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

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 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. [Full review in Spanish]. Rated: 4/5 Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Shakyl Lambert CGMagazine Prey is a bloody and badass return to form for the Predator franchise. Rated: 8.5/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew 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.

Corey J A fantastic prequel I that gets the franchise back on track with a basic story of survival against a killing machine with a massive technological advantage by using wits and knowledge of the natural surrounding to the leads advantage. Amber Midthunder was great and helped build great tension as you rooted for her throughout the movie. The visuals were spectacular. It's a shame the failure of the previous installment in the franchise cost this a theatrical release because this movie was a hit. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Yuri B Naru’s wide-eyed stare matches her one-note character arc: defy everyone, cause chaos, get people killed — and somehow be the hero. The Predator, on the other hand, has a clear code, consistent behavior, and ironically ends up saving her twice. He’s the only character with integrity. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review David J Fun return to the Predator universe! Interesting take on the original formula and love that it adds depth and interesting to this established franchise. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Bless Y Absolutely wonderful! A different take on the Predator franchise. It captured the beautiful atmosphere and environment of the film. Prey has Naru as a smart protagonist and I admired her sheer will and strategy. Taabe is also a brilliant warrior and a good brother. The acting is realistic, the pacing is just right, and the plot kept me glued to the screen! My top favourite film as of today! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Aaron C Amazing film, goes the original a run for its money.. Amber Midthunder does an excellent job Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Scott H Name a cast member from this movie? Bet you can’t. Hollywood needs to onboard the fact that only Arnie can take on a Predator. Case closed. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
