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.

Prey (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Prey (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Prey (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Prey (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 Prey (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Prey (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Tamma Moksha The Hindu With great casting, character writing, and cinematography, Prey becomes a welcome addition to the popular franchise.

Idan Charles L I love it when they make a good female mc without it being just pointless pandering Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Guilherme A Um filme bem construído e que nos prende até o dim. Deixou de fora diversos clichês existentes dos filmes anteriores. A atuação de todos é muito boa, principalmente da protagonista e seu irmão. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Sam W A different setting for the franchise which looks and feels authentic enough plus has some impressive scenery and special effects. The plot is simple and the ideas are clearly shown; the lead character felt a bit too capable overall, but the acting was good and they were likeable. The action scenes were entertaining, even if the violence was toned down a bit, and the atmosphere and tension builds up quite nicely once the hunt truly begins. Some humour towards the end, but the finale was a bit ridiculous. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Untoldnews U This installment is almost better than the original...it DEFO has the same Original film vibe of the Predator hunting the Prey an is a fantastic film. Best of all it has NO STUPID BIG AMERICAN GUNS AN YANKEE DOODLE DANDEE RUBBISH HOLLYWOOD PAP SCRIPT WRITING. Less is more an this is MORE.
