IFC Midnight Hunts Creature Feature ‘Prey’
IFC Films has acquired Antoine Blossier French creature feature Prey (Proie), which will go out through the recently launched IFC Midnight label, reports Screen Daily. Prey tells the story of a family at a rural retreat who realize they are being hunted. Inside you’ll find a long synopsis, trailer and link to a bunch of images.
“In his stepfamily’s countryside retreat, Nathan knew that the traditional autumn family reunion was going to be particularly stormy. Claire, his wife, had to announce her recent pregnancy and tough decisions would need to be made to prevent the family’s pesticides business from closing down.
But on the first night, a terrorized deer mysteriously attacks Claire’s father. The men decide to venture into the surrounding forest to find the reasons of the animal’s odd behavior.
Carrying a shotgun for the first time in his life and witnessing the growing tensions between the father and his sons, Nathan soon discovers that the hunting season is not over yet.
Now they’ve become the prey.”
