The Feral Predator, Prey
20th Century Studios’ Prey came out of nowhere and stole the hearts of many who watched it, including my own. Much of the praise on the acting side has been rightfully thrown as Amber Midthunder’s Naru and Dakota Beavers as her brother Taabe, and they are both killer in this film. But the movie wouldn’t work nearly as well without a Predator to truly challenge them, and Prey’s Feral Predator (played by ex-basketball player Dane DiLegro) is the best kind of enemy the siblings could’ve gotten. His massacre against the French fur traders is a highlight of the film, but honestly, the scenes we get of him working his way up the food chain before meeting Naru are fun enough to warrant a film from his perspective. He’s big, he’s way faster than his size would suggest, and he’s a bit of a prick—which makes it all the more fun to watch him slaughter his way around the Great Plains. – Justin Carter
