Rookie cop Rachel 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 they really deserve to be somewhere else.

Leave your thoughts about Let Us Prey.
| StarburstAndrew MarshallLet Us Prey feels at once classic and modern; horror the way it was always supposed to have been made. You will not be disappointed. |
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinLet Us Prey is one of those idiosyncratic indie horror oddities. It is by turns inventive, pretentious, trippy, mis-structured, sometimes visually wrenching, with a dark mood that lingers in the mind well after it ends. |
| Film Ireland MagazineDonnchadh TiernanLet Us Prey is a great day in the cinema for horror-fans and should probably be avoided by flirters with the genre, though I'll steer no one clear from this if I can help it. |
| Playback:stlSarah Boslaugh...if the storytelling is a bit loose, it's more than made up for by the splendid cinematography of Piers McGrail and O'Malley's knowing exploitation of horror tropes. |
| Cairo360Marija DjurovicWhile Let Us Prey is far from original... it's an unconventional and entertaining piece of film that maintains its suspense and terror in the minds of its audience from beginning to end. |
| Film ThrillsDeirdre CrimminsThe mystery of the stranger is enough to stick with the story, but the dirty cop portrayals were clichéd and uninteresting... [but] the second half is a bloody good time. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt wastes too much time to set-up the over-the-top fire and brimstone third act. |
| The ListHenry NorthmoreDebut director Brian O'Malley has crafted an intriguing horror flick that, aside from a few cheap scares, attempts to avoid tired clichés. |
| TheHorrorShowScott WeinbergHalf an homage to horror stories you already know, and half a collection of themes, ideas, moments, and shocks you might not see coming. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a stagy and wholly uninvolving mess that's something of a chore to sit through. |
