Predator: Killer of Killers Sets Franchise Rotten Tomatoes Record

The "Predator" franchise, which began in 1987, has been revitalized recently with new projects such as the 2022 hit "Prey" and the 2025 animated film "Predator: Killer of Killers," which streams on Hulu. "Predator: Killer of Killers," directed by Dan Trachtenberg and Joshua Wassung, features an anthology format exploring three historical periods and has received critical acclaim, achieving a franchise-best Rotten Tomatoes score of 97%. Critics praised its brutal action, inventive storytelling, and unique animation style, with some calling it the best "Predator" movie in decades. The franchise's movies, including the new installments, are all available for streaming on Hulu, making it accessible for fans to catch up. Despite the franchise's highs, such as "Prey" and the recent animated film, it has also seen disappointments, notably the 2018 film "The Predator," criticized for poor CGI, erratic pacing, and a problematic narrative. Overall, the franchise continues to evolve and expand, blending sci-fi action with fresh creative directions that have reinvigorated interest among audiences.
