If you’re even slightly interested in the Predator franchise then watching Prey this weekend is a total no-brainer. However, Prey has mostly enjoyed extremely positive reviews. Allen Johnson of The San Francisco Chronicle, who called the movie “ a lean, mean, riveting back-to-nature horror film that flies through its thrilling 99 minutes.” Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine offers a more negative write-up, arguing that Prey struggles to break free of the long shadow cast by the original classic Predator film. ![]() Olly Richards of Time Out declared that Prey is the “excellent Predator film we’ve been praying for.” And Empire’s James Dyer was similarly positive, labelling Prey “the best Predator movie since the original” and saying “Prey proves that, against all expectation, there’s life in the franchise yet, not to mention a thrilling new lead in Amber Midthunder.”Īnother positive take came from G. 2010’s Predators did earn a middling 60%, but none of the hunter-alien's previous big screen outings come close to matching Prey’s impressive score. Granted, the Predator movies have never been critical darlings, with 1990’s Predator 2 pulling just 30% and the last attempt at a franchise revival, The Predator, managing an equally poor 33%. This is a franchise high for the Predator series, with only 1987’s Predator on 80% landing anywhere near. The film currently scores a very strong 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. Prey is scheduled to release on Friday (August 5) but some lucky critics have already had the chance to watch the film, and it would appear the overwhelming majority were impressed.
