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 David Crow Den of Geek It's as surface level as the pool that becomes many of the characters’ tomb. But like any Hawaiian body of water, there is something inviting about the picture’s monkey games. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Roberto Tyler Ortiz Loud and Clear Reviews Johannes Roberts’ Primate delivers gnarly kills and jaw-dropping practical effects; while the movie isn’t perfect, it’s still a great time. Rated: 3/5 Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire It’s lean, gnarly, and mindless — in other words, exactly what you signed up for when you bought a ticket for a creature feature called Primate. Rated: 8/10 Sep 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
