Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle If you wish that Nope had just doubled-down on the chimp violence, Primate is absolutely the blood-flavored popcorn flick you've been waiting for. Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Slant Magazine Primate is high-strung in its eagerness to get down to the carnage, so much so that the human story feels almost totally inconsequential. Rated: 2/4 Sep 21, 2025 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Roberts’ old school techniques, complete with stunning practical effects, and nail-biting suspense, ensure this animal attack feature has real bite. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Dan Scully ScullyVision A non-stop cavalcade of tension, brutality, and absolutely killer practical effects. Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Kurt Halfyard ScreenAnarchy Those who love this kind of lean and mean creature feature, one with a grim and ridiculous sense of humour, should be very pleased with the results. ... It is nostalgia for a bygone era of filmmaking, but it is done with a dash of contemporary flair. Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net It's really just a fun horror movie concept that succeeds as 89 minute escapism / totally F'ed up genre entertainment. Rated: 8/10 Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
