Who directed the original Predator?
Predator was directed by John McTiernan and released in 1987. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Dutch, the leader of a rescue team hunted in the jungle.
Who played the Predator creature?
Kevin Peter Hall played the Predator in the finished film. Stan Winston's studio created the redesigned creature effects, including the now-iconic mandibles.
Is Predator more action movie or horror movie?
It starts like a 1980s military action film and gradually turns into a survival horror movie. The shift works because Dutch's heavily armed team, including Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura, is slowly stripped of its advantage.

Predator 2 followed in 1990 and moved the hunt from the jungle to Los Angeles. Later entries include Predators, The Predator, Prey, and other franchise films.
