shark, Lefty, he is given an offer. Lefty tells Louie of an upcoming hunt that will earn him the money he owes back. In addition, he convinces him to have Steven to join the hunt. When Steven learns the truth about why Louie convinced him, he’s not happy but soon finds himself ready when he learns the hunt is now what it seems to be. 

In 2008, Franklin Correa released the film The Prey, a survival thriller that meshed martial arts and elements of horror. Influenced by the likes of Sam Firstenberg, it would be a stepping stone into his career as an indie filmmaker. Now, he has brought a new take to the film, adding a new element in the form of a clan looking for revenge. Even with the new additions, it still works pretty well as we get to see Correa and team unleash their skills on screen.

Correa is excellent as Steven, who we see in his intro, being confronted by local scumbag Lefty, played by Donald Charles. As for the character of Louie, the troublemaker who gets Steven into this little pickle, Chico Mendez is pretty good. The chemistry between Correa and Mendez seems very natural especially when it comes to their confronting each other at the start of the hunt.

The fight scenes are pretty good as well. Correa, a 5th-dan in Ninjutsu, gets to show those skills with his fights against the likes of Gerald Adimondo and Jimmy Ayala. The latter especially after a shocking discovery occurs. The finale even sends in a jaw-dropping moment that was unexpected in a good way.

The Prey is actually a pretty good indie action flick that meshes martial arts and horror with Franklin Correa showing his talents both in front and behind the cameras. Definitely one to check out!
