...a disappointing misfire that ultimately pales in comparison to its like-minded brethren.

Cambridge Day

When the big reveals are doled out in the final frames, you'll likely rewind it a few times to see if you missed the whats and whys. Nope, it's just one big head-scratcher.

Rated: 1.5/4

Common Sense Media

At one point in the ridiculous Prey, one hiker being stalked by a killer ventures, "Who says it has to make sense?" That seems to be the guiding motto of this film.

Rated: 2/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Prey is a must-watch survival film that will make you look around for a sniper in the trees. From betrayal to tragic accidents, there is a weight to Prey that just works, with its antagonist adding the right amount of twist to surprise viewers.

Rated: 8/10

Decider

All these criticisms might not matter if Sieben choreographed set pieces for maximum tension and showcased more directorial panache, but with Prey, he's merely content to get the job done with drab efficiency.

Movie Nation

If you ever wondered how boring and frustrating it might be to watch the young, athletic and helpless stagger to their deaths, with little agency in their fate, Sieben's made a movie for you.

Rated: 1/4

시우 이 This puts boredom and ridiculousness in my head. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Luis M. D I expected to watch a bad horror movie with very little rationale or logics. And though the movie didn't transcend the level of a standard horror stuff, it wasn't that bad. It was at least restrained, avoiding unnecessary displays of gore. But the problem is that the only thing the movie seems to care about is to scare the viewer, without bothering to offer a relevant backstory or a credible motivation for the shooter's criminal behavior. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Janette D A wooden bunch of wimps. What do they make men out of nowadays, plasticine? Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Enrick O Fazia muito que não via um filme tão ruim assim, inexplicavelmente péssimo em tudo. Don't waste your time! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review London H Should've did more with the main villain, and should've showed us end credits which they could've done. Story seems like it's just the characters walking the whole time, which they do. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Mat This movie SUCKED!!! Five guys 25 to 30 can't outflank a chick with a bolt action rifle who never accelerates past walking pace? They can't crash tackle, baseball pitch rocks or ANYTHING ?? All the screenplay allows is for them to RUN stupidly away whilst bickering amongst themselves getting lost and being generally useless. Producer and director of this film should find their own reflections repellent from the shame of making this abominable flick. Zero stars truth be told this is a dog's dinner for the eyes.
