Where to Watch Predator
- The HomeOctober 26, 2026Absolutely a solid classic !! The creature effects , the cast , the environment are all top notch for the era and still hold up today . If I might say so as well the best predator of all the movies !!
- ColeJune 11, 2025Absolutely love how this starts as an 80s action war flick then transitions into a horrifying creature feature. The Predator is one of the all time monster designs. I especially like how we don’t see its body or face until the final act. As far as the location, the jungle is an all timer too — along with the Antarctic in The Thing and space for Alien. As an Arnold stan too, he’s just wonderfully charismatic here. Cozy film for me, a true classic in every sense of the word.
- Aaron SladeMarch 30, 2025Its testosterone the film lol Big macho guys showing their big muscles and even bigger cigars Until they start getting eviscerated from the camouflaged alien. Oh man, this scared the shit out of me in 1987 when I saw it at the cinema at age 10. It was so close to a horror, while still remaining an action film. Arnie was on fire in the 80s and could do no wrong. This was the same year The Running Man came out, which is just as good as this. Amazing !!!
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 3, 2025A cool survival sci-fi story in dumb '80s action movie clothing. It shouldn't work as well as it does. But it does.
- Corrine KocjancicNovember 12, 2025The action scene at the village went on for like 20 minutes and was a cinematic master piece of ridiculousness we just don't see anymore.
- Nathan DaviesOctober 7, 2026Get to the choppppa!!!!
- Артем ГоворушкинSeptember 2, 2026Absolute. Classic MacTirnann cast -fabulous
- RedHarlow13August 30, 20269/10 - I've always loved this movie and the Predator Franchise as a whole.
- CarterAugust 18, 2026Predator is a really dumb film, but an absolute blast. Positives: - The design and look for the Predator is both awesome and iconic - The practical effects for the kills looks great - The kills are really solid - Arnold is awesome - The characters are fun Mixed: - The premise is pretty simple and really not that intriguing but it’s still utilized in a fun way - The performances are pretty mid Negatives: - The film has no character development so tho the characters are fun you don’t actually care if they live or die - The movie is a very generic and predictable movie - You have seen this movie before - The movie is also really dumb and you will have to turn your brain off Overall Predator is a dumb, but fun movie that you shouldn’t take too seriously.
- chafeJuly 19, 2026DAT BOY UGLY AS HELL 4.5/5 truly an iconic movie
- theLillyPadJanuary 19, 2026"What if we did a slasher, but instead of making him murder a bunch of horney idiot teenagers, we make him intimidating by having him easily and systematically take down a group of incredibly prepared and combat-ready special ops?" Predator is a genius premise--and manages to execute the premise with near-perfection. The perfect amalgamation between an 80's manly-man action flick and a slasher, Predator is worth you time. The score, the dialogue, the pacing, the acting--everything is running on all cylinders. Couldn't quite give it full points because some of the special effects aged poorly.

Let’s Talk About the Predator Franchise 🛸💥
Few sci-fi horror icons have gone through as many ups and downs as the Yautja. From the peak of 80s practical action to experimental crossovers and modern prequels, this franchise has tried it all. Here is my Top 3 ranking of the Predator universe. Let’s discuss where does your list differ? 1. Predator (1987) 👑 The Verdict: The undisputed masterpiece. 2. Prey (2022) 🏹 The Verdict: The ultimate revival. Dan Trachtenberg did exactly what the franchise needed he stripped away the bloated sci-fi setups and went back to a simple, brutal survival story. Moving the setting to the 1719 Comanche Nation was a stroke of genius. Amber Midthunder is incredible, and the feral, primal design of the Predator brought back the genuine fear missing since 1987. 3. Predator: Killer of Killers 🩸 Taking the franchise into animation was the best risk they ever took. Free from the limitations of live action budgets and green screens, this series unleashed pure, unadulterated Yautja lore. The fight choreography is brilliant, the world-building is deep, and it captures the brutal, comic book style energy fans have wanted for decades. It rightfully takes the bronze medal.
