Prey Alone (2004)
10/10
Captivating short movie with solid acting and excellent effects.
10 July 2005
I have just finished watching this movie and I must say I'm blown away. First off, it's been done on a budget of around 80,000 dollars ( I'm not sure if it's dollars, or euro ) and by a handful of talented irish people.

I've found that this movie boasts an atmosphere similar to that of the first Matrix ( the good one ), noticed the dominant dark green colors, the plot unwrapping over time, the confused characters. All in all it's very well edited and really captivates the viewer for its 15 minutes of run time.

The entire movie is shot against green screen. That means all that's real are the actors and some hand props. Filming was completed in four days, leaving the rest to be done on computer. The visual effects were done in 3dsmax and adobe aftereffects and I must say they are gorgeous: lens flares, cars, planes, scenery, everything blends in just right with the whole movie, creating a new feel to it.

I really loved the ending and the way everything makes sense in the end. I recommend taking the time to get this short movie and watching it. Makes you think a little about life.
