Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, "Prey" is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.

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.

The rare franchise installment that finds a fresh, compelling spin on the material while also effectively drawing inspiration from the original without being suffocated by it.

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].

It does many smart things —simplification of the character's ethos, First Nations setting, the casting of Amber Midthunder as the lead— but overall it's a run-of-the-mill actioner good enough to make us wonder why it didn't get a theatrical release.

Rated: 2.5/5

It's a shame that this film had no theatrical release. The cinematography is gorgeous and it is doing justice to both the Predator franchise and good cinema. The energetic action sequences contrast the family drama respectively Naru's path to being a heroine very well. It definitely feels like Predator, but could also have stood on it's own without an alien hunter appearing. It was a nice touch to have the settlers being imcomprehensable brutes and have this cast present indigenious people like real humans and not just a threat to overcome.

Flat, poor writing, without drama or intensity. Anyone who rated this positive is a dull, useless wit.

Absolutely flat and made zero sense. They made the predator seem like the dumbest thing alive. She was withing 2 feet of him like 10 times, your telling me he couldn't have killed her every time. The director is different than the others which explains a lot. Don't waste your time with this one if your into predator logic. The girl couldn't kill a rabbit then goes and kills a trained killing machine... I don't think so.

If you want to enjoy this, ignore the logic flaws! I found myself getting frustrated at times. She can't kill a rabbit with an axe but wants to risk her life and that of others to go out and kill something deadlier than a bunny? She almost gets killed twice, once by a mountain lion and second by a bear. It was through pure luck that she survived. And that gave her more confidence to go out and kill an extraterrestrial being who can hoist up a grizzly over its head? I would personally start with something smaller, like a deer, something that won't hunt me down and eat me the moment I screw up my axe-throw. Other than that, the action sequences are fun. The french fur trappers are moronic and cartoonish like characters from an Asterix & Obelix comic. All that said, the premise is intriguing, and would love to see more of the Predator franchise along this route. Great for a Friday evening popcorn movie.

Great consistency, just another male leading role somehow dominated by a female once again becoming a unmatched against All Odds against her becoming a yet another unrealistic trained Warrior of all the Arts. Played out an overrated.
