We’ve all been there. Watching a horror movie in the cinema, the whole room goes quiet as the suspense builds — even popcorn containers stop rattling — then bam, the room screams… and quickly bursts out laughing.
And while this experience may not personally appeal to a scaredy-cat like myself (give me a rom-com any day), it’s part of the reason why horror movies are so mind-bogglingly beloved — they bring us together.
Psychologically, it turns out that being scared together is actually good for us. Research shows the rush of oxytocin and endorphins triggered by jump scares and suspense can help strengthen social bonds. Meaning the people you sit next to in the cinema could become lifelong friends, or that casual movie date might turn into the person you watch movies with forever.
That’s where Primate comes in — the latest horror flick taking Australia by storm.
You now have the chance to win tickets to see all the action on the big screen, meaning you and your bestie can get in on all the action and make that bond even stronger.
Sounds good, right? Well, just keep on reading ‘cause it’s going to get even better!
What is Primate the movie?
Primate is a movie all about how quickly things can turn when your pet becomes a little more primal.
Meet Ben, a domesticated chimp who’s so playful and loveable, he’s really more like a younger brother than a pet. On summer holiday, Lucy (Johnny Sequoyah) brings friends home to Hawaii to meet her family, but it is quickly apparent that something’s wrong with Ben.
What follows can only be described as pulse-racing, scream-inducing chaos, as the whole family must try to survive this small chimp who’s changed in a way no one could expect.
