In Primate, now available on Digital…

“Lucy’s tropical island homecoming was supposed to be beaches and best friends — not a fight for her life. When her family’s exceptionally clever chimp spirals into a savage rabid frenzy, the night explodes into terrifying chaos. With her father away and no help coming, paradise becomes a prison as Lucy and her friends fight to survive a deadly predator they once trusted.”

Johannes Roberts co-wrote the screenplay with Ernest Riera. The horror movie stars Johnny Sequoyah and Oscar®-winning actor Troy Kotsur (CODA) in his first horror role.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Johannes Roberts’ latest is a lean, mean horror throwback, wearing its influences on its sleeves while managing to inject enough freshness into the familiar concept through slick technical precision and a constant mounting of dread and death. It’s also not without humor. Primate may take its crazed beast with utmost seriousness, but it’s not afraid to get playful with its concept either.”

Up next, Primate will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on April 21 via Paramount.

Johnny Sequoyah, Jessica Alexander, Troy Kotsur, Victoria Wyant, Gia Hunter, Benjamin Cheng, Charlie Mann, Tienne Simon, and Miguel Torres Umba star.

Primate is rated R for “strong bloody violent content, gore, language, and some drug use.”
