Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Prey (2022)

In the 1700s, a young woman is bent on proving herself as a warrior and she's sure that something big is out there. Not a lion or bear as her brother and the other young males of the tribe suspect, but something else. Turns out she's right since a predator -- as in, you know that Predator -- has landed nearby.

This is a real missed opportunity. The girl and her brother have an interesting dynamic, but it feels like a cheapo. The action is shot in quick-cuts and closeups, making it difficult to see what's happening, and the story is threadbare.
