Just re-watched the original 1987 Predator movie, the one with Arnold S., former Governor of California.
And it is surprising how well the movie has held up. Some of the special effects are not as slick as today's but they are still pretty good.
The scenario is one of the shortest ever written, a blend of Island of Dr Moreau, alien and creature of the black lagoon (OK, maybe not that last one) but the suspense and tension are still there.
