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.

3.5/5

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.

Perhaps not all fans will embrace this new direction, but there is something refreshing about seeing a saga that, at last, stops looking back to ask itself what it can be, and not what it was. [Full review in Spanish]

Come for the alien-human showdown, stay for the alien-colonizer showdown before Naru puts them both out of their misery

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.

Kino akcji pod pełną parą, naprawdę udany film. Szacunek za poważne potraktowanie materiału źródłowego. Widać, że film zrobiony przez fanów dla fanów predatora. Ciekawa historia i mega dobre wykonanie. Jedynie trochę naciągane fatality na końcu, ale można przymknąć oko.

The. Best. Of the franchise. Brilliant idea. Brilliantly executed. Ignore the few fragile men in here that somehow think it was brutal enough. Truly excellent addition to Predator. Blown away.

It was an interesting watch, until you see the predator. I mean.. what? It gave me alien from 4 vibes. Disappointing.

Prey (2022) An excellent film, I can say that this is the best in the Predator franchise, however there is also "Predator: Bodlands" which is also a great adventure full of action and science fiction.

Cannot understand how this got the rating that it did on here… had been wanting to watch Badlands, but thought I’d start with this.. especially after seeing the extremely high RT score…. But upon watching… this may be my least favorite film in the franchise… story sucked, the lead actress may be the worst actress I’ve ever had the extremely displeasurable experience watching… no one else helped. I always hate when people say that a movie can’t have believable elements when it’s a sci-fi movie like this, because small things, like a man being dragged presumably miles by a lion, then only have 3 scratch marks on his chest… no scratches from being dragged, hair looks like it was just done by hair/makeup… the actors and actresses just couldn’t be further off from the EXTREMELY BRUTAL and FIERCE Comanche… and let’s be fair… the Comanche weren’t letting a bitchy teenage girl run the hunt… the entire movie couldn’t have been more of a let down, and now I’m less excited about Badlands…
