The Prey: Part One – The Influence
I’ve been wanting to do a little tribute to The Prey, one of the more underrated slashers, but as you may have noticed (or not!), I’m only on RS sporadically (something I truly regret), which means Prey week is looking like it might not happen. So instead, I thought I’d do my posts in piecemeal.
Today, I will present an interesting influence The Prey had on Wrong Turn:
The Prey:
I have always loved this odd camera shot featuring the back of this victim-to-be’s head. Moments away from terror and death, there’s something so strangely weird about this shot that compliments the surreal setting.
Wrong Turn:
Same hair, same camera shot. Co-inky-dink?

Amanda you certainly have a keen eye for detail. I’ve seen both and I never ever caught that!!
And THE PREY steals the frog impersonation from LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT!
