Rachel, a rookie cop, is about to begin her first night shift in a neglected police station in a Scottish, backwater town. The kind of place where the tide has gone out and stranded a motley bunch of the aimless, the forgotten, the bitter-and-twisted who all think that, really, they deserve to be somewhere else. They all think they're there by accident and that, with a little luck, life is going to get better. Wrong, on both counts. Six is about to arrive - and All Hell Will Break Loose!

Let Us Prey Audience Reviews

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Nigel P This British/Irish film doesn't present a particularly reassuring image of the police force, at least not in the remote Scottish village in which the story is set. They are either using their patrol duty for sex opportunities or taking steps to make life as uncomplicated as possible for themselves. This is the environment new recruit PC Rachel Heggie (Polyanna McKintosh so good in 2011'a 'The Woman', 2014's 'White Settlers' and the 'Walking the Dead' television series) walks into.A mysterious man, known as Six (the always excellent and intense Liam Cunningham) arrives without explanation at the police station and is placed amongst the other prisoners held there – wife-beater Ralph (Jonathan Watson) and a small time crook Caeser (Brian Vernel). The colour-grading is hugely drab: all dawn raw blue and urine yellow. It induces a slightly sickly atmosphere.This is superbly directed by Brian O'Malley who manages to create some gory death moments virtually guaranteed to lift you from your seat. The ending, and the true identity of Six, remains enigmatic to the end. And yet there is a sense of closure on this particular night's events that satisfies whilst appearing to be end only of the first chapter of a continuing narrative.'Let us Prey' is a tremendous production that never slackens its pace and doesn't put a foot wrong. Love it.
GL84 Arriving at a new police station, a rookie officer tending to a series of rowdy prisoners finds that the mysterious stranger who's just arrived at the station is somehow turning the officers against each other with their worst fears and tries to help them before it's too late.This one here was quite the chilling and highly intriguing effort. What really tends to work for this one is the fact that it really manages to work in quite a rather intriguing atmosphere here with the way it works in the Biblical annotations into the main storyline. Despite the constant quotations that let on far more than what they're truly about, this makes for a rather intriguing set-up that ties the religious quotations into the reasoning for why he shows up here to go after them, which comes from this strong set-up here with how the tormenting carries out. Going for the psychological mind-warp that attacks their psyche that really brings everyone out of their element due to suddenly being forced upon their long-held secrets and really brings out the action in the final half where they really go overboard with the action in that setting. With the fantastic brawling and beating that occurs here as nearly everyone turns on each other forcing this into plenty of rough fighting, brutal tortures inflicted upon others and tons of stalking scenes throughout here with the big chasing by the deranged corrupted officer, the gunplay is quite fun and the whole setting taking place in the burning inferno of the station makes for a wholly enjoyable and over-the-top finish which is quite the big plus into film's positives. As well as the strong beginning tempo with the big convergences in them getting to the station and the great blood and gore, these here are more than enough to hold it up over the few minor negatives here. The main issue here is the fact that it takes so long to get it going that it's really hard to get into it due to that relaxed pacing. There's little here other than just going through the motions of him playing mind-games rather than anything else and it has rather lame tactics doing that which is quite troubling as it follows through on just nothing of any interest here due to not having any kind of importance attached to these scenes at that point in time yet is given a grand importance to them. This makes for a troubling time during the beginning in this section, and it's all that's really wrong here.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and themes of child molestation.
David Roggenkamp Truthfully speaking, this movie starts out slow – it takes its time acquainting us with the characters and getting to know their roles throughout the film. The name of the game is divine retribution as strange things start to happen and people pay the dues of their fate. The characters in this film are quite evil and play the part of normal person without err. The film is quite bitter in this respect and the characters have absolutely no regard for the rules, following orders or otherwise treating the other characters with formalities or respect.The film starts out slow, forty minutes in and it still wishes to acquaint us with the characters. I had to start skipping ahead to finally get to where the film delivers. It does get wrapped up nicely, but I otherwise wasn't impressed until the very ending. The film could have had a faster pace with more action; but it gets the point across. It is a good watch along with other films, but I would not recommend it by itself.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=9131).
Carlos Idelone This film has a pulse (echoed in the music), which just keeps getting louder and louder and faster and faster. Unrelenting, like a run-away truck down a hill. The focused steadfastness of "the stranger" is measured against the franticness of the rest of the cast. I find this film plays out a lot like "The Terminator" with a supernatural theme replacing science-fiction. Just like "The Terminator", it has no pity, no remorse and won't ever stop, until it completes its mission. The opening titles are great, arty and spooky. There's a lot of violence and gore, be warned. There are few movies, that I can watch over and over. "The Terminator" is one, and this film is another. Once I start watching them, it was like being on a roller coaster locked in , going up the ramp, waiting, anticipating the frenzied descent soon to come.
