Australian director Sean Byrne is one of horror’s premiere mixologists. His debut, 2009’s The Loved Ones, meshed teen romance with gruesome Hostel-style extremism. 2015’s The Devil’s Candy put a heavy metal spin on the haunted-house romp.

Dan Trachtenberg and Joshua Wassung’s animated movie Predator: Killer of Killers introduces many new elements to the decades-old science fiction franchise, just like Trachtenberg’s Prey did back in 2022. There are dramatic new Predator designs and places Predator-vs.-human fights in eras where we’ve never seen them before. Most startlingly, it brings in some inspiration from Christopher Guest’s dog-pageant comedy Best In Show. But for Predator fans, the real revelation comes...
