Truly disturbing, The Naked Prey has virtually no dialogue yet somehow required two writers to come up with it. The concept is simple: Men on an African safari manage to piss off the local tribesmen, then end up captured and put to death one by one. One man is fed to the cobras, another is covered in clay and baked over a fire (egads!), and another is cut loose so he can be hunted. The bulk of the film feature Cornel Wilde (known only as "Man") on the run, only a few steps ahead of his unflagging assailants. It's real edge-of-the-seat stuff, and though it isn't all that well made (Wilde also directed and produced) it's still a spine-tingling, unforgettable classic.
