I've always been a fan of the old Predators.

The iconic first movie with big Arnie was just fabulous cinema and set an unforgettable bar in that steamy jungle.

Predator 2 with Danny Glover was pretty good as well and I can recall many scenes. It was brave to move the action to the city.

After these things get fuzzy. I'm unsure what came next and at some point Lance Henriksen joins in as well as the ever-snappy Xenomorphs. There's a Ziggarat too.

So it's been awhile since any Predators have worried my screen until this week when I watched PREY on Disney.

I have to say from the off that I enjoyed it. If you are going to pit the big guy against a warrior then a Comanche brave is a superb match, maybe only equalled by a Spartan.

The acting was good, the settings were excellent and the leading lady was just terrific. I liked the updated and even uglier alien and it reminded me of an alien gunslinger a la Bravestarr.

The odd nods to the original were welcome, especially when the Comanche heroine drags herself out of the mud onto a bank Arnie-style.

As a reboot and prequel I thought PREY hit the mark both times, a bit like the lead's lethal Comanche throwing axe!

Have you been preyed upon? I wonder if you have any Predator toys and collectables readers?
