Primate - Kritiken

Nothing happens in it that you won’t expect, but the way it happens still manages to surprise you, if only because of how sadistic it all feels.

...if you buy a ticket for one killer chimpanzee movie this year, this one delivers the goods.

There’s an atavistic joy to be had in the January slasher—the kind of no-frills, all-chills gorefest that often comes around in the sleepy opening weeks of the year...

The horror is really just about an ape attacking humans, but after some mild backstory tedium, it unleashes stylish suspense (and gore).

...like any Hawaiian body of water, there is something inviting about the picture’s monkey games.

This horror film is clench-your-teeth nasty.

Roberts is a reliable pulp horror guy and expert with basic suspense exercises – while Sequoyah impresses as a capable heroine who must juggle responsibilities and risks.

...a fun and bloody horror film that, despite some missteps and missed opportunities, delivers 90 minutes of chimp goodness.

...the perfect movie to remove the January blues.

...välproducerad slasherfilm med mycket humor.

Filmen levererar verkligen sina blodiga chocker utan att dra ut på något. Enkelt men intensivt.
