Our take on Prey

Dan Trachtenberg's 2022 action thriller reframes a familiar hunt through fresh eyes: Naru, a fierce and skilled Comanche warrior, sets out to protect her people when danger threatens her camp. The prey she stalks turns out to be a technologically advanced alien predator, and the mismatch of her weapons against its arsenal drives the tension. Grounded in an early-frontier setting and built around a resourceful, underestimated heroine, it favors lean, physical suspense over bombast. Viewers drawn to survival stories with a strong central figure and inventive, close-quarters combat will find it satisfying. It works whether or not you know the wider franchise, offering a self-contained, propulsive test of wits.
