NOT another streaming Movie - Primate

Just when there are no Planet of the Apes films out, Primate comes to fill the void. However this is gory apr horror!

Directed by Johannes Roberts, Primate stars Johnny Sequoyah, Jessica Alexander, & Troy Kotsur. 

A tropical vacation goes awry when Ben, an adopted chimpanzee, is bitten by a rabid animal and suddenly becomes violent.

Primate was released at the cinemas a couple of weeks back, however on a hot day, where else better to go than the cinema to see a random new horror film. And by the incoming trailers of Whistle, Scream 7 and one other, gosh 2026 is the year of horror. Again.

Primate has received generally positive reviews from critics and has grossed $31 million worldwide. Honestly this was a bit of fun, however the gore I could have taken or left at the cinema door. I don't love excessive gore just for the sake of, and at times this film could have used more discreet kills from Ben, the killer chimpanzee.

From the opening, you know things will go pear shaped. From the start, the college girls look ripe for some gruesome scenes ahead.

Ahead some horny college boys into the mix, plus the beautiful scenes of Hawaii, this is one wild horror ride.

I enjoyed this film, it felt a little more fresh than some of the other recent horror tales. That said I am mega pumped for Scream 7 next month.

God love the cinema on a sticky Sydney summer scorcher.

Primate gets 3 stars. A bit of fun, a lot of gore.
