Episode 186 - Primate (2026)

Welcome to the Horror Project Podcast. This week, Laura and Phil review Primate (2026), a tropical getaway that goes spectacularly wrong!

Lucy’s island homecoming takes a deadly turn when her family’s unusually intelligent chimpanzee, Ben, contracts rabies. With her father away and no help on the horizon, paradise quickly becomes a prison. Lucy and her friends are forced into a brutal fight for survival against a pet they once trusted — now driven by pure, uncontrollable rage.

We discuss Ben’s tragic loss of control as he succumbs to the virus, break down the film’s scenes of full-throttle monkey carnage. We also take a detour into the history of famous chimps, from the iconic PG Tips ads to Bubbles, the onetime companion of Michael Jackson.

Sun, suspense, and simian savagery — thanks for listening.
