SyFy needs to take a lesson from the producers and directors of Hunter Prey. Most of the crappy movies they show on the channel could use these people to revitalize their channel. Simply said Hunter Prey presents a compelling scifi vision that though violent and warlike in nature does entice the viewer to open his mind to the possibilities of what you are witnessing. The production design is obviously not top-tier Hollywood big production but that is okay because they pulled off the shooting and design in a plausible and decent way that allows you to believe the story taking place is feasible. Costumes and props are alien and high tech enough to be believed as workable and the actors deliver their lines well enough that you don't cringe with every syllable they speak. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was the length. I think they could have made it a little shorter by speeding up some of the scenes and judicious cutting of some of the exposition and drama shots. Other than that it was a great little indie scifi that was a good use of my time on a cold Decembers's day.

Hunter Prey
(2010)
An interesting film that could outshine the drek they show on SyFy.
