PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS REVIEW
After proving he understands the Predator franchise better than anyone else with 2022’s incredible Prey, Dan Trachtenberg returns with an animated anthology film of action, gore, thrills and kills. Told in three chapters, we get to see Predators battle a Viking warrior out for revenge against the warlord who slayed her father, a Japanese samurai who has spent his life preparing to face his brother, and a World War II fighter pilot mechanic who dreams of being up in the air. But while these men and women face the demons of their own making, they have one of the universe’s greatest hunters stalking them from the shadows and smoke. And Melina, Lewayne, and T.C. are here for it. Beautifully animated, Predator: Killer of Killers proves that there is not only still blood in this franchise’s veins, but there is a whole world – a whole universe – waiting to be explored. Is this a good prep for the November release of Predator Badlands? The Screener Squad is here to answer that.
DIRECTED BY: Dan Trachtenberg
STARRING: Lindsay LaVanchy, Cherami Leigh, Louis Ozawa, Rick Gonzalez, Michael Biehn, Doug Cockle, Damien Haas, Lauren Holt, Jeff Leach, Piotr Michael, Andrew Morgado, Alessa Luz Martinez, Felix Solis, Britton Watkins
YOUR REVIEWERS
T.C. De Witt (Screener Squad)
T.C. De Witt is a multi-awarded writer/director originally from Wisconsin and now based in Los Angeles. His life has been devoted to the arts since he was a child. He’s been a stage performer, playwright, stand-up comic, film and television actor, radio DJ, podcaster published author, recorded musician, and comic writer/illustrator. He is now a professional screenwriter and has been thriving for the past decade, regularly offering his talents to production studios in LA, Chicago, Milwaukee, and internationally in Sydney and Poland. He’s provided content for Amazon Prime, Netflix, and several YouTube partners. His films have screened internationally, and his stageplays have been performed across the country. In the last ten years, he has directed 57 films, 23 episodes of his series The One Minute Rewatch, 300+ episodes of podcasts, and his multi-award-winning short film Screen: Righter screened at the Festival de Cannes in 2016. He has released two feature films, The Princess Knight and A Christmas Sunset. He thrives on collaboration and the thrill of sharing stories in all forms.
Melina Eames (Screener Squad)
Melina first discovered that she carried the nerd gene at the tender age of four following her exposure to a little film called A New Hope. In the twenty-some years that followed, Melina continued to grow into her geek identity through the discovery of Batman, Mst3k, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and The Mandalorian. But perhaps her most significant discovery came at the age of fourteen when a night of YouTube mining led her to the review site of Spill.com. Melina became a devoted follower whose fandom did not end with the site’s demise. By then, it had worked its dark magic and left her with a love and appreciation for film criticism that she has yet to shrug.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
