Tremble Ep 383: Prey

HOSTS:

Taylor

—————————-

Tremble is a horror podcast that cuts through hype to figure out what actually works, whether a movie is trying to scare you, make you laugh, or do both at once.

On this episode, the Tremble crew heads back to the hunt with Prey, Dan Trachtenberg’s 2022 reinvention of the Predator franchise. Set in the early 1700s on the Northern Plains, the film follows Naru, a skilled young Comanche warrior determined to prove herself as a hunter, only to find herself facing a far deadlier opponent from beyond the stars. Kurt, Taylor, and Steve break down the film’s stripped down approach, its emphasis on survival and strategy, and how it repositions the Predator as a terrifying force of nature rather than a spectacle driven villain. The discussion digs into Amber Midthunder’s standout performance, the film’s grounded setting, and how its focus on tension and resourcefulness breathes new life into a franchise that had lost its way. They also explore how Prey balances action and horror, its cultural impact, and whether it stands as the best Predator film since the original.
