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.

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].

I was really skeptical about watching this film not going to lie at first not really into the whole idea of it being a time period movie but man what a amazing film specially compared to the last movie from 2018

Beautifully shot and directed, this movie understands the appeal of Predator the original while also updating the theme by giving it a new perspective. Yes the cgi is weird at times especially the bear sequence but honestly who cares? cgi people are woefully underpaid and overworked as we all know. The new predator costume is absolutely beautiful and the interaction between the characters and the environment is beautifully realized. Finally a good new Predator movie, what´s not to love?

Bro one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t even deserve half a star. Sharnado was better than this crap. What was the point of this movie. Terrible. I had to watch this for my dual enrollment class and now I have to write a freaking essay on its theme. Chat this made no sense to me at all and I would rather gauge my eyes out than ever have to sit through such a horrendous movie. Negative ratings should be a thing and it should be applied to this one. CANT YOU SEE IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THE FLIPPING SEQUEL. Somebody just take me out back and shoot me while we at it. Have a nice day.

I can't believe this movie is only at 74% with fans. It should be in the 90s. This movie is awesome. I watch a movie to escape reality not write a thesis. If your complaining about the whole female element that your just a bigot. Watch this movie and give it a 5 star review. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
