Primate is a satisfying creature feature that delivers the monkey business audiences expect with all the lashings of blood, rabid animal aggression, and B-movie fun, without ever chimping [sic] on the gore.

No Other Choice

Damien Straker

The film works as a bleak but funny satire of determination and single-mindedness. We are aligned with someone convinced there is no alternative to violence.

Keeper
(2025)
|
Harris Dang
|
Keeper is an entertaining ride that has all the expected horror trappings from Perkins. However, due to scant characterisations, style-over-substance filmmaking and anti-climactic payoff, it is safe to say this film may not be kept close to the chest.

Predator: Badlands is another winner from Trachtenberg who proves the franchise is in good hands. While it may take time to accommodate the tonal changes, the formula is refreshed by affable characters and unexpected heart and warmth. Recommended.
