AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

sol **SPOILERS** Filmed on beautiful and sun drenched Santa Catalina Island the made for TV movie "Island Prey" is a West Coast version of "Fatal Attractions" where in this case it's the wife not husband who gets caught in the eye of the storm of an illicit and deadly affair.Looking to buy a 80 to 100 foot yacht Parker and Catherine Gaits, Don Murray & Olivia Hussey, get involved with the island boat expert Peter Thorton, Anton John Dennison, who immediately takes a fancy to the sophisticated and sexy Catherine who reminds him of his late wife. With Catherine's husband Parker leaving the island for the mainland for an important business meeting Peter sees his chance in getting "Cathy", as he calls her, alone and in the shack on his private bachelor pad his all in one, bed drinks and video equipment, sailboat.Spending the night together, in the most intimate of ways, Cathy feels that her affair with Peter is just what it is a one night stand and nothing more. It's later when Peter starts to call, at her and Parker's home, and run into Cathy at ever opportunity that she feels that he's somehow stalking her. At first trying to be civil with the extremely annoying Peter Cathy tells him to please lay off and, as kindly as she can make it, get out of her life.All this talk by Cathy about Peter leaving her, as well as her husband, alone only emboldened Peter to the point where he starts to blackmail her with a video tape that he secretly took of them getting it on together on his sailboat that faithful and extremely satisfying, to Peter, evening. Cathy knowing that she's not as innocent as she would hope that she is in her affair with Peter goes to her and Parkers lawyer Jay Roth, Edward Asner, for help in getting the pain in the a** Peter off her back. Jay right away sees through Cathy's act as the innocent as the morning snow wife knowing, probably from experience in handling cases like her's, that Peters attraction to her isn't that one sided but in fact mutual.Cathy letting all this get out of hand, instead of coming clean with Parker, has her affair with Peter to go down the road to destruction for everyone involved. Parker finds out about his wife's infidelities after Peter slipped the video tape, after he slipped into Parker's home, of his wife and himself having a go of it into their VCR. This leads a distraught Parker to leave his sea-side home at Santa Catalina Island wishing never to see Cathy again. Parker gets a change of heart when he realized that Cathy, despite her cheating on him, was manipulated by the scheming Peter, who it turns out is suspected by the police of murdering his first wife, and confronts him on his sailboat at the Santa Catalina Marina.The fireworks from that confrontation leads Parker to have a near fatal heart-attack with him ending laid up in the hospital on life support. It's then that the very sure of himself Peter then makes his move on Cathy, who by now has no one to look after her, and that move turned out be fatal for the smug and self assured Peter Thorton.The better then you would expect acting, especially by Olivia Husse, in a made for TV movie as well as the beautiful scenic photography in and around Santa Catalina Island more then makes up for the films very well worn and predictable plot. Peter Thorton beside his good looks and devil may care attitude in making Cathy's, and later Parker's, life a living hell also wore the most immaculately cleaned and pressed, I had trouble spotting a single dirt mark or crease on it, blue leisure shirt I've ever seen.***SPOILER ALERT*** It's just too bad that he had to get it ruined, with a couple bullets ripping into it, at the end of the movie.

superneptunechick Unlike another user who said this movie sucked (and that Olivia Hussey was terrible), I disagree.This movie was amazing!!!!!! Olivia Hussey is awesome in everything she's in! Yeah she may be older now, because many remember her from Romeo and Juliet, but she's wonderful! This story line may be used quite often, but it's a unique movie and I'll fight back on anyone who disagrees! I enjoyed this movie just as much as I have any other Olivia Hussey movie. Olivia's "my girl" and I love her work.I saw this for the first time on Saturday (4/14/07) and fell in love with it. Not only because's it's an Olivia movie, but because of it's unique story line and wonderful direction.

whpratt1 This story is about a sort of attractive middle age wife with some middle age problems around the waist, who is being neglected by her husband in the sex department. This gal is Oliva Hussey,(Catherine Gaits),"Headspace",'05, who is married to a very busy wealthy guy who just simply falls asleep as soon as he gets into bed. One day her husband decides to purchase a yacht and sends his wife off to settle the sale of the vessel. Catherine meets up with a young man, John Denison,(Peter Thornton),"Karla",'06 and Peter notices that she looks very much like his wife and he becomes very interested in her and they have a drink together. It is from this point on that things begin to go crazy and the picture speeds into action and the drama begins. Very good film for a TV Show, but sort of a copy-cat story we have seen many times before.

banders46 Don Murray plays an older husband wronged by his neglected wife in this rather thin thriller. It's "Fatal Attraction" reversed, with none of the heart-clenching moments and little sympathy for the adulterer. Olivia Hussey fails to sustain any believable level of emotion as she frets over the ramifications and complications of her wrongdoings, and it doesn't help that many of her lines are so vanilla-plain, e.g., "It's not a problem." Otherwise, the movie has a certain watchability due to the presence of Murray and Edward Asner (as the couple's bemused lawyer). Most of all, I wonder where a movie like this comes from, as I certainly don't remember it showing at any theaters.
