Available now for streaming, this anthology film craftily intertwines thrilling tales through different eras as it pits legendary warriors against a merciless interstellar adversary.

Featuring a formidable Viking raider and her offspring, a ninja caught in a feud during feudal Japan, and a WWII aviator facing unfathomable threats above, the Mirror US hails it as a remarkable addition to the Predator franchise, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Trachtenberg, hot off his success with Prey, is set to push the envelope further in his eagerly awaited follow-up, Predator: Badlands, dropping later this year.

Since making its debut on Disney+ on Friday, 6th June, Killer of Killers has captured glowing accolades from movie buffs on Letterboxd.

One particularly thrilled fan claimed: “In my opinion, this film is truly the best thing that has come out in the first half of this year and I have no doubts about it.”

Viewers have been blindsided by the unexpected triumph of a Predator animation streaming exclusively on a digital platform, with one stunned film buff posting: “Who would have thought that one the BEST films I’d watch in the first 6 months of 2025, is a direct to streaming PREDATOR ANIMATION.”

They continued their praise, saying, “It’s packed to the walls with non stop bada** action. The art direction is distinctively gorgeous with painted textures, and the fight sequences imaginative and satisfying.”

Another enthusiast couldn’t hide their excitement: “THIS GOES SO HARD? ? ? An absolute must-watch for fans of the predator franchise holy s*** this was amazing.”

They gushed further: “Overall the different settings, time periods, characters (etc) were so imaginative and everything worked together SO well I NEED A SEQUEL IMMEDIATELY.”

On Reddit, users also voiced admiration, declaring that the Predator animation surpassed what’s currently in cinemas.

Illustrating their point, a Reddit user recounted: “Just watched Ballerina and The Phoenician Scheme the last two days in theaters. Pretty decent time at the theater,”.

They elaborated on their home viewing experience: “Then I come home and watch this on my couch, having just learned of its existence a few hours ago, and it was easily the best thing I’ve watched the last two days.”

That same commenter lamented: “This deserved a theatrical release. Or some marketing of some kind.”

The clamour for more content in this vein is growing louder, with fans pitching ideas: “I need more of these stories.”

One passionate fan suggested: “Predator vs gladiators, Predator vs Spartans, Predator vs Paladins. Keep em coming.”

The question now on everyone’s lips is whether Predator: Killer of Killers is set to inaugurate an exhilarating new era for the esteemed sci-fi series.

Keep your eyes peeled – we might be on the cusp of something significant.
