Paramount Pictures has announced the home‑entertainment release of Primate, the new horror‑thriller from director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down). The film will be available on Blu‑ray and DVD on April 21, featuring filmmaker commentary and an array of behind‑the‑scenes featurettes.
Synopsis
Lucy’s tropical island homecoming was supposed to be beaches and best friends — not a fight for her life. When her family’s exceptionally clever chimp spirals into a savage, rabid frenzy, the night erupts into chaos. With her father away and no help coming, paradise becomes a prison as Lucy and her friends battle a deadly predator they once trusted.
