Predator: Killer of Killers (2025)


I'm going to start this review off by saying I'm not into Anime. Never been interested, so this was what I consider a reluctant watch on my part. The animation in this looked it was from an early 2000's video game and the look of the predator was a little disappointing to me. Now, I love the early Predator films as they are classics in my book. The rest of the films in the series are hit or miss. Now, if you remember at the end of Predator 2, one of the Predators gives the main character a pistol from 1710 which indicates that the Predator has traveled to multiple time lines and I've said on multiple occasions that I would like to see a Predator film in a different time period whether it be the middle ages, Feudal Japan, or the old west. Predator: Killer of Killers is a short anthology animated film that takes place in multiple time lines, Scandinavia 841, a Viking warrior and her son along with her unit go up against the predator, 1609 Feudal Japan, two brothers of a samurai warlord go up against the predator after a betrayal that lasts over 20 years and finally, 1942 World War 2, a young fighter pilot goes up against the predator and it all culminates in a final show down. Now, as I've mentioned I would like to see a Predator film in one of those time lines I've mentioned above as I think it would be cool to see the people of the era up against something that's not of this world. I thought the film was okay, but I'm just not a fan of the animation and would like to see these stories expand to live action in the future.

Demon City (2025)

When one thinks of a title like Demon City. You're thinking to yourself, a Japanese horror flick?? No, it's an action flick. I was a little misled by the title, thinking it was a horror film because the dialogue in the film keeps referencing the word "demons" but as I continued to watch Demon City, I realized that it was a straight up action flick. I would say it's more of a Japanese knock-off of the John Wick franchise but more violent. The story has been done many times before. I guess people are used to cookie cutter plots. Don't get me wrong, I love action movies and I love Chinese, Japanese action flicks but sometimes they can be a little repetitive. Demon City is decent, but it's all been done before. 3/5

Clown in a Cornfield (2025)

Image
Every once in awhile, there's always a killer clown film that ends up being good, It, Clown... There's a few more but they escape me at the moment. Unfortunately, Clown in a Cornfield isn't a good film. Despite some cool kills and a interesting premise, there are two things that stood out to me when watching the film. The pacing was sluggish which tuned me out at times which is a shame because I really wanted to like Clown in a Cornfield. The script needed work which results in it's clunky pacing and if there's one thing I despise it's social media influencers. Every horror film I've seen has characters that are addicted to social media and all I want to say is a get a job. I can't stand them at all. But I'm trailing off here. Apparently, this is based on a book series and they are coming out with book 4. If they really want to do another film, I suggest writing a strong script to maintain the pacing or *shudder, a soft reboot of the film. I can'...

Alien Rubicon (2024)

Alien Rubicon has no affiliation with the Alien film series. It was made by one of my favorite studios, The Asylum who specialize in making knock-off movies of big budget Hollywood films. Most of the time they're better than the Hollywood film they're making fun of and Alien Rubicon is no exception. With it's bad CGI effects, bad acting, Alien Rubicon is a fun bad movie that tries to not be serious but you can't help but laugh at how bad it is. I grew up watching movies like these to laugh at and make fun of and now as I get older, I begin to appreciate bad movies more. 1/5
