3/5
Working with wunderkind cinematographer Piers McGrail, O'Malley keeps the carnage coming and images memorable. Go to Full Review
Mark Beaumont NME (New Musical Express) 06/02/2021
Ludicrous UK horror film with a twist you see coming from the very first shot... Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Great performances, nasty horror, and a rumination on the divide between good and evil. Go to Full Review

B
Let Us Prey is one of those idiosyncratic indie horror oddities. It is by turns inventive, pretentious, trippy, mis-structured, sometimes visually wrenching, with a dark mood that lingers in the mind well after it ends. Go to Full Review
Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills 08/21/2018
The mystery of the stranger is enough to stick with the story, but the dirty cop portrayals were clichéd and uninteresting... [but] the second half is a bloody good time. Go to Full Review
Donnchadh Tiernan Film Ireland Magazine 04/05/2018
Let Us Prey is a great day in the cinema for horror-fans and should probably be avoided by flirters with the genre, though I'll steer no one clear from this if I can help it. Go to Full Review

Chris S @Medicnco17 21h I went into Let Us Pray expecting a quiet character piece and came away moved and unsettled in the best way. The film’s slow-burning intensity is carried by powerful, naturalistic performances that make every small gesture feel loaded with meaning. Visually, the landscapes and careful framing create an atmosphere that’s at once intimate and slightly menacing, perfectly matching the story’s emotional rhythms. The screenplay balances restraint and heart: it trusts the audience, letting silences and looks do much of the work while delivering moments of genuine emotional payoff. Direction and pacing never overplay the hand, so the film lingers in your mind after the credits roll. If you appreciate thoughtful, character-driven cinema with a strong sense of place, Let Us Pray is well worth your time. See more Tasos L 12/14/2024 A flick you can sit and watch easily, without any surprises or exceptions. See more John H 10/04/2024 This movie is fine. A stranger shows up in town and all hell breaks lose. The small town police station is full of unlikely psychos with a lot of secrets to hide. It was interesting, but also caused a lot of laughing and eye rolling (not what they were looking for I would guess). See more Meydiana R 11/28/2022 What's the point of this movie?! Warning: Spoilers Why is this movie bad? From beginning to end, everything is just lacking in effort. Everything is overacted, everything is ridiculous, none of the character's actions make any sense, the one bit of cgi looks like something from "sliders" (the 90's TV show). It's just consistently awful, always, in every seen. Constant cringe worthy lines. I was tricked by a review. From now on when I receive advice on what constitutes a good movie, I'm going to click on the author's name and see what other movies they consider "good." There is no substitute for good taste. This movie was terrible and cringe worthy, from start to finish. See more David B 07/28/2022 Not bad. Simple enough story, ending was a bit strange though. See more 02/21/2022 I found Let Us Prey to be an above average horror thriller. Liam Cunningham and Pollyanna McIntosh lead a strong cast. The plot is dark and interesting if a bit convenient/contrived. More coherence in the story and more from Cunningham's "number 6" character would have been welcome. Otherwise worth a watch.
