One of the most iconic action-meets-sci-fi-meets-horror films from 1987, Predator, has seen many sequels and spin offs since its creation. However, questions about the origin of the Predator and the world it lived in always loomed. Finally this year, we get to dive deeper with the 2022 release of Prey – a prequel to the original Predator films.

She discovers a mysterious creature (synonymous with a chilling click-sounding growl), when she is out hunting a lion. She discovers something much bigger and deadlier: a creature that lives to hunt.
Doing everything in her will to warn her tribe, you’ll be at the edge of your seat every second of this film.
