De tropische vakantie van een groep vrienden verandert in een angstaanjagend, primitief verhaal van horror en overleving.
- Patrick Wai8 april 2026More fun than it probably has any right to be, this is a brisk, bloody killer-chimp thriller that knows an easy watch beats a profound one. The plot is predictable and the creature work does not always sell the illusion — the chimp suit is a little too “guy at a very committed theme park” — but the movie makes up for it with generous gore, solid momentum, and a surprisingly decent mix of horror, family drama, Gen Z party chaos, and the added tension of a deaf single father caught in the mess. It is not reinventing anything, and you can see most of it coming, but it still works as a slick, low-effort recommendation: nasty enough for horror fans, simple enough for a casual night, and better than expected even when it is wearing its B-movie DNA on its furry sleeve.
- Hipster ZOMBIE15 januari 2026Primate (2025) is pretty dumb, gloriously gory, and exactly the kind of midnight-movie creature feature that knows it’s throwing bananas and leans into the splatter. The setup is pure B-movie goodness: a crazed pet chimpanzee with rabies by way of a mongoose, and escalateing choas with some very stupid young adults caught in the middle. The gore lands hard and often, with wince-worthy kills that feel handcrafted for genre sickos who like their horror messy and mean. Like me. The human element is a circus of bad decisions. The kids are walking cautionary tales, and the parent (a deaf author who is about to go on a book tour) are so aggressively brain-dead you’ll forget they’re supposedly ape experts. It’s frustrating, hilarious, and oddly charming in how committed it is to stupidity. What really sells it is the score, a creepy, synth-soaked pulse that feels like a lost Goblin tape unearthed from a Dario Argento vault. Primate won’t be the best horror film of 2026, but it definitely won’t be the worst, and against all odds, you’ll probably have a damn good time watching it, I know I did.
