Uncaged, A Lion in Amsterdam

Gotta love it.  If a gory killing has not happened in the past 30 seconds, just wait another few seconds.  Death counts that are off the charts!  "Jaws" had five peeps eaten by a shark.  Our feature today has 135 gory kills (okay, only a slight exaggeration).  Known for films of blood, gore, and disembowelment, The Netherlands has given us a nice one.  Okay, so I embellish about The Netherlands, too. Our feature today is the Dick Maas 2016 bloodbath, "Uncaged" (aka "Prey"). 

A couple of horny teen-age lovers are devoured by a lion in Amsterdam.  To make matters worse, the skanks mom and dad, and six year old sister are eaten moments later. Five dead in just a few seconds. This pace will continue.  Lizzy (Sophie van Winden), a sultry blonde veterinarian at the zoo is consulted by the police.  A detective named Olaf (Rienus Krul) asks Lizzy guidance and she tells him this was no boating accident.  She says it in Dutch so it may have got lost in translation. Now Amsterdam has a lion problem. The media is going crazy with this story.  Lizzy's two-timing BF, Dave (Julian Looman) is with the TV station, and will remain by Lizzy's side throughout this story hoping for a scoop or pre-marital sex.  He'll get both.

Okay, the .lion feeds often.  Children are eaten.  Delivery guys are eaten. Hunters are eaten. You name it. After a hunter, who is a pal of the chief, is eaten, Lizzy's ex-husband is called in. Lizzy still has feelings for him making Dave insecure.  Jack (Mark Frost) is the planet's best lion hunter.  He arrives.  Uh oh.  His last hunt did not go well and he shows up sporting only one leg and riding a mechanized wheelchair.  He also wants sex with Lizzy.  Lizzy, if I may say, is quite the Nordic babe and wears leather pants well. Jack is good and takes the fight to the toothy maneater.  The maneater is good, too, and almost seems to be expecting the one-legged hero.  Lizzy keeps looking fantastic even as she ploughs through the gore and hunk guys.

Where did this lion come from?  Will Lizzy go back to the one-legged ex-husband or will she opt for her two-timing lover?  Just how can a one-legged hunter confined to a big motorized wheelchair hunt a lion?  Gore will be the common theme throughout this entire film.  Oh!  The ending!  Wow!  You'll see.  For a fantastic creature film with a lot of kills and some nice gore, see "Uncaged."
