The teaser for Vengeance of Prey, a gritty psychological thriller written and directed by Wes Davis and William Wymore, just dropped—and it’s already turning heads. Clocking in at just under two minutes, the trailer wastes no time plunging us into a dark and atmospheric world where nothing is what it seems and danger lurks in every shadow.
Shot in Oklahoma and proudly waving the Made in Oklahoma banner, this indie shocker is drenched in mood. The lighting is perfect, casting haunting silhouettes across a secluded barn where secrets unravel and the line between hunter and hunted gets increasingly blurred. A striking blonde in a vivid yellow shirt leads the visuals—her vintage look, down to the makeup and hair, hints that this bloody story may be unfolding in the 1980s.
A folk hymn weaves through the trailer’s audio like a ghostly lullaby, adding to the already chilling tone. Throw in a vintage CRT TV flickering with a news report on “The Commitment Killer,” a handcuffed woman pleading in warning, and brief, cryptic commentary from unknown voices—possibly news interviewees or something more sinister—and you’ve got a trailer that demands your full attention.
The final shot? Our lead, soaked in blood, shutting a door with a look that suggests the tables have turned. If that doesn’t sell you, the flood of glowing comments on Facebook and YouTube certainly will.
For true crime fans and thriller junkies alike, Vengeance of Prey looks like one to watch closely. This is indie tension at its finest, and if the teaser is any indication, Wes Davis and William Wymore have something truly gripping in store.
