HIS SAVAGE HUNGER MAKES US ALL …. ALIEN PREY
The day after a weird green light is seen in the English sky, a strange young man stops at the country home of two lesbian housemates. It turns out that the man is an alien, and a hungry one.
While every available synopsis may read like a bit of a spoiler, PREY tips its hand to the audience almost immediately, and takes its time toying with expectations from there as the shape-shifting alien infiltrates the hermetic lifestyle of a queer couple for unknown reasons.
Directed by Norman J Warren (INSEMINOID, TERROR, BLOODY NEW YEAR) and featuring a gonzo freakout performance from Sally Faulkner (VAMPYRES), PREY is a surprisingly engaging (and occasionally hilarious) semi-sleazy slow burn sci-fi exploitation flick.
Hysterical and compelling: no-bra vegetarian lesbians forcefemming a dog-alien man so that they can have weird poly tension with him, interrupting his spree-killing of straight people and police officers. –Cate, Letterboxd
