“Deliciously gruesome”
-Richard Whittaker / The Austin Chronicle

“A supercharged slasher with a Darwinian dimension”
– Anton Bitel / Projected Figures

“[Director-screenwriter Johannes] Roberts’ homage to King’s Cujo — An absolute blast”
– Matthew Jackson / Dread Central

“There are admittedly unique aspects of Primate that really do elevate the whole thing beyond the usual gorefest (but, trust, it is a rather glorious gorefest)”
– Brandon Wainerdi / Fangoria

“What if Cujo and Halloween, but a chimpanzee? That’s the burning question Primate asks and answers with furious, flesh-tearing aplomb. Johannes Roberts’ nasty creature feature is absurdly no-frills, launching straight into a primal hunt-and-stalk scenario like a Jane Goodall special turned horror thriller. — Sharp visuals and punishing violence leave plenty to applaud. Primate is a mean and merciless “When Animals Attack” flick that runs on pure popcorn entertainment goodness —
Roberts spotlights the film’s influences like a badge of honor, including nods to Jurassic Park and all walks of creature-first infamy. Heck, he can’t even help recreating the blood-clouding pool shot from The Strangers: Prey at Night because when you have a calling card, why not use it? But homages never feel like cheap replications, because Roberts ensures his film has its own personality beyond pop-culture regurgitation.”
