Paramount+ isn’t monkeying round, as Primate will make its streaming debut on the service subsequent Wednesday, March 25.
The killer chimp horror film is directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night) from a script he co-wrote with frequent collaborator Ernest Riera (47 Meters Down).
Lucy’s tropical island homecoming was imagined to be seashores and greatest associates — not a combat for her life. When her household’s exceptionally intelligent chimp spirals right into a savage rabid frenzy, the evening explodes into terrifying chaos.
With her father away and no assist coming, paradise turns into a jail as Lucy and her associates combat to outlive a lethal predator they as soon as trusted.
Johnny Sequoyah, Jessica Alexander, Troy Kotsur, Victoria Wyant, Gia Hunter, Benjamin Cheng, Charlie Mann, Tienne Simon, and Miguel Torres Umba star.
Walter Hamada (IT, Joker), John Hodges (Safety Not Guaranteed), and Bradley Pilz produce. Executive producers embrace Roberts, Vicki Dee Rock, Nathan Samdahl, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro, and Andrew Lary.
Primate is rated R for “strong bloody violent content, gore, language, and some drug use.”
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “The true star here is Ben, and the stunning creature performance and practical effects that bring him to life. Primate may not ultimately impress for originality, but as an old school animal attack creature feature, it’s an adrenaline rush of fun.”
Currently accessible on Digital, Primate can be launched on physical media April 21.
