Movies that feel likePrey (2022)

When danger threatens her camp, the fierce and highly skilled Comanche warrior Naru sets out to protect her people. But the prey she stalks turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Tenet (2020).
