Get ready for a chilling cinematic experience with Primate: A Rabies-Induced Nightmare. This upcoming horror film is set to hit theaters on January 9, 2026, and it's already creating quite a buzz!
Primate is directed by the genre veteran, Johannes Roberts, who has an impressive track record with films like Hellbreeder and 47 Meters Down. Roberts, along with his writing partner Ernest Riera, has crafted a story that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Imagine a group of friends on a tropical vacation, only to find themselves in a primal battle for survival against a rabid chimp. Yes, you heard that right!
But here's where it gets controversial... While some may view this as pure entertainment, others might argue that it sensationalizes a serious disease. What do you think?
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur and a talented ensemble of rising stars. It's part of a larger horror initiative led by Walter Hamada, the former DC Films boss, who aims to bring several low- to mid-budget horror films to audiences each year.
And this is the part most people miss... Primate is not just about the horror; it's a commentary on the impact of diseases like rabies and the ethical dilemmas they present.
