Predator: Killer of Killers is an R-rated adult animated sci-fi action horror anthology film in the Predator franchise, directed by Prey’s Dan Trachtenberg and written by Micho Robert Rutare.
As the sixth film and eighth installment overall, this bold animated entry departs from live-action to explore new timelines and warriors across history, all hunted by the legendary Predator.
Produced by 20th Century Studios and Davis Entertainment, with animation by The Third Floor, Predator: Killer of Killers is an ambitious entry in the franchise that leans into the anthology format.
The film presents three brutal stories: a Viking mother guiding her young son on a vengeful blood quest, a ninja in feudal Japan who clashes with his samurai brother over succession, and a World War II fighter pilot investigating a mysterious threat in the skies.
While each warrior is a formidable killer in their own right, they all become prey when the Predator—the ultimate hunter—arrives.
Predator: Killer of Killers Age Rating
Predator: Killer of Killers is officially rated R for strong bloody violence, some gore, and language — a clear warning for parental discretion. This rating signals adult content with frequent, intense scenes that may not be suitable for viewers under 17. Here’s a closer look:
Violence
The film is loaded with graphic, stylized violence across its three animated stories. Expect scenes of:
- Brutal swordplay, decapitations, and bloody dismemberment in hand-to-hand combat.
- Gunfights, aerial warfare, and explosive deaths during World War II sequences.
- Characters are being hunted, skinned, or impaled by the Predator.
- Gore is visible, with blood sprays, open wounds, and disturbing imagery presented without restraint.
Language
Strong language is present throughout, including frequent uses of the f-word and other expletives. Dialogue is gritty and in keeping with the film’s intense, survivalist tone.
Sexual Content
There is no explicit sexual content or nudity reported, though occasional adult innuendo or suggestive dialogue may appear briefly in character exchanges.
Mature Themes
Themes of revenge, survival, warfare, betrayal, and moral corruption are woven into the anthology format. Some sequences touch on historical brutality (Viking raids, feudal power struggles, war trauma), contributing to the overall grim tone.
Is Predator: Killer of Killers Suitable for Teens?
Ages 10–12: Not Suitable: This film is far too violent and mature for pre-teens. The level of graphic violence, realistic gore, and frightening scenarios makes it inappropriate for younger viewers.
Ages 13–17: Not Recommended: Even for mature teens, Predator: Killer of Killers may be overwhelming. The realistic bloodshed, war violence, and dark themes are intense, and the R rating reflects content meant for adult audiences. Unless a teen is already familiar with the Predator franchise and parents are involved in discussion and supervision, this film is best left for adult viewers.
What Parents Can Do
Preview the Film: Watch the film yourself first, especially if your teen expresses interest.
Discuss the Themes: If teens do watch, talk about the nature of violence, revenge, and historical conflicts to provide context.
Set Clear Boundaries: Reinforce that the violence is fictional, and discuss the emotional impact and meaning behind the action.
