In this chilling real-world horror, acclaimed filmmaker David Osit (MAYOR) descends into the twisted legacy of TO CATCH A PREDATOR, the hit TV show that turned the pursuit of justice into a national spectacle. Luring men into suburban homes with the bait of underage encounters, the show delivered them not just to the police—but to millions of viewers hungry for shame, punishment, and moral superiority.
But behind the viral clips and confrontational catchphrases lies something far more terrifying: a cultural machine built on humiliation, manipulation, and the public’s thirst for vigilante justice.
PREDATORS peels back the mask of so-called righteous television to reveal a grotesque media ecosystem where ethics are devoured, lives are destroyed, and the audience becomes complicit in the carnage. Osit dares to ask the film’s essential question: Who is the real monster?
Unflinching, disturbing, and deeply self-aware, this documentary plays like a psychological thriller—one where the victims aren’t just the people caught on tape, but the society that made it all possible.
