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.

Come for the alien-human showdown, stay for the alien-colonizer showdown before Naru puts them both out of their misery

Horror Movie Talk

It’s taken... 35 years to get back to the basic premise of a primarily 1v1 fight between an outmatched human protagonist and the Predator in the wilderness. It’s like someone identified what worked in the original movie, and… used it to make a good movie.

Rated: 10/10

This film tells the gripping story of Naru, a young Comanche woman determined to prove she can be a hunter despite repeatedly falling short when it matters most. Brushed aside and mocked for her ambitions, she struggles to be taken seriously, even after discovering strange tracks in the woods and warning that something powerful scared off the lion her tribe was pursuing. Her people dismiss her concerns until the threat finally reveals itself. From there, Naru begins her relentless journey to face and hunt the Predator. Amber Midthunder delivers a tremendous performance, capturing Naru’s inner battle, her frustrations, resilience, and fear, as she grows into the warrior she longs to be. The visual effects are striking, immersing viewers in both the natural world and the terror that stalks it. It is a film that feels worthy of the big screen, but streaming will have to do. 90/100

Just out of nowhere this alien predator. No background just tnere. Start could have been a lot better with how this predator came about, why killing animals etc more action at the start would have been better and a woman with a bow an arrow kills the alien bit overdone Was on ok watch

After the Predator, I'd lost all hope in franchise. A huge fan of the first two movies and the monster itself I can remember my stomach turning at the previous film. Giant super Predators, terminator robot Predator, give me my money back please. This film on the other hand saved the franchise. Trachtenberg brings originality back to the script by simple going back to basics. An cool sandbox, a warrior Hunted and a bad ass Predator! All in all it's a brilliant movie.

Tensão absurda, ótimas atuações, ambientação perfeita e cgi impecável, com certeza um filmaço da saga, se não o melhor!

Sorry, the trope of a woman coming in and beating the predator is played out. I liked AVP better than this one. It had a female lead that inspired. This actress comes across as whiney and unbelievable.
