Primal

I have to agree with the other reviewer, I would give this "movie" a negative rating if it were an option.

I don't even want to waste my time writing 10 lines, but I want to save others from this trash.

The acting is HORRIBLE, the production quality is ABYSMAL, the direction could have been done better by my 12 year old, and I've seen scarier costumes on kids at Haloween.

I said I hated Carver, well that movie is an academy award winner compared this straight to video crap.

Do not rent this thinking it will be fun or entertaining - it ain't.

I saw the screener for this and bored out of my mind is the only way to put it. A story that makes no sense. The closet thing to subplot this "movie" had was only briefly brought up, more to fill time than anything else and mostly nonsensical and lacking any bases on reality. Not to mention why show us a monster at all if its going to look so bad. The problem is this film isn't even good in the cheesy b-movie horror movie way. Its hard to even laugh at this kind of trash. This "movie" takes itself to serious. This "movie" Lacking entertainment, logic or cohesion should be considered unwatchable. If a "movie" was gonna suck SO SO bad they should have done us the courtesy of showing us the boobs. This "movie" gets a 1 from me only because the lack of a zero star rating.

Another user said that the budget was only 10K. If that is true what did they do with the money? The actors were truly uninspired and didn't manage to evoke the tiniest feeling of care from me. The story (or what passed as a script) was incoherent other than here's a bunch of dumb kids in the woods getting picked off one by one. Late in the movie they throw in several "Deliverance"-style yahoos just out of the blue for no reason I could figure out, the of course kill them off immediately!

And here's a good question: WHY when you have such a low budget and cannot afford a good monster suit would you show the monster at the first opportunity? Also, WHY overlay the "scratched film effect" over the film every time the monster is seen? Is he supposed to be from an earlier time?

Also - the whole thing takes place in a northern forest and the characters are dressed appropriately. But at the end when they call for help and a "rescue helicopter" flew out to them - look at the PALM TREES in the footage shot from the copter! What a hoot!

The credits suddenly pop up as though the director has gotten tired of the movie and no longer wants to explain what happens to the last few kids. And the credits themselves are so amateurishly done - it's like some kids in junior high school did this movie.

My wife and I were just looking for a bad horror movie to laugh at. The genre provides many such films. But the film-making here is *so* bad it quickly became no fun. My goal here is to add another voice to help others avoid wasting their money renting this. It is bad, bad, bad. Don't quit your day jobs!

Well what can one say about this wonderful film. After the first two minutes of this movie ( if you can call it that ) I knew I could entertain myself more by pushing my fingers into my eyes. I have no real clue what this movie was suppose to be about, but I can tell you what it was really about. It was about an hour and twenty minutes too long. This movie was about pain and suffering. Not for the characters in the film, but for you the moron who rented it. Now if pain and suffering are what you're looking for then look no further than "Primal". I never thought I would find something that sucked more than "Wolves Of Wall Street" or "Bloodrayne", but I have. God bless you "Primal." Abstain fellow movie fans. Abstain and save your mind before it turns to wallpaper paste from this movie.

Ps. IMDb Can we not go lower than a one? Cause that's too high for this movie. I was thinking something more like a -100 or a skull and cross bones.
