Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, “Prey†is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. The film was released on the streaming platform Hulu in North America and Disney+ in the UK on August 5, 2022.
The director was Dan Trachtenberg and the film was written by Patrick Aison. It was originally shot under the name Skulls before Prey became the final title. Regardless despite it's many many problems it comes under the category of harmless take your brain out fun.Prey is the name of newest film in the Predator series. There are certainly a lot of problems with the film, I'd have liked it to be darker, I'd have liked it to be longer and I'd liked the original Predator to have gotten more screentime. Sure it's goofy and badly flawed but I'm not sure exactly what everyone expected. I loved the first movie, I thought the second was passable and hated the third but this right here is underwhelming yet perfectly watchable despite the lashings of Hollywoodness it has. With an odd amount of comedy and levity The Predators tone isn't exactly in keeping with the original movies yet manages to solidly feel like a Predator film thanks to the original score and franchise tropes. Okay actually I retract that, the leading man Boyd Holbrook is less than impressive and just wasn't up to the task. With a stellar cast including Thomas Jane, the stunning Olivia Munn and the excellent Keegan-Michael Key it had no problems on that front.
Cue lots of action, blood shed but a pretty wafer thin plot that doesn't exactly go anywhere. So a Predator comes to Earth but this time the government is ready for it. It's just a badly flawed addition to the franchise yet manages to be oddly loyal at the same time. Let's make something clear, I am not saying The Predator is a good film because it simply isn't but worst of 2018? Absolutely not. Going in I was forced to have low expectations, and I firmly disagree. It was even suggested that it was one of the worst movies of 2018 and comparable with the messy AVP movies. I'd heard nothing but bad things about The Predator, wall to wall hatred and mockery.
