Stardate 05.19.2022.B: 2022's 'The Prey: Legend Of Karnoctus' Looks To Satisfy All Of Your Middle-Eastern Monster Needs

Now I ask you: which among us can't appreciate a good monster movie and -- HOLY MOTHER DRAGONS?! WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT?!

I tell you: I love my job.

​Being on the cutting edge of modern entertainment has taken me years and years of building up relationships across the Information Superhighway, but I'd like to think I've expended my blood, sweat, and tears for the benefit of all mankind.  That's why I do get particularly thrilled when I can bring you some late-breaking announcements involving some upcoming fare that treads near-and-dear to things that go bump in the night.  Always remember: I'll do the research so that you don't have to, and we're bound to always come out on top together.

So in this spirit I'd like to bring a little something something titled The Prey: Legend Of Karnoctus to your attention today.  This looks to be a debut feature for screenwriter and director Matthew Hensman -- sometimes that bodes well, sometimes not -- and it stars just genre regulars as Danny Trejo, Adrian Paul, and Nick Chinlund.  And as monster movie promotions go, the movers and shakers aren't afraid to conceal this little ditty until the last minute: you'll find the creature playing prominent in the coming attraction for this genre gem that drops on demand in June.

I'll be copying and pasting the particulars below.  Readers are encouraged to check them out at your leisure.  I'll be reviewing this one in this space in the not-too-distant future, so keep your eyes peeled.  It looks to be a doozy.

In the Afghanistan desert, a group of mercenaries out for treasure complete their greatest heist. Seeking refuge from the hunting Taliban in a nearby cave, they are soon joined by retreating US soldiers, and both groups are trapped within by a rocket explosion at the cave’s entrance. The newly joined parties need to work together to find an escape through the labyrinth but soon realize they’re being tracked by a deadly beast that local legend calls Karnoctus; and they have become… the prey.
