Review of Primal (2010) by Vincent W — 08 May 2013

This film was extremely impressive for a small-budget flick. The monsters got progressively more and more terrifying and by the end things were way out of control. This film mirrors other films such as The Descent and Shrooms where a group of young adults goes snooping around in the woods. There were a few interesting camera tricks and stunts that made this far more immersible than I thought it would be. The story was a little bit muddled in places but this type of film really only needs to focus on the fight for survival and can drop the complex back-stories. The costuming and makeup departments did an excellent job. This film even was able to capture a mythical feel due to the cave drawings.

SUMMARY: A very good film! Recommended if you are not in the mood for a big blockbuster but you want some quality terror.
