It is still 2025, but we have just seen the first great horror movie for 2026 (Fantastic Fest)

We are still in the last term of 2025, firmly in the middle of the fall season. This means that we still have a award season for traffic, as well as horror films on our way to Halloween. This has already started somewhat with the “Conjuring: Last Rites”. But the nervous season has a space for more than one horror movie. But hey, it was not too early to start looking forward. To this end, lovers of this type must know that 2026 will be launched with a stir in this section.

The twentieth edition of Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas recently, began, and the opening night “Primate” was a new creature feature of Director Johannes Roberts of fame “47 meters”. Paramount will not release this movie until the first week of January, but in general, if the studio is ready to show a movie for the public in advance, this is a good sign. Dear reader, I am here to tell you that, in this case, a very good sign. Nearly four months before its theatrical release, I am here to inform you that “Primate” will be the first great horror movie for the year 2026.

Without reaching distant details because there is no even trailer for this online clip until now (until writing these lines), the film follows a young woman named Lucy (Johnny Selewah) and she reunites her family in Hawaii alongside some friends. Only when they meet at home, they meet Ben, the family is very smart and charming. Unfortunately for them, Ben is not loved forever, as it ends, well, monkeys, leaving Lucy and others to fight for their lives on a night of hell.

The film is also the Oscar Troy Cotsur (Koda) stars)Who is one of the best things in it. Cotsur deaf, and during questions and answers, revealed that the role of Lucy’s father was originally written for the person of hearing. The film’s designs changed this for Kotsur, and without diving in this everything, it was an additional feature of the film.
