10 Pointless Characters In Horror Movie Sequels
2. Sean Keyes - The Predator
Shane Black's The Predator was one of the most disappointing movies of 2018. What should have been a return to form for the franchise, after a series of terrible sequels and spin-offs, was instead a colossal mess from beginning to end.
One of The Predator's many issues was its overabundance of characters, none of which receive enough development to bring us to care about their various gruesome fates.
Sean Keyes is one of these characters. The son of Peter Keyes from Predator 2, the character was highly anticipated by Predator fans as he offered a key piece of continuity between the movies. Fans were also happy as he is played by Jake Busey, son of Gary Busey, who played Peter Keyes in Predator 2. The stage was set for him to have a substantial role in the movie.
Sadly, his inclusion was entirely wasted. Not only is he killed off as quickly as he's introduced, there is not even a mention of his lineage, or how he relates to the wider Predator mythos.
This missed opportunity is just one of many in The Predator. Let's not even talk about the Upgrade Predator.
