Prooi
Dick Maas / NL, 2016 / 108 min.
In his Dutch answer to Jaws, Dick Maas sets a bloodthirsty lion loose in Amsterdam. A vet and an eccentric lion hunter hunt it down in this comedic thriller, in which Maas targets the authorities with sardonic glee.
Just outside Amsterdam the police find a farmer’s family who have clearly been partially eaten. No one believes Artis zoo’s vet Lizzy (Sophie van Winden) when she says a large lion caused the bloodbath. Only when victims start being found in the Vondelpark, do the authorities call in the help of eccentric, English lion hunter Jack (Mark Frost).
