A few weeks back we told you about the new Aussie horror flick PREY, from director George Miller and Top Cat Films. Today, a few weeks into filming, we’re given a bit more on the background of the film, as well as a new poster which just came out over at the film’s MySpace page.
The background of the storyline goes a bit like this: In April of 1987, two North Americans disappeared in the West Australian
desert on a 4WD holiday. They were never seen alive again. Their abandoned
vehicles and totally unused supplies were found in sand dunes near an
Aboriginal sacred site–less than an hour away from the closest town. Two
years later, in May of 1989, the two men were both found dead of natural
causes, on the same day, 1000 miles apart back in North America.
You creeped out yet? But wait, it gets better… the film’s synopsis: 3 couples
set out into the same desert and unluckily end up in the same area, at
the same time of year, with disastrous results.
These three couples, one from the USA and two from Australia, are about to
learn the horrible truth about what happens when your 4WD holiday goes
horribly wrong.
In the desert, in the night, in the dark.
This next year, preconceived assumptions about friendship, undiscovered
sexual liaisons, and false leadership come apart as the three couples
realize that the vacation’s over… They are now …
You guessed it… PREY! The concept sounds cool enough, let’s just hope they can pull it off… and that it ends up better than this early version of the film’s Official Poster. There’s bad, and then there’s this! It’s a low budget indie film, I get it, but that doesn’t mean the poster has to look low budget and second rate! Come on!
