Seeking his father's respect, and a place within his clan, a young Yautja named Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) heads to one of the deadliest planets in the galaxy. Where, if he survives long enough, he will hunt a creature so deadly, it makes even the most seasoned Yautjas weak at the knees. Taking the idea for the original Predator  movie and flipping it on its head, it turns out, is actually a stroke of genius. Dan Trachtenberg has now delivered three cracking instalments in the franchise, reviving it in ways that few likely thought possible. Badlands  is a bit of a back-to-basics Predator  movie, akin to the Arnie starring original. A Yautja on a hunt in a foreign land, only this time we're following the lone hunter rather than being hunted by him. And he's the one in some "badass bush". You know, the kind Billy wouldn't wish on "a broke-dick dog". That said, much like Killer of Killers , it also goes deeper into the Yautja lore - including...

With a sick daughter, and unable to find work, Ben Richards (Glen Powell) volunteers to be a contestant on the most dangerous show on television. If he survives for 30 days on the run, he will win $1 billion. But the network doesn’t exactly play fair. Hot on his trail are a team of hunters, and a population baying for blood. All of whom believe it’s in their best interests to hunt Richards down. If you've ever watched  Hunted , you've got a pretty good idea of what you're in for with The Running Man . Edgar Wright's striking adaptation of Stephen King's Richard Bachman novel has much the same feel as the Channel 4  show. Although the ex-cops and former soldiers who hunt down random celebrities and members of the public aren't allowed to actually kill them like the Hunters in The Running Man  - all of whom are a curious combo of military gear and gimp attire . Which certainly gives Wright and his movie an edge. As does Colman Domingo as the wonderfully flamboyant...

Vietnam, 1968. A recon team known as 'Vulture Squad' is sent into a remote valley in search of a missing Green Beret platoon. There they discover dinosaurs, as well as a few other things. And what begins as a rescue mission, quickly takes on a more world-ending significance. In a year when the first of a new batch of Jurassic World  movies hits cinemas, you don't expect to see it sharing the limelight with another dinosaur movie. Well I don't, anyway. But that is exactly what happened in 2025. Despite being well received, Jurassic World: Rebirth  fell victim to its own legacy, somewhat. Whereas a plucky, upstart indie movie about soldiers in Vietnam encountering dinosaurs, took the world by storm. Undoubtedly, because it did something a little bit different. Based on the book of the same name by Ethan Pettus, Primitive War  combines two genres that before now seemed pretty incompatible, and does it very well. Cue every Creedence song you can think of, as Hueys filled wi...
