Prey features a largely Native American and First Nations cast, led by Amber Midthunder (Naru), Dakota Beavers (Taabe), and Dane DiLiegro (Feral Predator). The film's atmosphere was enhanced by cinematographer Jeff Cutter's naturalistic lighting and a score by Sarah Schachner that blended orchestral sounds with Indigenous instruments.
Prey received widespread critical acclaim, with many reviewers rating it as the best installment in the franchise since the original, often highlighting Amber Midthunder's performance, the film's intense action, and its focus on suspense.
Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, Prey is a prequel set in 1719 on the Great Plains. The story follows (Amber Midthunder), a skilled young Comanche woman who defies traditional roles to prove her worth as a hunter.
