It’s impossible to describe the 2022 Hulu release of “Prey” as anything other than a massive success on every level. As a prequel breathing new life into the long-running “Predator” franchise, the film excels. As an underdog tale of a young Comanche healer determined to prove herself as a hunter, the movie thrives. As a love letter to a too-often sidelined indigenous community, the feature hums. And as a tense and brutal action installment, “Prey” absolutely rips.
For its efforts, “Prey” and the people involved with its creation nabbed six Emmy nominations, including mentions for picture editing, music composition, sound editing, writing and directing of a limited or anthology series or movie, as well as a nomination for Outstanding Television Movie.
