Predator: Badlands arrives on Hulu this weekend, following a young Yautja named Dek who must prove himself by killing an unkillable apex predator. He teams up with a badly damaged android played by Elle Fanning. Also new: Ryan Prows’ Night Patrol, a bloody horror that examines white supremacy; Johannes Roberts’ campy chimp slasher Primate; and Marty Supreme on VOD, with Timothée Chalamet as a 1950s table tennis hustler and potential vampire slayer — the film earned nine Oscar nominations.

Badlands ties the Predator and Alien movies together without requiring prior knowledge. Dek is sentenced to death for being too weak and sent to the “death planet” Genna to claim his birthright. A review notes the film feels less like a traditional Predator entry and more like Avatar, touching on family and environmental exploitation, leaning into whimsical beats and cartoonish villains, and even including a standout fight involving Thia’s disembodied legs.
