Primate (2026) Trailer Unleashes Paramount’s Wildest Horror Yet!

By: Michael Jacobs, Senior Editor | JRL CHARTS – Movie Trailers

LAS VEGAS — (October 17, 2025) — Paramount Pictures has dropped the official trailer for “Primate (2026)”, a savage new natural horror film that takes “family vacation” terror to a feral new level.

When a tropical getaway goes horrifyingly wrong, a family’s adopted chimpanzee named Ben becomes violent after being bitten by a rabid animal. What begins as innocent playtime turns into a terrifying survival story — where instinct replaces reason, and no one is safe once nature strikes back.

Directed and co-written by horror visionary Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night), the film stars Johnny Sequoyah, Jessica Alexander, and Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur in a story that’s pure animal instinct meets human fear.

They thought he was family…

“Primate” is slated for U.S. theatrical release on January 9, 2026, and marks Roberts’ return to creature-horror storytelling — combining his sharp visual style with an unnerving realism that pushes the boundaries of fear.
