If PREY proved that there is still plenty of life in the PREDATOR franchise, then animated anthology KILLER OF KILLERS offers more exciting new routes for it to take. Extraterrestrial predators face off against warriors from three of Earth’s time periods: a 9th century Viking, a 16th century samurai and a 20th century fighter pilot. Dan Trachtenberg (Prey) might have gone for the most obvious historical settings to slot in a predator to cause havoc, but he and his animators have a lot of fun playing with technologically asymmetrical combat formula and coming up with the elaborate bloody action sequences. Aside from a pleasing gag with a flintlock pistol, the film’s final stretch that brings all three stories together is a little underwhelming, but it’s enough to make you hope for further creative takes on the Predator universe. The standard has well and truly been set for Trachtenberg’s upcoming PREDATOR: BADLANDS. SSP
