I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a period piece sci-fi movie like this one that centers Native American performers in this way. The majority of the film’s main cast are Native American and First Nation performers, as were many of the crew members, including Comanche educator Juanita Pahdopony. The attention to detail in this film is incredibly impressive, and a sterling example of why it is so important to have good cultural representation both behind and front of the camera.
But Naru is nothing if not persistent and only grows moreso when she catches wind of a strange presence in the forest. The film follows Naru (Amber Midthunder), an aspiring hunter who is constantly being told she can’t fulfill this traditionally male role for her tribe. Prey deserves credit for how well it depicts the time period and the Comanche Nation.
The early 18th century American setting is terrific. Prey depicts one of the first times a Predator came to Earth, and also seemingly retcons the Alien vs. It’s ironic that the best Predator movie in so long is also the only one that won’t see a theatrical release, airing exclusively on Hulu. In terms of its production quality, action, sound…pretty much every aspect, it stands so far above most entries in the Predator franchise that it’s almost baffling. At their worst, they are entertaining but not much else.ġ0 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey is most certainly the franchise at its best. At their best, they’re intense-if-campy sci-fi horror movies. That one was a pretty brainless romp that reveled in its absurdity, and was a good example of how the Predator movies can fluctuate. It hasn’t been all that long since the last installment in the Predator franchise, 2018’s The Predator. Naru (Amber Midthunder) and the Predator (Dane DiLiegro), shown.
