.@DannyTRS’s #PreyMovie is terrific! A sharp survivalist monster movie mixed with genre IP (along the lines of THE REVENANT meets PREDATOR), blending familiar with new lore. Strong sense of character, mounting suspense & LOTS of gore. @AmberMidthunder is captivating & compelling. pic.twitter.com/0m6jCpCNTN

PREY pays homage to the original Predator while delivering something fresh. Raw action balanced w/ suspense, Trachtenberg knows how to keep you invested.

Amber Midthunder is a FORCE & needs more leading roles.
And the Predator? Just be glad he isn’t hunting you. #PreyMovie pic.twitter.com/kDVaN7Ru4r
Amber Midthunder leads with POWER in #PREYMovie, An Action Packed Jungle Thriller that revitalises the franchise & takes it back to its roots. It's short, sweet & offers a great time with plenty of slashes, gashes & gory kills from the Gladiatorial-Like (& Series Best) Predator. pic.twitter.com/whW7kGi1eC

#PreyMovie is phenomenal. It's the sequel the Predator franchise needed and manages to stand on its own.

I've loved Amber Midthunder's work and it makes me so happy to see her thrive. So happy to finally get to talk #Prey pic.twitter.com/E0PEGkMcpF
#PreyMovie is everything I wanted from this concept… totally brutal, imaginative and filled with evident filmmaking passion.

It feels so so good to say this. The Predator is fucking back in true form and isn't going away any time soon. I'm ecstatic to watch the Comanche dub!!! pic.twitter.com/ltiylX5n1S
Absolutely loved #PreyMovie. It embraces the suspense of the original Predator movie and then explodes with awesome action and horror scenes.

A real return to form for the Predator franchise & I’m excited to watch it again. You’ve made this Predator fan very happy, @DannyTRS! pic.twitter.com/1sxw1ZscPe
#PreyMovie did it. They really did it.

I know it’s early, but this might be the best and my favorite @predator movie since the original.
Very happy fan right here. pic.twitter.com/3z1XnmtVWz
#Preymovie absolutely slays. By setting it 300 years ago and stripping away the alien hunter’s high tech hunting gadgetry, we get a primal David vs Goliath story. Amber Midthunder is fierce, and Datoka Beavers rocks in his debut! It’s just an awesome gritty B-movie pic.twitter.com/ZaNsIXYSDc

So stoked for everyone to see #PreyMovie. It was incredibly well shot, the score by @SarahSchachner was phenomenal, and the cast totally killed it. This is a movie that will be great for both hardcore fans and people seeing their first #Predator film. https://t.co/Xx14v1mJw7
