Prooi (2016)
Know as Prey in the UK, this is a fun killer creature on the loose movie from Dutch director Dick Maas.
If you can believe that a large lion is on the loose in Amsterdam killing without getting caught over three days, then like me you'll probably have a great time with this. As with Amsterdamned (1988) and Sint (2010) there's some typically quirky Maas humour going on which i actually love. There really aren't many horror films with a humorous streak running through them that i actually really enjoy but Maas' films manage it (As do the Dead Snow films...must be a Scandinavian thing i guess).
However it's not just humour that makes this (And other Maas films). There's bloody gore galore as well as terrific characters to help drive the storyline along.
Fans of the movie Sint should love this as much as i because it basically swaps a killer Saint Nicholas for a big f*ck off lion causing mayhem in the streets of Amsterdam.
The UK dvd allows playback in English dubbed or subtitled Dutch.
