Predators

Opens October 10

To Catch a Predator became a television sensation by luring sex offenders to a film set where they were interviewed and arrested as cameras rolled. David Osit’s Predators is a chilling, surprising exploration of the show’s meteoric success, its high-profile cancellation, and the world it helped create.

Official Selection of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival

"Osit’s brilliant, subtly needling film leaves us unnerved and alert, but not certain of our convictions—an outcome, perhaps, that more true-crime programming should pursue."
Guy Lodge, Variety
"Filmmaker David Osit... takes a cold, hard look at how the show has popularized vigilante justice and repurposed it as reality TV entertainment, spawned copycats who maybe—maybe—have sacrificed ethics for clicks and lolz, and stripped any sense of empathy from the equation."
David Fear, Rolling Stone
