Movies that feel likePredators (2010)

A group of cold-blooded killers find themselves trapped on an alien planet to be hunted by extraterrestrial Predators.

If you loved Predators, the closest films we have are Cloverfield (2008), Déjà Vu (2006) and Greenland (2020). All three share Predators' cerebral and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Krrish (2006).

But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.
