The Prey: Legend of Karnoctus doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel when it comes to updating monster movies of its kind and the ending does feel rather rushed.

The Prey: Legend of Karnoctus has a few issues here and there, but overall, it’s a fun watch for those willing to go along for the ride.

6/10

The movie’s spectacularly goofy plot and low production values are counterbalanced by surprising chemistry between its principal cast, some tense situations, and an endearingly silly monster.

This movie Kicks Butt! Feels like a Monster movie from the 80’s, like the type I rented on VHS back in the days! Love it!
