PREY is about a young man named Toby ( Logan Miller) dealing with the abrupt murder of his father ( Anthony Jensen). I’m pleased to report that while PREY isn’t as raw and in your face as MANIAC, it definitely packs a punch and has an adventurous sense of mystery and mayhem. While Franck Khalfoun is the director of one of my favorite horror films of all time, 2012’s MANIAC. Anyone who knows anything about horror, knows that BLUMHOUSE is maybe the biggest name in horror at the moment producing the likes of HALLOWEEN, GET OUT, THE PURGE, INSIDIOUS and the list goes on forever…look it up…I’ll wait. This was a promising revelation, considering the immense respect I have for both the artist, and the production company.
What I did know was that the film was produced by genre favorite production company BLUMHOUSE and directed by Franck Khalfoun. Incidentally, Prey is going to be the first feature-length film ever to stream with Comanche subtitles.When I first received my copy of the deserted island horror flick PREY, I admit that I didn’t know what to expect. Obviously, the film's portrayal of the real-life culture won't truly be tested until it is finally released, but so far all the signs are pointing in the right direction and the movie will hopefully introduce beloved characters from a community that deserves far more representation in the world of film. The trailer description credits producer Jhane Myers as the main reason for the appropriately cast roles as she herself is a member of the Comanche Nation.
Joining her in the seemingly small cast are Dane DiLiegro, Stefany Mathias, Stormee Kipp, and Dakota Beavers.įans may notice that most of the cast is of Native American descent, which was most likely a decision made to bring as much authenticity to the setting as possible and portray its Comanche characters accurately. Leading the cast in the lead role of Naru is Amber Midthunder, best known for her work as Kerry Loudermilk in Legion. This probably is alluding to a unique marketing campaign similar to what 10 Cloverfield Lane had, and while it's a shame that the surprise had to be spoiled, the director being involved is still enough to get excited. Trachtenberg was also quoted as saying that he was "very sad that what we had in store for how you could discover this movie will no longer happen" after the film's plot got leaked. The hit surprise sequel was a feature directorial debut that put Trachtenberg's name on the map as a filmmaker to watch closely, and even though he has since worked on major television projects including Black Mirror and The Boys, Prey will mark his first feature film in six years. Regardless of their varying quality, it seems that it would be fair to say that no subsequent film has been able to capture the suspense and entertainment value of the original.ĭespite a recent dispute between the writers of the original Predator film and 20th Century's new parent company, Walt Disney, the studio formerly known as Fox is still the production giant behind Prey (and yes, the idea that Mickey Mouse now owns Predator will never stop being weird).Īs mentioned above, in the director's chair sits Dan Trachtenberg, best known for his work on the critically acclaimed thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane. Not to mention, 2018's The Predator was considered a bit of a misfire by both fans and critics, with the messy plot making the film feel like it was trying to be a superhero movie instead of a horror-action flick like the original. Predatorfilms were more akin to cheap fan service instead of proper filmmaking. Predator 2 and Predators were decent enough, but the two Alien vs. The Predator franchise has continued with at least one new movie every decade or so, but most fans would probably agree that the original 1987 film starring everyone's favorite Austrian Arnold Schwarzenegger is far and away the strongest installment.
