How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.

Three questions

Is Prey scary?
Only a little. Prey has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is Prey?
Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
What is Prey rated, and is it OK for kids?
Brutal violence, graphic gore and several jump scares. The R is earned, so not for kids.

What is Prey about?

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.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Yes. It lands on a happy note.
