You have this incredible, perfect hunting machine that should be the perfect villain.

Right.

So if horror movies are really about fear and terrible bad guys only, then Predator should be a horror film.

But they're also a group of Green Berets led by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

They're not vulnerable.
