The perspective is dated and patronisingly colonial, but as a film it is gripping to the end. Almost no dialogue and wonderful widescreen photography of the African bush. The tribal scenes are unique in my experience.

Ah, yes. We've all had days like these: Prancing nekkid around the wilderness, shooting hapless wildlife with bow and arrow, setting fire to shrubbery and killing the fuck out of the natives. This is how a true gentleman of the Empire spends his free time.

The gripping, hour-long chase in this is a thing to behold, and the African landscapes and wildlife are beautiful. The acting is, however, amateur, and the scenes with Man and Boy are fairly weak, despite being well intended.

Some sticky racist issues aside, this is pretty entertaining. I've always gotten a kick out of movies about men being hunted, and this delivers well enough on that premise, even if it's not great. Some really nice photography of Africa, too.

As a Most Dangerous Game-esque adventure, it serves just fine. As social commentary, it's a bit lightweight in my opinion, but not inelegant. As for the craftsmanship, it's pretty good (except for one shot where a car passing by is clearly visible in the background). Overall, a fine film but not a particularly remarkable one.

African adventure movie stripped of glamor, movie stars and melodrama. Primal life and death struggle featuring impressive scenery from real African locations, and real African warriors. This Naked Prey guy is who Jeff Probst dreams of being!

Though the film does have some novels scenes, and the distilled primal chase is quite entertaining, the film has not aged well, especially in the editing department. Still, it's definitely worth watching.

Does an awful lot with awfully little. With hardly any dialogue and no particularly likable characters you'd think a movie about a chase through the jungle would quickly run out of steam, but it's gripping to the end. The editing could be better but the film is visually rich, the pacing is excellent and the commentary on human nature is simple but effective.
