Prey 2022 Movie
PREY 2022 is the latest film in the PREDATOR film series that we all know and have watched with passion. Even though it came after other films, the director of the film says that this can be considered the beginning of a film. The currently released movies of Predator can be seen as follows.
- The Predator (1987)
- Predator 2 (1990)
- Predators (2010)
- The Predator (2018)
So even if a person has not seen all these movies, he can watch the movie PREY and watch it in order.
The movie PREY 2022 released by HULU Riming Service was reviewed by Dan Trachtenberg and has an IMDB rating of 7.1 and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 92%. The movie stars Amber Midthunder. Not only does he play a tribal character in the film.
If we make a brief introduction about the movie,The film takes place in Comanche territory at the beginning of the 18th century. Naru (Amber Midthunder – Legion) is an Indian girl who wants to become a hunter and warrior like her older brother Tanabe (Dakota Beavers). The other young warriors react to this with a mixture of derision and anger. While hunting game one day, Naru witnesses fiery lights in the sky. Soon after, he finds unusual, huge tracks of a new animal that hunts other beasts. After telling the others, Naru becomes the object of ridicule. This is completely understandable because her story sounds like a child’s nightmare. But then an invisible monster starts brutally killing Indian warriors. Is it possible to stop the space hunter with a bow and arrows?

Like John McTiernan’s 1987 Predator, Prey has a very clear and simple story. Once the predator starts hunting the Comanches, the film becomes a dramatic game of cat and mouse in which Naru and the others try to overcome an opponent who is faster, stronger, and better equipped than them. What follows is a series of thrilling and visually impressive chase and fight scenes. In one of them, terrified characters are running away from an invisible threat across a large sunny meadow. In the second, the predator deals brutally with the hunters in a burnt forest where ash falls like snow.
Prey is a visually very beautiful film. Cinematographer Jeff Cutter previously worked with director Dan Trachtenberg on his previous film 10 Cloverfield Lane. This horror takes place in a claustrophobic bunker. Unlike him, Prey takes place under the seemingly endless skies of the North American wilderness. The night scenes are often lit (or at least appear to be) only with the light of torches and campfires. This movie would be worth watching on the big screen.
The sound and sound effects are equally impressive. From the very beginning, Prey strikingly contrasts background sounds like birdsong or wind in the canopy with dramatic loud sounds like tomahawks, thunder, or gunfire. Sarah Schachner’s music is solid, and the main theme reminds me a bit of Trevor Jones’ music in the movie The Last of the Mohicans. But honestly? In a film that tries so hard to immerse us in the wilderness, the music at times almost ruined the atmosphere for me.
Prey constantly reminds us that this seemingly idyllic landscape hides a cruel struggle for survival. The Comanche does not hunt for fun or profit, but for the survival of their tribe. After a giant wild cat mauls one of the warriors, the tribe immediately organizes a chase to get rid of the dangerous beast. I found the scene in which the warriors slowly and methodically build stretchers out of nothing to carry the injured person to the camp more accessible. During this time, the predator slowly progresses up the food chain. First, he hunts a rattlesnake, then a wolf, then a bear, and then he starts killing people.
Amber Midthunder is excellent in the role of the stubborn, capable and grumpy heroine of this film. Her large expressive eyes are practically a special effect in themselves. Dakota Beavers is just as good as her brother Tanabe. The two have great chemistry in the roles of brother and sister who respect, bicker and provoke each other. The rest of the cast is very solid. I must also mention the dog! Acquired and trained especially for the needs of the film, the dog Coco had so much energy that she was allegedly impossible on the set. Despite this, she turned out to be an absolute professional in the scenes.
The fight scenes also pleasantly surprised me. Very often, scenes like this are deliberately shot in semi-darkness and then edited using fast short shots. In this way, it is easier to replace actors with stuntmen, and their choreography becomes simpler. In contrast, in Prey, we have a number of great fight scenes, at least one of which involves six or seven actors and stuntmen fighting in one shot.
If there’s anything I have to complain about in this movie, it’s some of the computer-animated creatures. I’m not talking about a predator. Considering it was a being that didn’t exist in reality, I knew I’d be satisfied as long as it was at least somewhat believable. No, the real challenge for the animators was to create digital versions of real animals that we all recognize from reality or documentaries. Although the animators put in the effort, it was an impossible mission. It’s clear the whole time that we’re not watching real bears and wolves on screen.
I wrote a lot of compliments about this movie here. Let’s face it: Prey is not a masterpiece of cinematic art. What Prey is a very well-made genre film that practically stands side by side with the original? The characters are not deep, but their motives and personalities are clear to us. The story is simple but solid. Patrick Aison’s screenplay in the first half of the film presents us with a series of elements that will be important in the second half. Prey is a well-oiled machine from start to finish where every
