'Prey' review: The Predator finally gets a great follow-up to the 1987 original


It's only taken 35 years, but one of sci-fi's greatest monsters has finally gotten a sequel, sorry, prequel, that it can be proud of. – Photos: Disney+ Hotstar

When Prey was initially greenlit in 2019, the movie was shrouded in secrecy. It took almost a year before the film shed its camouflage and revealed itself to be the fifth Predator film, and a prequel at that.

Now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, Prey is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, and is only his second feature film since the 2016's critically acclaimed 10 Cloverfield Lane. It is set in 1719, where a young female Native American warrior from the Comanche Nation named Naru (Amber Midthunder), is out to prove herself as a hunter amongst her people.
