The Friday Midnight Movie | ‘Prophecy’ (1979)
Mutant animals are roaming around the woods of Maine killing campers, walkers, and even camper and walker rescue teams. Brilliant, I love it already. Maine is a great setting for horror and animal revenge films are one of my favourites. Saying that Maine’s eternal stand-in British Columbia (Canada) is once again deployed here for penny saving. None the less the vastness of the woodlands and lakes are prime horror territory. Now first off the title is a little misleading, there is no prophecy to really speak of and the term prophecy, for me at least, always has religious undertones, there’s no such theology here. There is however angry genetic mutations caused by pollution and plucky experts (husband and wife team Robert and Maggie) sent in to discover the cause. Fairly standard stuff you say, well almost…,
