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 pretty good compared to all the absolute awful previous movies that came out before it, finally a movie in the series that isn't pure trash. The effects and props were all really great.

Amazing! Best Predator movie. Sorry Arnold. And I love how they show Native American culture. I love the soundtrack: the Native American music makes you feel, the more action type music is amazing. It is perfectly blended between Native American culture and the alien. And then they brought in the frenchies 😆. I’m from Quebec so that was interesting. I want a sequel. So good!!!

This is definitely a predator film done right, as the story is gripping and the character development doesn't take away from the stunning action sequences and vfx. Whether you are a fan of the predator franchise or just enjoy a sci-fi action thriller, than this film is an absolute must watch. 9/10 for sure.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
