What to Know

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.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Despite some dodgy CGI, this Dan Trachtenberg-directed thriller never stops being what you need it to be: totally entertaining. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) For my money it’s the best since the original. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Shakyl Lambert CGMagazine Prey is a bloody and badass return to form for the Predator franchise. Rated: 8.5/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew 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 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Tamma Moksha The Hindu With great casting, character writing, and cinematography, Prey becomes a welcome addition to the popular franchise.

Julio R Really a good entertainment movie from the beginning to the end. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Lou M Surprisingly good. More action than dialogue, it struck a great balance Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Carl H the film is much better than I was expecting having read mixed reviews, I couldn't picture how a Comanche was never gonna take down a predator. The buildup and story works quite well keeps you interested throughout the film. There are a number of action scenes building up to the end which keep you interested. the introduction of different elements that slowly wear the predator down makes the story more plausible although I did find the final fight quite implausible but mildly entertaining Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Zach H I loved the original predator but prey didn't capture the same action or horror of the original movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review David Silver S Prey sends us back to the time when films are simpler and original. No bullshit, no time wasted, this film reminds me of how Predator 1 is all about. Raw, honest and brutal Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: Bom Atuação: Ok Roteiro: Ruim Caracterização: Bom Soundtrack: Ok Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
