De tropische vakantie van een groep vrienden verandert in een angstaanjagend, primitief verhaal van horror en overleving.
- 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.
- shirazesat12 februari 2026A lesson in pet ownership and too much glass. Edge of seat horror that's really riveting. I tagged this high due to the quality of the story and excellent pace. Plus no-one does anything daft, like you usually see in horrors - everything is believable. I would say, though, that there's too much gore in some scenes, and I really hope high ratings for this isn't misinterpreted as a sign that gore is good. "Saw", for example, was excellent because of its concept but producers focused on gore rather than concept
