'Primate' Review

Rating: 4/5 stars

'Primate' is a thrilling and intense film that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The storyline of a pet chimpanzee contracting rabies and turning violent is both terrifying and gripping. The tension builds as Lucy and her friends must fight for their lives against their once beloved pet, Ben.

Overall, 'Primate' is a must-watch for fans of horror and suspense films. It will leave you with a sense of unease and a newfound appreciation for the dangers that can come with owning exotic pets.
