New 'Predator' Trailer Cuts A Bloody Trail Through History
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors In 2022's "Prey", director Dan Trachtenberg took the story of the "Predator" hunters all the way back to the 18th century. So what could be better than a "Predator" movie that goes back to a historical time period? How about one that goes back to three historical time periods, all across the world? Such a film is the animated "Predator: Killer of Killers," and Hulu just released a new trailer for the feature. You can watch it below. Read More: 'Predator', All Of The Movies Ranked From Worst To Best The official synopsis for "Predator: Killer of Killers" reads "The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge; a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession; and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent — the ultimate killer of killers." "Predator: Killer of Killers" "Predator: Killer of Killers" 20th Century Studios Like "Prey", "Predator: Killer of Killers" will go straight to streaming and premiere on Hulu. But when it comes to the deadly Yautja, "Killer of Killers" isn't the only game in town this year. On November 6, "Predator: Badlands" releases in theaters. Unlike "Killer of Killers", "Badlands" is live-action and won't go straight to streaming. The film stars Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek, a young Predator who is outcast from his tribe for being smaller than your average Yautja. Elle Fanning joins him as Thia, an android. Together, they hunt something that Thia insists cannot be killed. We don't know what that something is just yet, but the first teaser for the film ends with a large, kaiju-sized creature rushing at Dek. But before you see "Badlands" in theaters, make sure to check out "Predator: Killer of Killers" from the comfort of your own couch. "Predator: Killer of Killers" is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, with Josh Wassung serving as co-director. The film is written by Micho Robert Rutare and the story is by Trachtenberg and Rutare. The film is scheduled to stream on Hulu on Friday, June 6.

"I Refuse To Watch It Again" – 15 Horror Films That Totally Exceeded Our Expectations
Recently, u/Sans010394 asked r/moviecritic, "What's a horror movie that exceeded your expectations?" So we thought we'd share some of the top responses. 1. The Ritual (2017) Netflix "It really is quite fantastic. It was one of the first newer ones I watched upon diving into the genre for the first time. The horror occurs in surprising ways." – human_not_alien 2. Event Horizon (1997) Paramount Pictures " Event Horizon with Sam Neill. I had no idea at the time what it was going in. Was so good it messed me up so much, I refuse to watch it again." – Ill_Cod7460 3. Prey (2022) 20th Century Studios "I'd even consider it better than Predator in some regards. It had a fairly linear plot, a main protagonist whom I didn't want to see get hurt, strong leads, and a Yautja costume that looked very well constructed." – NerdNuncle 4. Train to Busan (2016) Next Entertainment World 5. Talk to Me (2022) A24 "It just looked like another gimmick movie, like Ouji or something, but man was it creepy, and that ending hit hard." – BreathWithMe6 6. Oculus (2013) Relativity Media "This movie scared the shit out of me on my first watch. Not a flawless film but Katee Sackhoff really owned her role and the twists/timeline jumps keep you invested and disoriented. Still one of my favourites." – bobby_portishead 7. Let the Right One In (2008) Sandrew Metronome " Let The Right One In is so melancholy and sad and beautiful in a weird way. The American version is really good imo too, just a different vibe. The kids in both of them are so insanely good." – chainsawbearandco 8. Barbarian (2022) 20th Century Studios "I'd had some things spoiled and heard that it was a good movie but I was blown away by the quality. It's brilliantly shot, the acting is flawless, it's properly tense and the themes are perfect for this kind of movie and explored in the most interesting of ways, without saying anything too spoiler-y. Just a top tier movie and not what I expected from Zach from WKUK." – Sea_Cheesecake3330 9. The Wailing (2016) 20th Century Studios "The suspension was killing me. Never had any scare-jump but the whole time I was freaked out. I have watched it with three different groups of people and every time I was amazed. To date, I'm not sure what happened in in the end." – nomercy15 10. The Witch (2015) A24 "I was like 'ok cool, period piece with the 'is it magic or is it mundane'' trope, let's see how it plays out.' It is not mundane, and leans into that full force and it creeped me the hell out." – Careful-Release 11. Sinners (2025) Warner Bros. Pictures "I know it's new, and it's still going. Some things were visually weird a couple times, but the music was great and there was a lot more emotion than I expected. It doesn't even feel like a horror movie somehow." – feverishh 12. Sinister (2012) Lionsgate "Randomly watched it by myself one day thinking it would just be a movie that could kill some time. Messed me up bad to the point where I had trouble sleeping that night." – robertswoman 13. Midsommar (2019) A24 "Aesthetic-wise – the colours, camera shots and visual compositions were done amazingly for me." – Both-Fruit5418 "The fully bright horror movie and the kinda of delusion that ensues is horror in its own way. Loved it." – immersedmoonlight 14. Terrified (2017) Aura Films "I've never been more scared in a film so quickly. The opening shot is immediately gripping and tense. I honestly think the first 15 minutes is one of the best openings in all of horror, and should be studied in film schools. The movie is not perfect, but no horror film has ever pulled me in so quickly." – kdawgster1 15. The Night House (2020) Searchlight Pictures

Predator: Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg teases ‘big, crazy swing' with sci-fi movie
'Predator: Badlands' director Dan Trachtenberg has teased he's taken a "big, crazy swing" with the upcoming movie. The sci-fi flick will put the titular alien hunter at the forefront of the story as its hero, and the 43-year-old filmmaker has now promised 'Predator: Badlands' will be a unique take on the beloved action franchise. In an interview with Bloody Disgusting, Trachtenberg said: "It's a big, crazy swing, and I think that's what drives butts into seats. "If you want the same old Predator experience, you can hit play on 'Predator' or 'Prey' or any other, whichever one is your fit." 'Predator: Badlands' follows the young Predator Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) after he has been outcast from his clan and sent to a remote planet where he forms an unlikely alliance with Thia (Elle Fanning) as the pair search for the ultimate adversary. While the director didn't reveal any specific details about the character Fanning will be portraying, Trachtenberg explained he had used story concepts from video games like 'Shadow of the Colossus' to craft Thia and the dynamic she has with the Predator. He said: "As inspired as I am by movies, I've been very inspired by video games [like] 'Shadow of the Colossus', where you have a protagonist paired with someone else who provides color and connection. "There's a thing with a horse in 'Shadow of the Colossus' that's devastating when you play the game. And so ['Predator: Badlands'] was a little bit inspired by that in terms of wanting to see the Predator with someone else, this character who's the opposite of him. "He's very laconic, [Thia] is not. She's capable in ways that he is not. Physically, she's got a real thing that I'm so excited for you guys to see. But I want to let eventually some of that speak for itself." Trachtenberg added 'Predator: Badlands' would be more character-driven than previous 'Predator' movies, and would centre on the titular alien hunter. He explained: "I never thought [the Predator] was Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger. "They had a code [like] hitmen or crime underworld 'Goodfellas'. I felt like there was something cool to explore within that culture that's different than just adding a bunch of stuff on top of it. "It felt like we're mining [concepts] as opposed to just throwing [more] at the franchise." As for what inspired 'Predator: Badlands', Trachtenberg revealed he had pulled ideas from a variety of different films for his movie - which is slated for release in November. He said: "There's a Frank Frazetta, 'Conan the Barbarian', Spartan thing … but also you think of 'The Book of Eli' or 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior' … 'Shane', [very] western, very Clint Eastwood-y." The director concluded he wanted 'Predator: Badlands' to "feel genre" and "feel very specific" with its tone and story. He said: "I wanted to make it feel genre, feel very specific, and an inversion of the [main] premise - now the Predator is on [another] planet, and he's going to be hunted by things and has to use his guile to [survive]."
