A Vacation Gone Horribly Wrong
In PRIMATE, a group of friends heads to a lush island paradise for what should be an idyllic getaway. But when strange noises echo through the jungle and something begins stalking them from the shadows, their dream trip devolves into a primal battle for survival. What begins as curiosity becomes a test of instinct, fear, and human limits.
A Stellar Ensemble Cast
