The director and lead of "Prey" turned to some surprising pop culture staples for inspiration while making the film, which has become Hulu's most successful premiere to date (breaking a record set by "The Kardashians"). Amber Midthunder, who stars in the prequel to the Predator franchise - which follows the seminal alien's arrival on Earth - tells Popsugar "Billie Eilish's music was actually "a really big part of this movie for me."

Midthunder plays Naru, a young Comanche warrior who winds up hunting the hunter. She says that she's "a huge Billie Eilish fan. Her music, at the time, really became one of my ways in." Her process, she explains, involved "everything from studying Comanche people to getting ready physically to listening to 'All the Good Girls Go to Hell,'" a song off Eilish's 2019 debut album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"
