Johannes Roberts delivers a wild creature feature in his latest slasher flick ‘Primate’, set on a remote tropical vacation that quickly turns into a nightmare. The film stars Johnny Sequoyah and Troy Kotsur, along with an actor in a convincing monkey suit, bringing to life a story where a rabid pet chimpanzee wreaks havoc among a group of college students.
The plot stays simple but effective: what begins as a fun getaway soon descends into chaos as the chimp turns violent, forcing the young adults to fight for survival. Roberts’ direction stays sharp, balancing moments of nerve-shredding suspense with occasional silliness, making ‘Primate’ an enjoyably thrilling ride.
