The Naked Prey Full Movie

Gordon B 12 Mar 2008

I had relatively high expectations for this film (something I usually don't allow to happen) but I don't think anything could have made me really like this film. I found it profoundly racist, utterly superficial, and surprisingly drawn-out for a 95 minute film. However, it does have a unique-quality to it and some redeeming elements that made the viewing experience enjoyable. My main problems occur when one retrospectively examines the issues and events of the story...

No middle-aged, scion-of-Western-civilization, white guy is going to outrun, outsmart, and outlast a war party of Zulu tribesmen in a footrace across the Serengeti at the drop of a hat, which is exactly what this film portrays.The Naked Prey is not a horrible film, in fact it's downright entertaining, but let's be absolutely truthful about calling it for what it is. It is 96 minutes of pure, unadulterated machismo fantasy ... but we are talking about movies. Fantasy. Entertainment. And so, with that caveat in mind, let me add that this film heartily achieves just that. Hemingway would love this balls-to-the-wall adventure story.

The Apocalypto team took a few notes from this. An often brutal movie to watch with some dry spots, but worth a viewing.

Cornel Wilde was always fine of physique, so who can blame him for wanting to star in a film where he is naked and alone on screen throughout the movie? One might wish he had done the film about 15 year earlier when he was more in shape, his middle age not so cruelly revealed in a loin cloth. "The Naked Prey" (Ooooh, naked!) is an odd, creepy, self-indulgent film with uninteresting characters and too much raw flesh on display, a constant reminder that life, alas, is an endless race for survival.

Harrowing adventure film from producer/director/star Cornel Wilde. Some very effective, nearly "pure cinema" filmmaking with little dialogue and excellent use of sound, editing, and authentic African locations. The production values are uneven at times - there's some patchy stock footage work - but it raises some fascinating questions about the notions of humanity and savagery, while still being a suspenseful and action-packed thriller. An absolute classic.
