- CuriosidadesAn alternate cut of The Prey which runs approximately 97 minutes (as opposed to the 80-minute theatrical cut) was released on home video in international markets. This version of the film eliminates much of the nature footage and several other connective transitional scenes, and features an extensive backstory chronicling the origins of the killer and the arson burning of his familial gypsy village. In interviews from the 2019 Arrow Video Blu-ray release of the film, director Edwin Brown and producer Summer Brown state that they had no involvement in writing or shooting the footage, and that an executive at Essex Productions was responsible for it, as he felt the film needed more nudity. The Arrow Blu-ray features both the original 80-minute cut and the 97-minute cut, as well as a fan-made composite of the two.
- PifiasCharacters' voices don't match lip movement; numerous instances within the first 5-10 minutes.
- Versiones alternativasA longer version was released outside of the USA that includes a lengthy flashback sequence (originally intended to open the film) that replaces the "Monkey's Paw" campfire story. In this version, Joel tells the story of a charismatic gypsy named Marco who seduces a local woman named Mary. When Mary returns home with a hickey, she tells husband Jake that she was raped. Jake and his best friend head to the gypsy camp with gasoline cans and burn it to the ground. The only survivor is Marco's nephew, a "cursed" 7 year old giant named Leo who was hideously deformed by the fire. Although there were many additional actors in this sequence, none of them were credited.

Reseña destacada
Gypsies, Tramps, and Cucumber Sandwiches
Last night, I was going to take a pill to get to sleep, but it turns out that The Prey works a thousand times better than any Advil PM. Obviously made to cash in on the Friday the 13th hysteria, The Prey features an admittedly attractive cast of 20-somethings who wander off into the woods and are picked off one by one by a charred gypsy.
There's not much rhyme or reason for anything that happens in this movie and good luck trying to remember any character names. Gail is the only memorable character simply because she has the annoying habit of checking and re-applying her makeup in pretty much every one of her scenes.
There's a fairly useless side character of a forest ranger who talks in baby voices to deer and eats cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches whenever we're not going on hikes with our leads. To make matters worse, every scene transitions to the next via overlong sequences of nature that go on forever. I'm convinced that, if you took these shots out, the movie would be 15 minutes long. I could almost believe that they ran out of money midway through and, when they got more funds, the original cast wasn't available so they decided to beef up the forest ranger scenes and nature footage just to make the film feature length (it barely qualifies at just under 80 minutes).
That said, there are some decent effects here and the music score isn't too bad. It's just a shame that, right as the film starts to take off, it ends.
