Prophecy (1979) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a health inspector who is sent to investigate a civil war between a logging company and the local Native Americans. It becomes apparent some experiments have taken place and something is in the woods...but what could it be? Whatever it is it is happy to consume anything it comes across.
This movie is directed by John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate) and stars Talia Shire (Rocky), Robert Foxworth (Transformers), Armand Assante (American Gangster), Richard Dysart (The Thing) and Victoria Racimo (Ernest Goes to Camp).
I loved that this movie takes place in Maine by Mount Katahdin, where I grew up. The settings are perfectly selected for the storyline and the old school logging process was interesting. The movie is a bit slow and it takes 57 minutes till the first kill but the special effects for the creatures are good. There's a sleeping bag scene in this that's a 100/10 and an absolutely must see. I cracked up so hard while watching it and must have rewound that scene and watched it 10 times. The cast is perfectly selected and seeing Adrian from Rocky in a horror was fun. Racimo is smoking hot in this and I adored the ending.
Overall this is far from a classic horror movie but it is a fun one. I would score this a 6.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
