PREY

Set 300 years ago in 1719 in The Great Plains, the story finds young Naru (Amber Midthunder) trying to prove her hunting worth to her tribe. Unexpectedly, she's able to witness, warn, and ultimately battle the predator from another planet. Honestly, I passed on this film as the trailer did next to nothing for me. However, upon good word-of-mouth, I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did as this is the best entry into the Predator franchise since the sequel way back in 1990. Having garnered support from fellow Predator alums Jesse Ventura and Bill Duke, Midthunder is worthy of the praise. An action packed and gory affair, the film has ties to both the original (in the form of Billy) and it's sequel. The predator we've come to know is primitive itself in it's display and shows how's it's also advanced over the centuries. A fun ride for anyone of the franchise. 6/10
