About
You’ll like Primate if you want a no-nonsense killer-ape horror with nonstop tension and nasty, practical effects; Not for you if you dislike slasher-style violence, thin character focus, or slow pacing, and you may prefer The Unhealer or Rogue instead.
Pros: tense survival ride; brutal practical gore; chimp-centric thrills | Cons: flat character depth; repetitive decisions; thin explanations
