John Carpenter is the thinker behind many classic horror films, and his undone 1970s script Prey tolerates striking resemblances to the Wrong Turn. While Carpenter appears to have gently retired as a director has not helmed a movie since the 2010s The Ward, his inheritance as a filmmaker was long ago confident. John Carpenter is most renowned for his repulsion work. However, he’s plunged into many categories, including action, sci-fi, drama, comedy, romance, and often a combination of multiple genres, such as sci-fi or horror masterwork The Thing or sci-fi or romance Starman.
Carpenter turned out a stable stream of films.
From the late-1970s to the mid-1990s, Carpenter would turn out a stable stream of movies, many of them iconic masterpieces, some with enthusiastic cult followings, and of course, a few backfires too, as is accurate of nearly every director. Still, Carpenter’s elegance and inspired voice are so exceptional and predominant throughout his work that even lower-level Carpenter is often still worth seeing. While Carpenter’s biggest hit is 1978’s Halloween, his career didn’t begin there, having already directed 1976’s Assault on Precinct 13 and 1974’s Dark Star by then. John Carpenter also wrote numerous films in the 1970s he didn’t end up running, and Prey. If it had indeed been made, it would’ve been one such creation. It’s a disgrace Prey didn’t come to pass, as it’s a departure from the other horror cinemas Carpenter made, at least to an amount.
