Prey

Synopsis: PREY tells the story of Nathan (BEAU TRAVAIL'S Gregoire Colin) who is at a countryside retreat for a Fall family reunion that he expects to be particularly stormy. Claire, his wife, has to announce her pregnancy and there are tough decisions that need to be made to prevent the family's pesticides business from closing down. But on the first night that the family gathers, a terrorized deer mysteriously attacks Claire's father. The men decide to venture into the surrounding forest to find the reasons for the animal's odd behavior. Carrying a shotgun for the first time in his life and witnessing the growing tensions between the men in the family, Nathan soon discovers that hunting season is not over yet. Now they've become the prey. Marking the debut film for Antoine Blossier, PREY brings together a special effects team from some of Hollywood's best films.

David!

David!

Dad!

I'm here. Come quickly.

Where are you?

Come here.

- I'm here, I'm here!

- Where are you, Dad? Dad!

- What happened?

- Damn, the shoulder!

I'm sorry.

Your damn dog woke me up.

He was barking like mad.

- Can you stand up?

- Yeah.

- I don't know what's got into them.

- Who? What are you talking about?

Do not move ...

Wait, wait ...

Oh, sh*t!

How long have you had that?

What?

That? That's nothing.

It's just my eczema.

It's been itching for a few days

but it's nothing serious.

What makes you say it's eczema?

Is that the tone you used

to persuade Claire to move into town?

Come on!

Oh, sh*t!

What is this?

Chemical burns!

How could I have got them?

That's what the tests will tell us.

How is my grandfather?

I think he knows

we're sleeping together.

He's well enough to tell me off

about taking you with me.

You should have that cleaned.

Don't you want to tell them

before we leave?

I don't want them to think

that's why I'm going.

Isn't it?

What's your father doing

in your mother's car?

Yes.

Yes, but no!

Tell him I don't care

if his mother is in hospital.

I want her at the factory

on Monday morning at eight.

Yes.

Marie ...

Is Claire the only one

who knows about the fertiliser?

Do not worry, go!

I like your father too much

to reveal to him what you're like.

- Do you understand what you did?

- I will find a solution!

You no longer have a choice!

- Dad!

- Do you think that it does not concern you?

Well, go there!

Why has he brought her back here again?

Do not worry. She can not do anything,

as long as we stay in our land!

She'd better not.

You can't miss a beast like this one.

No, Look at this!

It must weigh at least 250kg.

And this one's for me.

What are we doing?

Shall we take a look at the fence?

No, we'll go to the cabin first.

Then we'll go and look at the lake.

I'm warning you, David.

I'm a proper hunter.

- Surely you're not going to use that?

No, thank you!

- Look at it. It's a beauty.

Nathan, fancy a hunting session

before shutting yourself away in town?

She's waiting for you if you want to go there.

Oh, sh*t!

It's okay, take off your phone!

Yeah?

No.

No, it's all sorted.

What's in that file?

What happened this morning, puts everything into question.

I do not wanna let you go hunting.

Do you think that it is in your power?

This forest belongs to us.

If you go, you'll ruin my restriction policy.

If word's got out, that is.

What are you doing?

I'm coming with you.

Why don't you stay at the factory

rather than pissing on my patch?

Until further notice.

you'll be living off that factory.

- Hey!

- Hey, let's calm down!

Nicolas rights.

We need all the help we can get to catch that beast.

And our child?

I just need six more months.

You've been needing six more months for four years.

Don't start!

Whenever we do anything together.

you two have to argue.

I do not know ...

What with the work at the lab...

We can always have one later on.

Does your father realise

what he's asking you to do?

Does he have any idea

what it's costing us?

What do you want me to say?

Eric?

Your offer is still valid?

Yes!

What are you gonna do?

If you won't talk to your father.

I will.

I forbid you to do that.

Why do you think I got transferred?

I'm sick of your family

and the fertilisers and chemicals

you build your empire on.

I've kept quiet all these years.

letting him manipulate you.

Not this time.

Nathan ...

Nathan ...

Nathan!

Make your mind up.

Are you coming or not?

Leave him alone, David!

I'm glad you're coming with us, Nathan.

OK ...

Now we need to find the others.

- Are you OK?

Not really ...

Damn ...

Well, Move!

Why are you bothering with that?

You can never get it started.

When it was in working order.

I could.

When did we last come here?

Before your mother died.

Nice one, little brother.

You never miss a trick, do you?

Get out of the way.

A**hole!

Damn!

Damn it ...

Damn! sh*t!

Damn it!

For f***'s sake!

- Want a hand, Dad?

- No, I'm fine. Leave it.

Here. The rifles seem fine.

Thank you, Dad.

Dad, we won't get far with that calibre.

It's not the calibre

that makes the hunter.

We'll leave our mobiles here.

We don't want any more hassle

from the factory.

You can keep yours on you...

But turn it off!

Here, put this on.

It will stop you getting shot.

I thought you wore camouflage to go hunting.

Not with wild boar.

You sniff them out.

Here, you'll be needing this too.

Push back the catch

to finish loading it.

It's not easy when you're left-handed

Dad, have a word with David.

He wants to shoot it on his own.

Dad, have a word with David.

He wants to shoot it on his own.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Just keep an eye out for tracks.

- Did she say what was in the file?

- What??

Claire. Did she tell you

why she wasn't coming?

Just the usual.

Market pressures,

a competitor stirring up trouble.

You're giving your daughter

six months to come up with a formula.

- It's a family thing.

- It's your heritage that's at stake.

I couldn't let her go.

It's nothing personal.

It's just...

She's pregnant!

We were choosing names this morning.

Well?

It's not as if you can't

have them later on.

Like I said, now is not the time.

Don't talk nonsense.

Business has never been better.

Is that it? Aren't things going

as well as you claim?

What?
