The latest from director Johannes Roberts (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City) is Paramount’s upcoming horror movie Primate, and it’s bringing its gory mayhem to theaters early next year.
Primate releases in theaters on January 9, 2026.
In the horror movie, a group of friends’ tropical vacation turns into a terrifying, primal tale of horror and survival. No other plot details have been revealed so far.
Roberts co-wrote the screenplay with Ernest Riera. The film stars Johnny Sequoyah and Oscar®-winning Troy Kotsur (CODA).
If Roberts’ involvement and the description of Primate’s plot doesn’t hook you, then it’s worth noting that the upcoming horror movie has been set to open this year’s Fantastic Fest. The festival describes the film as “an unbelievably entertaining horror film, filled with gory mayhem.”
