The new Predator prequel was produced by John Davis ( Jungle Cruise, The Predator), Jhane Myers ( Monsters of God), and Marty Ewing ( It: Chapter Two). The screenplay was written by Patrick Aison ( Jack Ryan, Treadstone), and makes for a very thrilling and action-packed starting point. Narus brother, Taabe (Dakota Beavers), believes in his sister, even as he doubts her resolve to become a warrior. Prey is directed by Dan Trachtenberg who first came onto our radar when he directed 10 Cloverfield Lane which we loved here at Heaven of Horror. Finally, Prey stars Dane DiLiegro ( American Horror Stories) as the huge and very muscular Predator. In other roles, we see newcomer Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp ( Sooyii), Michelle Thrush ( The Journey Home), and Julian Black Antelope ( Tribal).
