Prey Alone is a high octane, ball busting, roaring screaming chase movie set somewhere in the near future. It is in fact the first digital home movie. None of the backgrounds even exist - they were all created in computers. The only elements of live action in the movie are the actors and some hand props. It's not just an example of imaginative cinematic techniques, it has a powerful narrative with a thoroughly satisfying & clever twist in the tale that ties up all the loose ends and wraps up the experience with a big bow. Darius Cain is an NSA agent called in to interogate the only person known to have had personal contact with a mysterious killer known only as "The Fugitive". The only clue in the witnesses possesion is a notepad with the words P.R.E.Y A.L.O.N.E. written on it. After discovering that this is in fact the alphabetic representation of a phone number, Cain unleashes police, choppers and even jet aircraft in an attempt to apprehend the Fugitive. After a thrilling, destructive chase the Fugitive is finally cornered and aparently gunned down in a hail of bullets. As Cain approaches the car the Fugitive had been driving, he sees the Fugitive has disappeared, and all that remains is a dog-tag with the words "Player One" written on it. The camera pulls back to reveal the words "END OF LEVEL ONE" on the ground, and a flurry of flashbacks reveal that the witness knew all along. The cycle restarts with Cain being called in to interogate the witness, as Player One restarts Level One. [imdb]
