The plot = A young woman discovers that her loving husband is actually a serial killer and helps the police put him away, but when he escapes and comes after her, she heads to Australia where yet another psycho has his designs on her.
Okay Innocent Prey is not terrible, it just ain't a very good movie, despite the ridiculous storyline, I mean come on a woman finds out her husband's a serial killer and then moves to another part of the world and comes across another psycho, talk about far fetched It's like watching a bad soap only with nudity. PJ Soles is okay in her role but to be honest she isn't leading lady material, although I loved her in Halloween. The film twists and turns like an epileptic python, all the way to a downbeat and fairly cynical sting in the tail (which pretty much confirms that the makers were spoofing, at least partly, Soles' role in horror heritage). The other performances like from Kit Taylor who plays the husband was very convincing as a psychopath, but I didn't really find John Warnock who played Phillip the 2nd psychopath very convincing at all, I found his performance rather hammy and overacted.
The problem with this movie is that it's not very interesting and goes off balance from time to time and half the cast doesn't seem to look to bothered about it, like when the lead actress is attacked by husband through a window and she doesn't seem to try and do anything about it, well I just found that quite lazy. And the final scene was rushed and quite dull.
All in all I can see why this is well forgotten as it's quite tame and dull.
