Prey is a 2022 American science fiction horror action film directed by Dan Trachtenberg and written by Patrick Aison, based on the Predator franchise by Jim Thomas and John Thomas. It is the fifth installment in the franchise and a prequel to the first four films. It stars Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Michelle Thrush, Stormee Kipp, Julian Black Antelope, and Dane DiLiegro. The story revolves around Naru, a skilled Comanche warrior, protecting her tribe from a highly evolved alien predator that hunts humans for sport, fighting against the wilderness and fur traders to keep her people safe.

Development of the film began during the production of The Predator (2018), when producer John Davis was approached by Trachtenberg and Aison, with a concept that they had been developing since 2016. The film's title was revealed to be the codename for the fifth installment in the franchise.

Prey premiered at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 21, 2022, and was released by 20th Century Studios as a Hulu original film in the United States on August 5, 2022. The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised the action sequences, Midthunder's performance, visual effects, cinematography, and the Comanche representation.

Prey (2022)

How is this movie?

In a word, authentic!

It is authentic to the Comanche tribe.

It is authentic to the beautiful, beautiful landscape used as the back drop.

And most importantly it is authentic to the creature, Predator.

This movie blind sided me.

After all the empty promises made by the other sequels and cross over for the Predator, I did not have high hopes for it.

When it was announce that it would be via streaming only, I just rolled my eyes and said, there you go.

Having had the chance to watch it, this is a worthy prequel to Predator.

Why is it worthy?

It was true to the Predator movie (to the main creature) and took some tidbits from THAT movie, and wrote a strong story based on THAT tidbit and we have this movie.

I enjoyed this movie immensely.

My only complain is why is this on streaming only>

What the heck is Disney thinking?

Did it do this to reduce competition with it's other more "important" movies (Marvel etc)?

I don't know.

If you are a fan of Predator and like good movies (bloody ones).

This is a GOOD movie for you.
