Predator: Killer of Killers is a short and sweet joyride through the franchise's secret past
Briefly

Director Dan Trachtenberg's Prey reinvigorated the Predator franchise by presenting its narrative in a historical context. Hulu's "Predator: Killer of Killers" follows this trend, condensing the success of Prey into a spectacular animated anthology. Set in varied historical eras, the film showcases warriors meeting their Yautja hunters. Rich in stunning visuals and thrilling action, it retains the franchise's essence without attempts to innovate significantly. The feature effectively teases fans ahead of the upcoming "Predator: Badlands," inviting further exploration of what makes humanity both fascinating and vulnerable as prey.
Prey revitalized the Predator franchise by recasting its central idea, with the alien hunts depicted as part of an ancient deadly tradition.
Killer of Killers condenses the successful elements of Prey into a short anthology that showcases various human historical warriors hunted by the Yautja.
The animated feature offers Arcane-inspired visuals and sharp action sequences but does not aim to reinvent the Predator franchise's familiar narrative.
Across three distinct historical settings, Killer of Killers highlights how the Yautja see humanity both as skilled warriors and as prey to be hunted.
