Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

PeterRoeder36 Don't get me wrong. I love bad movies. I love The Room. However, this movie really sucks. Bad acting, dialog, etc. There was some hope in the movie until the first infection. After that it is just a pointless repetition of fights and bad horror scenes. I thought the weird big leeches in the cave were cool but still this is an absolutely trashy b-movie. I don't mind charming b-movies like Killer Clowns from Outer Space or Troll 2 but these movies have charm and fun. Primal is just plain stupid basically. I mean seriously would they just wander around there without food and water and just fight for no reason. A real insult to the intelligence of the viewer. If the director wanted to make a cool splatter movie he could have just done that but the beginning of the movie is more like Friday the 13th. However, then it turns into a weird splatter-movie. Really stupid crap.

Mrssmiff Australian horror film about a group of friends out in the wilderness to look at some ancient rock drawings. One becomes infected with a strange type of virus which turns her into a man-eating wild woman with super-strength and the rest of the group have to deal with fending her off whilst dealing with the possibility the rest of the group may suffer the same fate.For me, I rather enjoyed the film. Characters were interesting, dialogue good etc, but the CGI effects at the end of the film ruined it for me as they were not very well done and just made the whole thing rather unbelievable. I'm not a huge fan of CGI anyway, but when it's done badly it makes it worse.

JoeB131 Yup, because we haven't seen that like a million times since "Night of the Living Dead"! Six Australian students go to a lost cave where there are some cave paintings painted by some guy just before he got killed by a fellow caveman. And apparently, there is something in the water that mutates people into savage killing things that are serving some kind of host creature in the cave that apparently doesn't mind waiting a few thousand years for a host or something.So we watch as characters are either turned or killed by the ones who were, as we get over the top scenes using the less than prime cuts from a butcher's shop somewhere.I give the movie a bit of credit for the uninfected characters arguing over who is going to kill the infected ones or if they should kill them. But the whole scenario is so contrived it was laughable- like insects that eat through tire rubber on an SUV. Really? Wow, that was convenient.I think there was supposed to be some kind of sub-plot with the cave painting, but not really. They didn't go with it or they lost it in editing.

wes-connors After a bloody attack on a 12,000-year-old wall painter, a budding group of young anthropologists arrive at the same site, in the present day. The six college-student types find some wall paintings, then have a few foreshadowing mishaps. Things heat up when sexy blonde Krew Boylan (as Mel) goes skinny-dipping in a pool of leeches. Well-built lover Lindsay Farris (as Chad) stands by while more stud-like Wil Traval (as Dace) tears the leeches from Ms. Boylan's quivering body...She's infected with something and starts spitting teeth and growling like a hungry animal...Of the six, watch for Zoe Tuckwell-Smith (as Anja) to overcome her claustrophobia and take charge. Two more minor monster bait are funny Damien Freeleagus (as Warren) and girly Rebekah Foord (as Kris). Interesting to note how the sex acts occur before anyone undresses; this could be "safe sex" for the monster set. "Primal" was written, directed and edited by Josh Reed. He knows how to edit his own work to best effect, and doesn't fall into self-indulgent traps; the result moves okay for this sort of gore.***** Primal (8/26/10) Josh Reed ~ Zoe Tuckwell-Smith, Krew Boylan, Wil Traval, Lindsay Farris
