Synopsis
Former Texas Ranger Jimmy Kincaid (Dermot Mulroney) is recovering from a heart attack in a Houston hospital when he discovers he is in the same facility as the man he put behind bars years ago: the sadistic serial killer Anton Frye (John C. McGinley) . Disguised as a doctor, Frye unleashes bloody chaos and takes Kincaid hostage. Kincaid's ex-fiancée, FBI agent Carmen Lopez (Natalie Victoria), races against time to save him, while a relentlessly ringing phone torments Frye . The film becomes a tense cat-and-mouse game within the confined, claustrophobic space of the hospital .
Editor's Review
Perfect Prey takes the classic crime-thriller formula and traps it within a closed hospital setting, promising an experience that will make you forget to breathe . With Dermot Mulroney as the ex-Texas Ranger and John C. McGinley as the psychopathic killer, the film delivers a high dose of action and suspense . Could a persistently ringing phone be the greatest enemy of a murderer who turns a hospital into a bloodbath? This unsettling detail adds a unique layer to the film's atmosphere . While critics are divided on the performances and pacing, it's an unmissable opportunity for fans of low-budget indie thrillers ."
