What is it, in summary?: A horror/scifi/historical film about a Comanche girl in 1719 who battles the predator monster (look, this is not my genre) from the Predator series. You absolutely do not have to have watched any of the other films in the series to appreciate this one (I didn't).
What do you love about it?: First of all, let it be known that I am not generally a horror fan. This film is excellent enough that it overcame my inherent disinterest in the genre. Other things I love: a) the fun twist of having a scifi film in a setting we don't normally see; b) the cast, which is small but great; c) SIBLING FEELS; and d) especially especially the main character of Naru, who is smart and adaptive and resilient and wonderful. Watch the movie for her.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Honestly I'm going to request this fandom out of sheer spite. I was so disappointed by what's currently in the AO3 tag that I can't not request this for Yuletide. I'm going to ask for anything focused on Naru and/or Naru&Taabe.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: As mentioned above, you absolutely do not have to watch the rest of the film series!
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Gore/violence and character deaths
