The Next Alien Movie Should Take Inspiration From Prey
Prey is a brilliantly uncomplicated film. It takes the concept of the Predator, as established in John McTiernan's 1987 movie, and cleverly recontextualises it in a new setting. It's not an origin story or an attempt to expand the mythology. It's a straightforward movie about a Yautja hunter arriving on Earth and searching for worthy prey—in this case, a young Comanche healer turned hunter named Naru. It's refreshing watching a movie based on an established series that doesn't dwell on mythologising what came before. The Predator exists on its own terms, rather than as a throwback to the original film, and the result is a creature as formidable and terrifying as it was when it was first introduced 35 years ago.
