Why watch this film?
At a superficial level, 'Prey' is an excellent action and horror movie: there is bloody combat, high tension and the ever-brutal alien, more so than ever. However, this prequel (set in 1791) manages to become the best of the entire 'Predator' franchise by subverting its conventions, with a female protagonist (a Comanche warrior played by Amber Midthunder from the 'Legion' series) and tracing a believable journey. She, with whom it is easy to identify, also questions the action hero stereotype. You can read more in our review, but suffice it to say that 'Prey' is a satisfying and refreshing action proposal. It is an exclusive Star+ feature, although it is a shame that it was not released in theaters.

10 Cloverfield Lane
Movie that arrived unexpectedly to theaters, continuing the controversial 'Cloverfield: Monster', from 2008. However, producer J.J. Abrams is smart by not making a direct sequel of the facts. Here, in '10 Cloverfield Lane', he opens the range of possibilities of the franchise and shows another reality. In this case, that of a woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who wakes up in the bunker of a man (John Goodman, impeccable) and has to believe that the world outside is close to the end. The claustrophobic atmosphere of the plot, mixed with Dan Trachtenberg's paranoid direction, elevate the production to another level, mixing the science fiction of 'Cloverfield: Monster' with a well-executed thriller. It's hard not to get involved with the characters and the situation, well thought out from the beginning and that puts a question in the spectator's head: is what I'm watching real? Is it paranoia? What is the limit of truth?
