Primate

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

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

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.

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 perfect movie to remove the January blues.
