Although the Predator franchise has struggled more than most movie series over the decades, its future finally looks bright again. I’ve got to be honest. Despite how much I want to enjoy all the Predator movies, if I were asked my opinion on the franchise’s future before 2022, the forecast would have been pretty dire. 1987’s Predator is a cult classic that benefits from a strong supporting cast, a killer premise, an appropriately campy central turn from Arnold Schwarzenegger, and groundbreaking special effects work by Stan Winston.
