Paradise Turned Nightmare: The Rabid Transformation of Ben

The realm of horror takes a fresh turn with a film that redefines terror through the lens of a primate gone awry. A new chapter in cinematic suspense emerges with a narrative that transforms a once-affectionate creature into an agent of shocking mayhem.

At the start of this year, spectators were given the pleasure of experiencing a film centered on a murderous simian when a recent adaptation of a renowned horror tale brought a deadly ape to life. For those seeking another dose of unsettling primate prowess, there is now additional reason to be intrigued.

Paramount Pictures has released a preview of their latest venture, Primate, a film that follows a family relentlessly pursued by an ape named Ben, who was once beloved and congenial. A twist of fate sees this creature inadvertently exposed to a rabies infection, spurring an irreversible transformation into a savage and lethal force. What begins as an idyllic family vacation rapidly spirals into a horrifying ordeal.

The film is slated to make its theatrical debut on… January 9. Below are some key details about the film:

  • The movie’s official preview is now available for viewing viewing.
  • An official, succinct synopsis has been released.

A circle of friends discovers that their tropical escape unexpectedly evolves into an eerie saga of raw terror and survival, where the boundaries between nature and nightmare dangerously blur.
