“Primate” Teaser Features Chilling 911 Call Before Tomorrow’s Trailer Release

A frightening 911 call opens the first teaser for Paramount’s new horror film Primate, giving fans a small taste of what’s to come before the full trailer arrives tomorrow, October 16.

The brief clip features a terrified voice saying, “He’s gonna kill me. He killed all the others.” It’s a chilling introduction to what looks like one of the most intense creature horror films in years.

The movie follows Ben, a pet chimp who becomes infected with rabies and turns violently against the people around him.

The story centers on Lucy, a college student who comes home to visit her family and their beloved chimp. After Ben’s infection spreads during a pool party, Lucy and her friends are forced to lock themselves inside the pool area, trying to survive the terrifying night.
