Critics Consensus

The rare action thriller that spikes adrenaline without skimping on character development, Prey is a Predator prequel done right.

Audience Consensus

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.

A great action movie with unknown actors. The fight scenes are fun and the plot moves at an appropriate pace and without any distractions. Best Predator movie since the original.

Great installment to the "Predator" franchise. I wasn't sold at first because i thought the Yautja was a re design which i didn't like but found out after its a different type from the same planet. Overall i love the native american representation and this movie worked spectacularly in the setting.

A fun take on the Predator universe. Seeing the Predator in a different era made it feel like this wasn't just a sandbox reboot of an existing character. I didn't really know what to expect while starting this film, so I had very low expectations for this film but was happily surprised and found myself intrigued and excited to see what would happen next in this film. If you enjoy this franchise, I certainly recommend it!

Loved it. It was great. Something truly different while keeping the story tied to the saga and explaining the origin of the gun given to Danny Glover at the end of Predator 2. Incredible.

Midthunder is excellent and quite believable in this role. I'll keep an eye out for future movies starring her. This is a fresh take on a (mostly) tired franchise.

This is a multifaceted experience ripe with the kind of blood-pumping adrenaline common in action movies of the VHS era, but elegiac compositions put it in league with today’s progressive arthouse trends.

The biggest complaint I have about “Prey” is that it didn’t have a theatrical release.

Easily the best film in the Predator franchise since the original, this prequel is brilliantly directed by 10 Cloverfield Lane filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg, with a home run of a star turn by Native American actor Amber Midthunder.
