When a Predator visits Earth for the first time, a vicious game of cat and mouse begins between the two and plays over the course of an impressive monster feature that harnesses the spark of the first two films and then does its own thing both narratively and formally.Įven though Prey’s script is one of the sharpest and tightest for an action-adventure film in a while, Naru shares a fair amount of screentime with other members of her tribe, including her brother Taabe, played by newcomer Dakota Beavers, and mother Aruka (Michelle Thrush). Set in the Great Plains of North America in 1719, the film follows Naru (Amber Midthunder), a young Comanche woman trying to prove herself as a worthy warrior and hunter.

In fact, the original plan was to market the film (temporarily titled Skulls) as an original story up to a certain point close to its release - a strategy also followed by Prey director Dan Trachtenberg’s previous film, 10 Cloverfield Lane.
