About Dan Trachtenberg
10 Cloverfield Lane traps Michelle in a bunker with a captor who may be right about the outside world, and the 2016 hit announced Trachtenberg as a suspense director. Prey rewinds the Predator hunt to 1719 with Comanche warrior Naru tracking the creature, and the 2022 film revived its franchise. Predator: Killer of Killers gathers hunters across eras in a 2025 animated anthology.
Predator: Badlands closes the 2025 run with a standalone future story about a young Predator outcast and a synthetic ally. His television work on Black Mirror and The Boys stays outside this film list. Watch the four features in release order, since each refines the same contained-hunt grammar at a bigger scale.
Good to know
The throughline is contained suspense: small casts, clear spaces, and threats revealed late. 10 Cloverfield Lane connects to Cloverfield only as an anthology cousin, so no series viewing is needed first. Prey works as a series entry point with no prior Predator homework, while Killer of Killers rewards franchise memory with returning eras. Badlands stands apart in the timeline, so place it last.
