Official Trailer
A group of friends' tropical vacation turns into a terrifying, primal tale of horror and survival.
Horror maestro Johannes Roberts ('47 Meters Down', ‘The Strangers: Prey at Night’) is back with a terrifying new thriller 'Primate', starring Johnny Sequoyah (“Dexter: New Blood”) as a young woman whose Hawaiian vacation becomes a desperate fight for survival against an unlikely threat — a rabies-infected chimpanzee named Ben. The intense trailer reveals a claustrophobic game of cat-and-mouse as Sequoyah and her friends, played by an ensemble cast including Jessica Alexander (‘The Little Mermaid’) and Oscar winner Troy Kotsur ('CODA'), find themselves trapped in a cliffside paradise turned deadly hunting ground.
Roberts, known for crafting taut survival thrillers, teams up with rising star Sequoyah and Alexander for this new entry in the "when animals attack" horror subgenre. 'Primate' brings its primitive terror to theaters nationwide on Jan. 9th, 2026.
