I chose to watch it as it was available for free and because the poster was not too bad. Written by Karyna Kudzina and Saro Varjabedian, the movie's plot was predicated on dubious assumptions - at the end credits there was the information about 85,000 missing children but this movie does not make chidren even a subject of discussion! Perhaps missing someone else... like mothers, could be relevant for the story! Even though the story moved at a very slow pace, it ended up being just watchable - that is, if you could get beyond how boring it was! The lack of anything really exciting or frightening made watching "Silence of the Prey" a bit tedious.

This movie plays on recent events happening in the United States, where hundreds of thousands of undocumented people are going missing. In this one, an undocumented person is sent to work for a creepy man out in the country for room and board. You can already see where this is going. I don't normally take too many chances on low budget horror movies but I did on this one and I am not impressed. There is more wrong with this movie than right. The acting is not it. The lead actress is kind of annoying. The chemistry between the two leads is nonexistent. The editing is like something you'd see from the Sci-Fi channel at 2am. The writing fails to scare, at all. I've seen worse, but I've seen alot of movies. You might be able to sit through the whole thing. The soundtrack is good and the poster looks legit. Other than that, there's nothing to rave about.

Not very good , but not as bad as the rating suggests ))) My point is simple : if I watched the film to the end and didn't spend significant amount of time on the phone either ) It means , that the film was reasonably captivating ... Story was used before many times , acting definitely amateurish , effects are half decent , but , to be reasonably objective , I can not judge it too harshly : for a very simple reason , this is a first attempt of this team to produce a movie .And that fact alone , makes me wonder what they will do with bigger budget and better actors ?Overall , not a must see , for sure , but ok for a one time watch.
