Bizarre and unique in tone and pacing, I cannot think of another film quite like this. As per my review title, it brings to mind elements of Vampyres (lesbians living an isolated existence in a nice English country house, into which a man imposes himself); Xtro (a disquieting and uneasy tone, with an alien disguised as a man, quietly observing) and Whirlpool (a strange love triangle developing in an isolated house with possible murder hanging in the air).
Really, the alien aspect is irrelevant for much of the movie - it is more about the strange relationship between Josephine and Jessica, passively observed by Anders. It takes a long time for the plot and direction to reveal itself: is the "Prey" of the title the pair of lovers being observed, or.is it Jessica, prey to the manipulative and possessive Josephine?
Although certainly different, much of this comes to nothing, ultimately. It still score points for characters, events and vibes that linger on long after the film has finished.
