Film Review – Predator: Killer of Killers

2022’s “Prey” brought the “Predator” franchise back to life after it was nearly destroyed by 2018’s “The Predator,” Shane Black’s inept take on master hunter action. Director Dan Tractenberg managed to get the series back to basics with the prequel, handling a limited budget and small-scale concept with some skill, winning over the target audience and restoring a little critical support for the brand name. The helmer is far from done with this cinematic world, but before the live-action “Predator: Badlands” hits screens later this year, there’s an animated presentation of alien entanglements in “Predator: Killer of Killers,” which is an anthology film that explores other tales of battle and honor throughout the years. Tractenberg and co-director Josh Wassung take this creative opportunity very seriously, launching brutal, bruising chapters of conflict and survival as more Earthlings tangle with barbarians from another world. “Killer of Killers” is perhaps the best “Predator” installment since the 1987 original, as animation makes a winning match to the sci-fi/action needs of the premise.
