Plot
Lucy, a college student, along with her friends, spend their vacation at her family's home in Hawaii, which includes her pet chimpanzee, Ben. However, when Ben contracts rabies after being bitten by a rabid animal, the group must fight for their lives in order to avoid the now-violent chimp.

Primate Review

'Primate' Takes Viewers On A Wild, Bloody Ride They Will Never Forget. 'Primate' is a movie that was made for the theatrical experience, boasting great lead performances and a whole lot of bloody, over-the-top kills. Take one look at the trailer and it is very clear that 'Primate' is meant to entertain with bloody, over-the-top kills. It blends genres to create something that is equal parts funny as it is grotesque.

With great comedic moments that truly land, and a killer chimpanzee that audiences will never forget, this film is the definition of a good time at the movies.
