All the Warren's have there moments...

I guess Prey is the most difficult to like for a lot of people as it's got loads of padding, terrible dialogue and the kills are mostly offscreen. But... for me anyway, it sticks in the memory. It could be the strange atmosphere and/or the climax, which I won't spoil here...

Wasn't Legend of the Werewolf and The Ghoul also on the same label?

No, they were released via Screamtime. I have them both still on vhs.

I don't have them to hand at this moment but i remember when i reviewed them both in The Gothic Thread back in 2015 the only way i could take screen caps was to actually take a photo of the tv screen.

I think they are owned by London Films like the Warrens, so it would be good if a deal can be done. I guess it's complicated by Screenbound already releasing some and also I guess the fact they've been released in the US for a long time now that it might not be considered a profitable option... that hasn't stopped them pushing on with Hammer releases though

For me, Prey is comfortably the most original of Warren's horror films - let's face it, you're unlikely to go "God, not another film about a flesh-eating alien disguised as a human being shacking up in the middle of nowhere with two lesbians who don't know any actual human males and so think that his bizarre behaviour is normal" - which helps keep it going over the longueurs.

But I'd gladly have cut the lesbian sex scene to about ten seconds - it's quite fun to watch in the knowledge that neither Warren nor his actresses knew what lesbians actually did together (it's more entertaining to watch with the commentary than with the original film soundtrack), and I obviously understand the commercial imperatives, but the film basically stops dead at that point.

Yep,a masterclass in what you can do on a ten quid budget.

A lot of American trash auteurs could’ve learned a lot from old Norman.
