After umpteen gimmick-laden follow-ups, this is finally a true sequel to Predator. The slow, tense introduction establishes the characters, setting and stakes, then steadily escalating encounters with the Predator and other, more grounded threats ratchet up the drama and action. It finally explodes in a triple-whammy of inventive, tense and gore-splashed battle sequences. It's lean, it's mean, and I wish it was on the big screen.
A cut above the usual skeptic vs supernatural movie, necessarily episodic, with a good vein of comedy and a strong sense of dread. Like the rest of its little genre, it has interesting things to say about the social role of the paranormal, but it comes alive when it turns its attention to its protagonist.
