YMMV / Devil's Prey

Go To

  • Alas, Poor Scrappy: Sam and Eric redeem themselves shortly before getting killed off. Eric in particular pulls off a Heroic Sacrifice to save David and Susan.
  • Best Known for the Fanservice: Elena Lyons - who at the time was getting some hype in lads mags and some TV shows - in a Black Bra and Panties is one of the most memorable parts of the film.
  • Cliché Storm: The film plays many a Slasher Movie cliche straight - responsible brunette Final Girl, promiscuous blonde friend, Black Dude Dies First - and subverts it in other areas.
  • Critical Backlash: It's a low-rated B-horror film, but it has got some positive reviews from people who find it not great but not as bad as it's slated to be.
  • Fetish Retardant: The sex scene between Seth and Fawn is decidedly un-sexy, since it's cut between shots of Sam being tortured.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Sam and Eric establish themselves as this halfway through the second act. Despite their nasty behaviour, Sam seems to have a troubled relationship with her father and Eric seems like he just wants to improve his life.
  • Narm:
    • Sam's rant about Fawn getting them killed would have been fine if she hadn't taken a dramatic pause and then said "because of a stranger!"
    • Joe's awkward "I did two months in juvey" as a justification for being the one most qualified to check if the coast is clear.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Fawn after she's revealed as The Mole can be quite terrifying.
  • Retroactive Recognition: One of the Bella Twins can be visible at the rave scene. This was during their time as models and extras in various films.
