All 7 Predator movies ranked from worst to best
1. Prey
Believe me, I’m surprised too.
Expectations for Prey were high from the offset, because after years of misfires the Predator franchise was going back to basics by prioritising the one thing that made the first two movies such a thrill: The hunt. Even so, few could have predicted how effective it would be in doing so. But somehow, someway, the 2022 outing is the best Predator movie of them all.
The film focuses on a young Comanche woman named Naru, who seeks to prove herself as a hunter. She gets that opportunity when the Predator arrives on Earth and begins killing her people. And with that, a gripping battle between two hunters ensues, one with plenty of thrills and kills along the way. Amber Midthunder delivers a career-defining performance in a movie that redefines the Predator franchise for the better.
Prey isn’t worried about building upon the lore with convoluted mythology, it’s just a simple thriller about a hunter desperate to prove herself locked in a fearsome battle with the deadliest of opponents. It recaptures the magic of Predator but manages to make it feel even more edge-of-seat.
Its streaming success has hopefully guaranteed the future of the franchise, but as we await for more updates on what’s next for it, we’re really eager to see how those who haven’t seen it yet respond to Prey when it hits DVD and Blu-ray shelves in October.
