Critics Consensus

The rare action thriller that spikes adrenaline without skimping on character development, Prey is a Predator prequel done right.

Audience Says

If you can look past some dodgy effects, Prey is pretty much the back-to-basics Predator installment fans have been waiting years to see.

Amber Midthunder is fantastic, the sequences of violence are bloody enough, and the overall concept works to give the film its own identity. [Full review in Spanish].

I can't believe this movie is only at 74% with fans. It should be in the 90s. This movie is awesome. I watch a movie to escape reality not write a thesis. If your complaining about the whole female element that your just a bigot. Watch this movie and give it a 5 star review. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Is it really so hard to create new characters instead of destroying classic beloved ones??? This movie is a mountain of crappy cgi and instagram filters, made up to support an agenda.

Imagine the original with an almost complete lack of the tension, janky special effects, and very very dodgy french accents, and that's what this film is. Boring.

A true masterpiece. You can feel it from the first scenes. The immersive feeling and involvement are maximum. Worth seeing again and again.

I was disappointed with *Prey* (2022). The plot was weak and predictable — attempts at drama and tension fell flat, and the atmosphere didn’t engage me like earlier entries in the franchise. However, the lead actress looked stunning, and the costume design was impressive; the visuals were clearly given attention. Sadly, that’s all that stood out. Overall, I’d rate it a 5.5/10.
