Great action sci-fi flick! I dunno if Predator movies can ever really be scary again. A lot of (really all) of the horror in the first film originated from the unknown. What was hunting them, why was it hunting them, etc., the big reveal at the end of the first film kinda removed any chance for true frights in subsequent films.
That said, there are some great tense moments in Prey and the performances from Amber Midthunder and Dakota Beavers, as the siblings who take on the Predator are fabulous. The dog was proper cute, loyal and lovable as well!
It was exciting to see a woman protagonist hold her own in such a no holds barred action flick as well! It was beautifully shot, with an emphasis on show, don’t tell, with not a single wasted second.
All in all, a solid 9 out of 10, closer to 8 than 10. Well worth its tight hour and 35 minute runtime.
And for the incels. Say ‘woke’ again. …I dare you
