Okay late to the party but I finally caught Prey, which I liked. But like some (most?) here I have mixed feelings on Feral's design. It sounds dumb and petty, but I don't think I enjoyed the film as much as I could've based on this.
From the neck down it's alright (even with those big fat monster hands), but it was obvious to me the actor's head was in the neck, so even while masked he looks wonky in some shots. And unmasked he looks like a Predator/Shelob from LOTR combo...
It sounds unfair to the film because it's otherwise very well made; it's quite remarkable we got something this solid so soon after The Predator.
But, to join the beating of a very dead horse I still don't think we've returned to that Predator 1/2 sweet spot just yet -

You don't need to reinvent the wheel nor do you need to slavishly follow the past. There's a fertile middle ground.

My pick is Legacy Effects.
