(Predator Noise)
I was debating whether to classify this as horror or simply an action/suspense film and ultimately decided it belongs to the horror genre. Why? Firstly, the obvious minorities are the first ones to die. Furthermore, the predators are like serial killers silently stalking their prey until they catch them and rip their spine out or kill them in bloody gory ways. If Saw can do this and get away with it being called horror because they put in a few jump scares, then this movie is fair game too.
I was told this was the better of the Predator sequels and I will say that this is an absolute factual statement. However, I have not seen any of the sequels except for Alien Vs Predator which I thought was ok but this movie definitely surpasses it. There is a lot of action and intense moments that will make this movie enjoyable for anyone that is not a fan of horror or is unfamiliar with the Predator franchise. The concept is original for the universe and it is difficult to predict who will die and who will live. If I am not mistaken, this is the first time we are made aware that there are Predators and then Super Predators who hunt everything. The film does a good job of making each character's story arc interesting so when things happen to them, it is meaningful. I defy anyone to watch this movie and not get bummed out on how soon they would die compared to all the other bad ass characters. I wish I could just rip out people's spines from their body. Also, this film makes me want to watch The Predator now, wait a minute, I guess subliminal marketing really is a thing.
