Shane Black’s The Predator: 10 Critical Reactions You Need To See
9. Gore-Lovers Will Not Be Disappointed
"The Predator’s movements are swift and brutal, and Black revels in the gore. Limbs fly, guts splash, and heads roll." - SlashFilm
"There’s ridiculously gory action horror, as the Predators brutally shred endless anonymous army goons." - SciFiNow
"When it comes to the action, the most memorable quality is the gore and violence because it’s so excessive. Yes, it’s a Predator movie and carnage was inevitable, but it’s the choice to linger on certain visuals and have so many trigger happy characters relishing in their kills that make the movie waver between getting a kick out of the wild action and being put off by it." - Collider
Every Predator movie - from the Arnie classic to the half-baked AVP showdowns - has contained a ton of blood, guts, and more blood.
And fortunately, it seems like The Predator will continue that trend with plenty of gory deaths of its own. Since the titular creature is an intergalactic killing machine there's an expectation for a lot of gratuitous kill scenes, and in that regard, The Predator will not hold back.
Some critics were a bit concerned that the violence was too excessive and way over the top, but that will likely come down to personal taste.
