Primate (2026)

 

Now this is the movie that I have been really looking forward to, an adopted chimpanzee (as you do) is bitten by a rabid animal and suddenly becomes violent (to put it mildly) Mark Kermode on his always entertaining podcast and youtube channel, gave it a big thumbs up, it's a lean 89 mins long, starts off with a face ripping and doesn't give up from there, is it the gory ride I hoped for though......? Oh yes, as I said it's starts with a nice face ripping then we back track three days to the lead up to this attack. A bunch of late teens/early twenties are partying, thankfully not to annoying Characters, and are hiding, mainly in the swimming pool to avoid the crazy chimp, lots more gore, a very tasty removal of a guys lower jaw bone is a highlight, great gory fun, the CGI chimp is on the whole pretty good. With "28 years Later: The Bone Temple", "Get Help" and now this (all of which I've watched on the big screen) 2026 has got off to a belting start which is unusual for the early part of any year, and next up is "Whistle" WOOF!
