Movies like Primate

“Primate (2026) is a 2020s American slasher that transposes an animal-attack premise onto a Hawaiian family house to generate immediate survival pressure. The film stages its core conflict — a pet chimpanzee made violent by rabies turning domestic space into a lethal environment — through close-up practical cinematography and high-contrast chiaroscuro, sustaining taut pacing across compact setpieces. The film offers a focused, sensory study of group dynamics under threat and thus functions as a contemporary variant on animal-horror within the slasher template.”
