Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (who also directed 10 Cloverfield Lane, which I highly recommend), PREY takes us back in time to 1719. The film chronicles the first visit of a Predator to Earth. The story follows Naru, played by Amber Midthunder, a young Comanche woman who desires to be a hunter. After seeing a strange phenomenon in the sky; she joins her brother and other hunters on an expedition, where she will come into contact with a hunter from another world, who will push her to become what she dreams to be. It will be quite the bloody affair.
