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.

Despite some dodgy CGI, this Dan Trachtenberg-directed thriller never stops being what you need it to be: totally entertaining.

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.

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

With great casting, character writing, and cinematography, Prey becomes a welcome addition to the popular franchise.

I love new takes on familiar monsters and that's just what Prey has done. It's truly as advertised, a coming-of-age story with the added twist of a woman trying to prove that she has much more to offer her tribe than the usual gender roles. Certainly a timeless ornament to add to the monster movie tree.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The latest installment in the Predator franchise comes in the form of a reversal of the roles as a mere human masters the hunt against a Predator itself. With clever tricks and gorey action as expected always, but a heartwarming story that cuts you deep to the bone, it makes for a roller coaster of a bloody experience. The culture of the protagonist’s tribe is interesting and the beginning of the movie grabs your attention immediately, and it never quite lets go. It’s a very satisfying watch and a welcome addition to the franchise.

I have never seen any of the other predator movies (besides clips) so I think this was really good! If someone is a die hard predator fan I'm not sure how good or accurate everything is but for someone just picking something random to watch on her day off, I definitely recommend it.

Absolutely terrible, the people that gave this over 90% oh man when they gave the original Predator 80% is laughable like so many of the reviews on this,, a bunch of Indians lol 1 who can't even kill a rabbit & who fights her own people like there in a playground taking on Predator, just not plausible,, daft idea, terrible music, terrible graphics, ok acting ill give it that, what's more to say, another terrible sequel ruining the awesome legacy these genius films created, watch the original and then Predator 2, way way better than this atrocity

I would have given it a 5 star but the CGI was evident in some parts. The acting, storyline and special effects were very good. I was entertained and anxious. Not for the faint of heart...lots of killing.

Along with the original Arnie Predator movie, Prey is the best in the franchise. A young komanchi woman is eager to prove that she is able to hunt like the male warriors of her tribe, but when an alien Predator comes to hunt her people for sport, she has to be ready to try and find a way to stop the technolically advanced being.
