In this episode of R Rating, we’re heading back to the hunt with Prey (2022) — the gripping prequel that redefines the Predator franchise. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and starring Amber Midthunder as the fierce Comanche warrior Naru, Prey strips the series back to its primal roots, delivering raw survival, intense atmosphere, and some of the best creature tension we’ve seen in years.
We’ll break down the story, characters, cinematography, and the evolution of the Predator itself. How does Prey compare to the 1987 original classic? Does this minimalist, historical setting make the Predator more terrifying than ever? And where does Prey rank among the rest of the franchise?
If you’re a fan of sci-fi, action, or monster movies, this episode is a must-listen. Expect deep analysis of Prey’s direction, visual storytelling, and themes of survival and honor — plus our honest verdict on whether this entry is the franchise’s true return to form.
