‘Primate’ Swings to Digital Tomorrow; Blu-Ray Detailed

After crushing at the box office, Paramount’s killer ape slasher Primate arrives to buy or rent on Digital tomorrow, with over 30 minutes of bonus content. Blu-ray and DVD will be available on April 21, 2026. Special features are detailed below.

In the film, Lucy’s tropical island homecoming was supposed to be beaches and best friends—not a fight for her life. When her family’s exceptionally clever chimp spirals into a savage, rabid frenzy, the night explodes into terrifying chaos. With her father away and no help coming, paradise becomes a prison as Lucy and her friends fight to survive a deadly predator they once trusted.

Fans of Jordan Peele’s Nope know just how terrifying Primate will be, and knowing it hails from filmmaker Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, Strangers: Prey at Night) only instills more confidence. In fact, Dread Central’s Matthew Jackson reviewed Primate, writing that Roberts’ “love letter to [Stephen King’s] Cujo is a blast.”

Johnny Sequoyah, Jessica Alexander, Troy Kotsur, Victoria Wyant, Gia Hunter, Benjamin Cheng, Charlie Mann, and Tienne Simon star in the film.
