Dan Trachtenberg's "Prey" is not only the best-reviewed "Predator" film on Rotten Tomatoes, but in three days of its release gained more viewer hours than any Hulu television or movie to date. That's an incredible feat for a sci-fi thriller and proof that horror fans are craving more Indigenous-made films. Producer Jhane Myers, a member of the Comanche and Blackfeet Nations, anchors the film's setting, characters, and perspective to craft the first-ever fully Nʉmʉnʉʉ (Comanche language) dubbed film.
In "Prey," the young hunter Naru (Amber Midthunder) embarks on Kuhtaamia, a hero's rite of passage, when a Predator lands on Earth lands on Earth for the first time to hunt. Of course, a bloody battle of brawn and wits ensues. When asked about how she approached bringing a film set 300 years ago on Comanche land to life, Myers told Bloody Disgusting, "I was excited because it dealt with my culture.
