Reel Review: Predator: Killer of Killers

Predator: Killers of Killers explodes into the franchise like it’s going to war. The animated anthology spreads the alien hunters across three blood-drenched chapters, placing them in a Viking raid, a samurai battle, and a WWII dogfight—and then, somehow, ties them all together in a conclusion that’s pure gladiator nightmare fodder.

Every tale has its own tone, yet all of them tie the same tension: the warrior versus the unseen, the unbeatable. The animation is gritty, stylized, and unremitting, never flinching from gore or grime. There was no comic relief, no nudge to the camera—just the quiet of the prey and the roar of the kill.

Ursa, Kenji, and Torres are not victims. They fight back. And by the end, the Predator is no longer just the apex—it’s on defense.

Mitten’s Verdict: A vicious, visionary entry that proves the Predator franchise has claws—and it’s only getting sharper. Rated: 7 out of 10
