There are few 2022 movies we’re more hyped up for than Prey, the Predator prequel that takes things back to the past.

It also doesn’t take place in Europe, but in the pre-colonized Americas, focusing on the Comanche nation. Within that time and place lives a young warrior named Naru, the most skilled hunter of her tribe. Soon, it’ll be her against a lone Predator who has landed in the area and poses an immediate threat to her people. This hook is dynamite. There are no guns, no lasers (except for what the Predator’s packing), no bulletproof armor… nothing that could possibly allow for a human advantage. The lead character is way outclassed and it will take everything she’s got to take the Predator down. It’ll be a true battle, the kind the series rarely pulls off
