"I wish they would F**KING BURN!"

"No one's safe without me! I wish it were your children! I wish they would F**KING BURN!....AYY!"

The desperate plea of a misguided host or the bizarre ramblings of a pedophilia-obsessed madman? The Predator's Prey, a C.W. Post advanced film, explores a fictional To Catch a Predator-style series, in which it is revealed that much of it is a setup. No character leaps off the screen of practically any film to come out of Post before or since more than actor Woody Gaul's scenery-chewing, eyebrow-gesticulating Dorian Phillips, the power-hungry presenter of the show.

This is the final line of the film, delivered once every character has abandoned and shamed Phillips for his awful scheme. What that scheme is only the film can illustrate, but needless to say he is left almost fanatically desperate. Why Phillips believes everyone's children should "f**king burn" if not protected by him is anyone's guess. His character in this film can be seen as a melodramatic, obsessive figure not unlike the great characters of Shakespeare- a kinsman of the mentally shattered Hamlet or the devious Don John the Bastard.
