Hulu’s Predator Prequel ‘Prey’ Is An Absolute Must-Watch

I don't know what the strange process that led to Prey being an exclusive debut on Hulu is, but regardless of where it's premiere is, it has nothing to do with its quality.

This is an amazing film. There have been many attempts to duplicate the success of the first movie, but Prey is easily the best of the bunch.

The series is 300 years into the past where a single predator has come to earth to hunt other animals. He learns quickly that the most dangerous game is man.

The main focus of the story is Naru, a Comanche woman who wants to be a hunter instead of a gatherer, and her brother, Taabe, who is the pride of his tribe for his ability to slay anything out in the open. As French trappers are starting to harvest game for skins, and only Naru knows that an even greater threat looms, there is danger nearby.

The two central performances from Prey's indigenous actors, Amber Midthunder and Dakota Beavers, should be a star-making turn for both of them. They have effortless amounts of presence and charisma in a movie that, by all accounts, could have been terrible, but between their performance, the solid script and director, they have created a new genre classic and a worthy entry in a series that seemed like it had run out.

I had to look up and see if it was the same director that did 10 Cloverfield Lane because the action here is top notch and brutal. It's a nice watch that doesn't overstay its welcome at just an hour and forty minutes, and has one of the best versions of the Predator we've seen so far.

Is it better than the first one? It's difficult to say. I can't say for certain because I haven't seen Arnold's version in 15 years. It is great, despite, and features a fun nod to the original that fans will catch as they watch.

The stars collaborated to make Prey a great movie. I think this is a must-watch for any action, sci-fi or of course, the Predator series, even though it would have been a wild ride in theaters. It would be great to see more from everyone involved.
