Reviving the Predator franchise with primal elegance, Prey is a masterful mix of sweat, blood, myth, and muscle, writes Luke Buckmaster. Surviving a Predator movie is tough work: those gnarly aliens are excellent bounty hunters and have, I imagine, halitosis extreme enough to kill off entire ecosystems.

Against a kitschy backdrop, a wife turns amateur detective in Holland – streaming on Prime Video. Steve Newall looks behind the friendly façade. New thriller Holland is much more domestic in its aspirations than its country-sized title might suggest. That makes more sense when you consider it was originally titled ‘Holland, Michigan’—the small city in which this tale of household paranoia, deception and manipulation is set.

This piece is supported byWho’s the f*ckboy? Who’s the potential husband? And who’s the serial-killing psychopath? Those are the questions confronting one woman in new horror-comedy F*** Marry Kill—streaming on Prime Video.
