Primate (2025) Was Not What I Expected

from The Fear Review Hosted by thefearreview

William was impressed. Amy walked away with a headache. We went into Primate (2025) expecting a fairly standard creature feature. What we got instead was something far more brutal, loud, and relentless. William found himself genuinely impressed by the tension and the practical effects, while Amy struggled with the volume, the gore, and watching an animal completely spiral out of control. In this episode of The Fear Review, we break down: Why Primate feels more like survival horror than a typical creature feature How the no-CGI, practical effects make the chimp disturbingly real (to the point it feels like a very angry horror Muppet) Why this movie lands closer to Cujo than camp, and why that makes it especially tough for animal lovers Where the line is for reluctant horror fans versus hardcore genre fans And whether this one is worth watching… or simply too much ⚠️ Spoiler warning before we get into specific scenes and story details. Around here, The Fear is Family. Amy generally prefers her animals closer to Lady and the Tramp than whatever this was. 🎧 LISTEN TO THE AUDIO PODCAST Spotify → https://spotify.thefearreview.com Apple Podcasts → https://apple.thefearreview.com Amazon Music → https://amazon.thefearreview.com 📺 WATCH MORE FROM THE FEAR REVIEW Full Episodes → https://episodes.thefearreview.com Short Clips → https://shorts.thefearreview.com
