The film is backed by Paramount Pictures and is directed by Johannes Roberts, the filmmaker behind 47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Well, Primate is quickly rising up the ranks of horror movies I&#8217;m most excited to see. It&#8217;s about a girl who brings home a pet chimp named Ben. The chimp contracts rabies during a pool party, and all the friends need to band together to survive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On the surface, that sounds like a pretty generic premise, but the word out of Fantastic Fest is that the movie is a great time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What has me excited is that everybody is praising the practical effects. Without a trailer, we don&#8217;t have an idea of what the practical effects look like yet, but people who saw it at Fantastic Fest are ranting and raving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They&#8217;re also praising the film&#8217;s willingness to embrace the absurd. That is music to my ears. I don&#8217;t need an A24 allegorical horror film that is about the nature of the beast within man. I just want to watch a monkey go crazy on a bunch of teenagers for 90 minutes. Luckily, it sounds like that&#8217;s exactly what Primate is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/halloween-horror-classic-trick-r-200825274.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Halloween Horror Classic Trick 'r Treat Coming to Theaters in 4k;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Halloween Horror Classic Trick &#8216;r Treat Coming to Theaters in 4k<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As somebody who loves horror movies and tries to stay up to date on all things horror, I had never heard of a new film called Primate until recently.
