Primate is a natural horror film about a pet chimpanzee that gets rabies and goes on a rampage throughout its household, which includes a gaggle of twenty-somethings.
And these twenty-somethings, all women (with one guy), go barefoot throughout the entire movie.
Johnny Sequoyah (yep, that's her name), Jessica Alexander, Victoria Wyant, and Gia Hunter round out the female cast who wind up getting trapped with a rabies-infected monkey in a swanky, cliffside mansion.
Primate, as a film overall, is very good. It manges to create some superb suspense over its lean 90 minute run time.
The chimp is played by Miguel Torres Umba in make up. Real Chimpanzees are no longer used in movies and TV because they're considered too dangerous.
Chimpanzees are very strong, and there's a real-life horror story of a woman getting brutally attacked by one when it abruptly charged her. HBO Max has a documentary series called Chimp Crazy, about people who are determined to keep chimps as pets (often treating them like members of the family). Movies like Primate, as well as Nope, show what a dangerous idea this is.
I didn't mean to turn this into a public service message about the dangers of keeping chimps, but I ran into the weeds while reseaching this topic. There's no bondage in Primate, but plenty of non-stop BF scenes.
