Prey

I've only seen a couple of them but it seems there's something about the Predator concept (franchise) that lends itself to reinvention - at least partially. This one's set in 1719 amidst the stunning landscapes of that-era North America and focuses on a group of Comanche people and a female warrior in particular, and makes a pretty good fist of it's 'I'm underestimated because I'm a woman and I'm victorious because I'm a woman' narrative.
