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 Bryce Hanson 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 Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Gavin Spoors FILMHOUNDS Magazine Fans of the series will be treated to a terrifyingly awesome Predator prequel that feels fresh and original. Rated: 4/5 Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine Amber Midthunder is fantastic, the sequences of violence are bloody enough, and the overall concept works to give the film its own identity.

Ink C Really good and opens up so many more possibilities for the future of the franchise it might've taken awhile to get here but at least were here Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/31/25 Full Review James B Prey gives fans what they have craved for a predator movie. Action, character development, and great cinematics. It does take a minute for the action to ramp up but when it does the scenes with the predator in it are well worth the pay off. It sets up the question "how would different predators throughout history fair against different civilizations." Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/25 Full Review Harold C. A lean, action-driven entry with a strong lead, sharp visuals, and an inventive setting, this film proves the Predator franchise still has real bite — even if a few logic bumps and a low-key score hold it back. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Daniel P. It’s a good looking movie, well made, in fact the movie looks a little TOO good, too clean. No grit, a little film grain might’ve gone a long way to giving us that authentic Predator feel. The premise is interesting & the setting is fine. The time period is pretty much wasted though, I’m sure the Comanche Indians back in the 1800’s were tough people sure but how would they know martial arts? You may as well give the characters modern weapons as well since the time period is completely meaningless. Yes show us that single shot rifles have to be reloaded but Comanche Indians are out there fighting French soldiers like they were trained by Donnie Yen. It’s an entertaining movie but has none of the grounded realism of the original film or even the sequels. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Moody C Didn't know this exists until I search for all Predator movies ranked and this is at number one. So boring and one of those slow burners where nothing happens for first hour. Protagonist fights with a bear, I mean is that why we watch Predator movies? Lol. It's beautifully shot but just too boring for me and also, it remains B level material since the Native American characters speak English which I understand accessibility issue for some but hinders authencity department greatly. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review tgup Super entertaining. Well worth my watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
